Inga had a multi-school track & field competition today. She was SO into it. Her school was representing Finland, so she outfitted herself in blue & white. She was determined to beat everyone...and she almost did! She was the fastest girl and was beat by only 1 boy.
Dio had a race for his gym class. I asked him how it went, and he said, "Not great, I'm better at longer distances. This was a very short race and I'm very tall, so it takes me a while to get going." So I thought this meant he didn't do very well.
Turns out...he won all 3 races! He just didn't win by a huge margin! I teased him, "I need to translate everything from Dio-ese into English! 'Not great' means 'I won every race!' "
We had dinner at the beach tonight after school. I finally got the courage to go in, and it was glorious. A bit of a cold shock getting in, but that quickly dissipated. I stayed in the water for a while and still wasn't cold, just refreshed and invigorated.
Oh, the most fun part of the day (for me) was going to a big furniture consignment store. I found so many gorgeous peices of furniture for the front apartment and would have bought them all right there. But Eric wanted to wait a bit and at least measure things and think about it. (And I get it--we're in full-on renovations and where would we put things?) But...oh my goodness...some of these things were amazing. And I'm a bit jaded by the amazingness of antiques at this point.
