Friday: rain

It rained all morning.  Per the weather apps, there was supposed to be a brief amount and then it would be done.  Instead it rained pretty constantly and the thunder came and went too.  It's been like this all week, and has been really weird.

It was an excellent day to not have school.  It would not have been a good option for Isaac to walk to the bus stop, but I don't know if I'd bring him to school or just to the bus stop.  It's going to happen at some point and I guess I'll just play it by ear.

Our evening plans were canceled due to a family having sick kids, so we went over to another family's house for a few hours this afternoon.  It was a great choice.  The kids played well and Natalie and I haven't seen each other for a few weeks so we were able to catch up on everything.

Yesterday's karate class was just warm-ups: push-ups, sit-ups, and squats.  "Do as many as you can."  "Ok, now let's check your form and do them properly.  Do as many as you can."

I didn't do well on push-ups, but I was under the impression he wanted toe push-ups and not knee push-ups, which is what I usually do.  However, I did really well with the sit-ups, outlasting most of the kids.  (It worked well because I was just about to drop out and he told us to stop, so no one knew that I was at my limit.)  I did well at squats too, but would say I was just in the high middle of the pack.  Anyway, all that to say that stairs have been difficult all day.  We sometimes do squats as warm-ups, but not often enough that my legs are used to them.
