Saturday morning... carrot pancakes for breakfast.
At the library, I found Will at one of the computer stations doing a search for Transformer books on his own. I showed him how to request the books he'd like since he's pretty much borrowed every Transformer book our branch has. :)
At the park, taking a break from the playground to eat a packed lunch in the back of the Jeep. Then it's time to get back out there and play hard to wear them out for nap time!
Handstanding against a tree at the park. :)
Post bike ride and hill climb at Maumee Bay.
Saturday was a SUPER active day. We deserved some Mounds brownies! ;-) Our friends came over that evening to share them with us. Good times. This idea came from Pinterest and I just tailored it with my own favorite brownie and frosting recipes.
Lots of practice with crescent lunges this week for a weekly yoga challenge I was participating in on IG. I love this pose. I feel so far away from ever doing the splits, so this gives me the delusional feeling that I'm getting closer. Haha! ;) The basic pose form in both directions are along the left side of this collage and then several variations that were suggested along the right side.
From crescent lunge, I tried sinking down into lizard pose (top pic) with forearms on the ground. And then reached under and back for a bind with tucked toes. This felt awesome.
Results from another IG challenge: another variation of hollowback handstand with toes to wall and a dropped seat.
Warrior 3. I love the frontal view. :)
My lunch break escapades... spring nails! Essie Tart Deco (borrowed from my friend) with Essie Turquoise & Caicos. Love!!
Come on, summer sunshine! Can't wait to soak up your rays in my new birthday presents! Such a tease for a January birthday girl to receive swimsuits for a gift. ;) But I love them! Thanks, Craig and mom!!
One final wrap-up photo collage of the last variations of crescent lunge for this weekly challenge.
Soooo... I did some major handstand practice this week without my friend, the wall, and was pleasantly surprised to find I could hold it a bit longer than anticipated! Awesome whole-body workout!
Singing happy birthday to great grandpa for his 91st birthday dinner.
Gomukhasana or cow face pose.
My navasana or boat pose is seeing some improvement! Legs are working on getting straighter rather than parallel to the floor as before. Love progress!
Waiting for Dr. C. Four year well check on Thursday.
So brave! No tears for her shot and ~75th percentiles for weight and height.
Sophie showed me this exact pose and instructed me to mimic it before she took my picture. :) Gotta' love kid entertainment.
Hey! Look who's rhubarb is sproutin' up so beautifully again this spring! It's the second year now, so we're finally able to harvest this season. Can't wait! Just a couple more week until we gorge on all things rhubarb: crisp, pie, compote, crumb muffins, etc. Get in my belly!!
Still can't believe it's May! Loving my Lisa Leonard calendar message this month. Be happy! It's good for your health. :)

Happy Friday! Don't forget the importance and value of stretching. And at least once a day, get your head below your heart!
Forearm headstand with feet in "prayer".
