Week 85

Summer is winding down the long and winding road. We are trying to get the playtime in, the grill time in, and not curse at mosquitos. The weather will be awesome the next few days, so I expect there will be picnics and outdoor eating. Hooray! The garden is slowly turning out tomatoes, but has been very generous with the kale, which has been nice. We are trying to keep it easy and light this week.

Week 84

Henry is at his first all-day camp this week, which makes it a bit easier to go grocery shopping. One-kid-grocery-shopping= tolerable. Two-kid-grocery-shopping= Stuff of nightmares. I have been trying to eat at home more, so I am planning more meals. Which means more dishes and more cleaning, but after so much eating out, I am actually totally fine with that! Plus, I have a new, wonderful floor to slide around on, ha ha.

Week 83

I can't believe summer is winding down. We have been out-of-town for most of June, a combination of Josh redoing the floors sent us to TN for two weeks, and then we hit our 2013 family reunion in Michingan! Good times were had. I am trying to type this while two chatty boys are at the table, so I think I ought to just get to it.
