Randomness

Randomness

The weeks seem to fly by, though the days are sometimes sticky-slow.

Here are some fun memories for future years.

And have I mentioned that sometimes I think this blog is for my future self when my memory is completely gone? Also, of course, to make our children think they had the perfect childhood.

“Look at how happy you look in all these pictures!”

Here we go:

On Fridays we generally have a family movie night. Last week we had a movie party with people from church, so we had an outdoor showing of Raiders Of The Lost Ark on Saturday night.

But, the week before that, we watched Ze’ Frank videos together. Ze’ is foul-mouthed and inappropriate, but we learn tons of animal facts, and laugh like crazy. That seems like a fair exchange.

Cackles.
Cackles.

The path to our front door had become a jungle. The UPS delivery people had started dropping packages by the garage rather than running the gauntlet of butterflies and buzzy bees to the front.

Last weekend I took back our sidewalk:

Before:

Who plants spiky holly bushes next to a SIDEWALK?!

And here we have a sidewalk.

While we waited for the tires to be rotated, the children had to find a way to amuse themselves:

Caged.

We recently realized our oven exhaust fan is aghast at our dirty kitchen floor:

Shocked, perpetually shocked.

Reading together.

And good times at the neighborhood pool in the waning days of summer:
