Donut Wednesday

Someone woke up on the wrong side of his own bed.  When this happens it effects Mommy too.  Sigh. We tried to have a quiet time at the donut shop, unfortunatly the kids in the background were allowed to run around and scream, run on top of the tables, and cause complete mayhem.  Oh well.

Pout Face.

Having a hard time choosing....

It smelled delicious.

(Mommy's Coffee.)

Oliver needed time to get out of his poutiness, eventually he improved.  He is off with his Daddy and Scout now.  Mommy will see Oliver on Sunday at 2:00 for a fun Disneyland trip!  Oliver has another camping trip coming up with his Daddy.  Lucky kid!!!  He has had a pretty amazing, full summer!  

Tuesday

Today we rested at home.  Kind of.  Oliver had a ton of projects he was working on and so did Mommy.

We went to go check out one of them in 

the morning.  Otto our neighbor is

making the Little Free Library for 

our little garden area out front.

He has been working hard!

We are going to encourage the smaller

neighbor kids to help plant a garden and

donate some books.

Otto is also making a bench that Oliver designed!

So, so cool!

He is going to do a few more things to 

it and we are going to have a planting/cementing

day on August 16th!  (If you want to come

we'd love to have you help!)  Planting, donating

books, telling the little people what to do....

Mommy asked Oliver to help with a tree that was

in the way of where we will be planting pumpkins.

He gladly helped.  Yay!

Later Mommy talked to Otto.  When we went up

in the morning he was probably sleeping.  Can't believe

he is in high school now and his sister, Maggie is 

in middle school!  

We had a nice day at home.

These kids have a lot of fun too!  

                                                                                                                                                                         

Catch-Up

We had a busy fun day of playing catch-up!

Prize Catch-Up:

We played around with a prize we saved up for

at Indiana Beach!

Yummy slushes for only 1500 points!  Two summers

worth of saving tickets!

Oliver played catch-up with his Daddy:

This was from Sunday afternoon.  His Daddy

wanted to say Hello and show Oliver something

in the back of his truck....

A bobcat he had to kill.  It was trapped in someone's 

chicken coop in Fallbrook.  It killed all 30 

chickens inside.  Sad for the bobcat.  The chicken

coop owner will be fined if it happens again because

the chicken coop wasn't secured properly.  

Oliver got to catch-up more this morning with his Daddy while

Mommy caught up on some strength training and

homework reading.  

 Swim Catch-Up

We had an appointment in Encinitas

so we made the most of it.  Library 

reporting and swimming.  We checked

out what Johnny was doing....

(Hmmm...he had a ton of grass on his floor.

Carry on Johnny.)

Mommy had a running rest day.  

Home Catch-Up

Oliver listening to a book on tape in 

his messy room night.

He read some silly songs tonight too.

We haven't needed to catch-up on

reading, he has been practicing a lot!!!

Popcorn Travels

We are home and we had popcorn on our mind all day.  (Seriously.)

Chicago popcorn store.

Thanks for the ride Grammie! 

Popcorn.

Traveling makes us a little nutty.  Oliver

was an amazing travel companion today.

Off to Indiana

Mommy and Oliver are off to Indiana this morning.  We hope to have a fun, relaxing, we hear very muddy week at Fountain Park!  Mommy is glad that she can continue this simple tradition with Oliver.  The memories created at Fountain Park are unforgettable.  Mommy won't be writing any posts while we are on vacation and she plans on not creating many new ones when we get back.  She still would like to finish up this from last year.  (She has had a pretty busy year.)

Enjoy!  We sure will be enjoying our vacation together!

Donut Wednesday

We had a nice, kind of quiet Donut Wednesday.  

Oliver was off at 2:00 with Grady, he went to Noah's birthday party!  Fun!  Oliver is now with his Daddy.  Mommy will see Oliver tomorrow at 5:00 for some packing fun for our trip to Indiana!  

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)

Summer Reading

Summer reading continues.  We went to Mommy's school this morning to help at a reading day that Mommy helped plan.  A lot of students came and we think it was a pretty good turn out!  Remember to keep reading over summer break!  

A mural!  Mommy will get a complete picture

of how it turned out later!

We asked the public library to come!  The students

love the bookmobile!

Oliver was impressed too!  We had to get to our

post though!

Someone else came to visit!  Mommy is trying to

recruit her a a future classroom helper!  Mommy

doesn't think she'll have any problems.

Testing out our iPad reading of...

Cuteness!

After we went to report!

Oliver earned his museum passes today!

We found one of Mommy's summer

reading book recommendations being displayed.

She can only report on audio books or if

she is lucky a textbook that she has read in full.

We had a nice day!

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)
