It's fun to have the boys around, but it's hard. You parents who have your kids home all summer can feel my pain, right? I have a lot going on, and need time during the day to get some quality sewing time in. The boys want to DO and GO and my children have always struggled finding things to do in their own home full of stuff.
Last week was our first full week off. I won't lie, Monday and Tuesday were tough, but we finally started to get into a bit of a groove, faster than we normally would, and for that I am grateful. I think part of it is that Elliott still has to get up and get dressed to go to band practice Tuesday - Friday. That helps get part of the house rolling. It's those days where at 11 am, no but me is dressed or has peeled their warm bodies off of a couch that are a little tougher to fight our way through.
The big boys played with friends. Elliott tried, and mostly on his own, baked cookies. I introduced the boys to "Jumangi" on Netflix and it both terrified and intrigued them and they (all three) didn't move a muscle the entire movie. We went on our yearly trip to the aquarium. We attended our second University of Utah basketball game. We lunched at Costco and went to Lowes to buy a new Nest thermostat when ours bit the dust.
Pretty successful week, right?
