The Funniest Thing I Heard Today

I was in the next room when I heard Mirra start crying. When I found her I asked what was wrong. She wailed "Drew picked up the poop!"

Drew immediately piped up from the next room "I didn't eat poop, it was a chocolate chip."

We use chocolate chips as rewards for Mirra going on the potty. Apparently Drew found one that had escaped Mirra's grip. The thought of what was going on in Mirra's mind had me ending my day with a chuckle.

DIY

Before: our gray kitchen



After: a big thanks to Grammy & Papa for keeping the kids for a few days so we could complete this project!



I created this wall for displaying the kids' art.

The art wall clears some of the clutter off the fridge. Note, it does not clear the clutter off the floor;)

Summer Operating Hours

As soon as school ended for Drew we began attending sprint car races, Drew began racing his quarter midget, we visited Six Flags, and we frequently stay up to catch fireflies. Our routine quickly disappeared and we began staying up much later than we were used to. Thankfully we can sleep in a bit, but my favorite 9:00 a.m. kickboxing class has not seen me in a while.

With summer vacation half over we hope to start easing the kids back into a reasonable bedtime hour. Hopefully we can manage that without sacrificing too many summertime memory-making activities.
