Smorgasbord of Fun


Mitch took this picture of us.
This summer thing has taken it's toll on the kids and they both took long naps yesterday. Really long naps at the same time, so it was a good day. I finally finished washing all our windows, inside and out. You can see streaks from the squeegee still so I don't know if they qualify as clean, but it's a job that's done now. I also finished putting the border around my picnic quilt so it might get finished in time to be used this summer.

Mitch, the kids' cousin, has been staying with Grandma for a week. Hudson can not get enough of playing with that kid. We had him over the other night for a weenie roast and sleep out. He's a good helper too. Whenever you ask him to help he'll say, "Yeah, sure."We've been trying to keep the yard and garden watered and weeded. Our garden is finally starting to make some headway. Our strawberries are on, so we've been picking and jamming. Yesterday I ate some of our mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette and it tasted gourmet.

We have been enjoying playing in the water, eating icecream, going on 4 wheeler rides to deliver water and treats to the guys. Summer is so fun.

Oh, and I've been keeping up on my training. I run in my first race on Saturday.

I love your picnic quilt - you are so domestic! Remember when you helped me make placemats - I was a maniac, but we still use them today and love them! Thanks for your patience!
