Thursday Randoms

I feel like our board is fizzling out and that makes me sad. I guess I'm really noticing because I am off for summer break and around more.

It's rainy today so I'm spending the day doing housework. Ruby is vegging out on the ipad. I'll have to get her off of that soon.

What's everyone up to?

Abby is grounded because I forced her and Caleb outside to play and she kept trying to come in and flat out ignored me when I sent her out again.

Oh, the joys of summer.

I've never spoken much, but I'll make an effort! This board is definitely dying. Common folks!

Took H swimming this morning and now I need to start packing. We leave tomorrow at noon for KS.

A is still camping and the house is so quiet with just H. We also took him to get dinner at his favorite Indian place last night because A doesn't like it, and he did so good. He behaves much better when A isn't around.

I'm still around. We just got back from a roadtrip from PA-->Iowa -->PA with my parents and neither boy slept well in the hotels or in the car, so they're all out of sorts. I enforced nap time for both, and B swore up and down he wasn't tired and couldn't sleep. I went to check on him 10 minutes later, and he was snoring.

Took Ari to legoland this morning, it was a lot of fun! It was also stupid expensive so we won't be going again for a long time but at least we had a fun experience.

We are going to check out one of their discovery centers this weekend, so it's good to know they are fun! We're also taking the ILs so it's going to be almost $100 for all of us...the kids better like it lol

Ours is small but we still spent 2 hrs there. We bought the tickets online so it was a bit cheaper. It is perfect for the 5 to 7 age range.

Olivia keeps having reactions to what we assume are bug bites. She got one on her foot which has swelled to the size of her fist. My poor girl. I'm sure it hurts a lot and she's dramatic about pain anyway. We were at the zoo today and when she wasn't in the stroller, she hopped around on one foot. I feel bad that she didn't seem herself and didn't have as much fun. I wish we knew what was going on.

bean47 - poor little bug. I hope you guys can figure out what's causing it!

My property tax protest seems to be taking forever. I really don't want to go fight it at the courthouse, but I want to know what their counter is before I decide.

Yesterday's leak makes me want to laugh/sob at their appraisal. (My MIL left the outside water hose on and the water somehow made its way into the house.)

I'm making presents for Daniel's teachers. I obsessed for a long time today which colours to use, drove 3 of my friends crazy with pictures of different colour combo choices. Finally decided, ironed on 3/5 and realized that the inside of the bags melted and fused together so I completely ruined them 😭


Here are my ruined bags.

If you are going to the one in KC there is currently a 30% off Groupon. I think you can buy it through tomorrow.

We are, thank you!

This is so accurate. I saw it yesterday on FB, and showed H. It's correct, right down to the popsicle!
