it’s official…i miss him.
he’s gone till friday afternoon. it’s been quiet here and that’s nice but i miss that voice and breathy loud laugh. i can’t wait to hear about everything! his first camp! so much fun stuff.
my mom was here for a short overnight visit.
so helpful. the kids were read more books in one evening than they heard all summer. thanks mom.
she also helped me clean a bunch.
in the spirit of keepin’ it real i thought i’d share a picture of what happens when i cook.
i don’t want you to think that since i shared my blueberry buckle recipe so pretty that i was anything like martha. this was my first batch of waffles for the evening. i mean…do i have to make such a mess on the first round? it was so crusted on by the end of the meal. i burn alot of food. i am so distracted. and i think i will remember things without setting a timer. why? i have never remembered!
my mom distracted my kids today with washing the truck while i got started on this!
i got the ground pretty level and we laid out the liner. my mom went to her friend’s house and i put annie down for a nap. talby, sean and i sat outside and put the entire pool together our selves. they were big helpers…honest. they got the pegs ready and handed them to me. they put the feet on the legs…ran the pipe through the top…helped me build the ladder…they cleaned up the trash.
craig was shocked when he came home.
he even said “let’s take a picture of you!”
he was not expecting me to even touch it let alone level the ground and BUILD IT.
it’s filling with water now.
once i started i saw it wasn’t difficult just takes time. it took me a good 6 hours…probably would have taken craig 3. 🙂
then my sister arrived with my 2 nieces for the rest of the weekend.
awesome.
