1. Mornings at the bus stop
I know that this made the list last year because spending these few extra minutes just talking and playing with the boys makes my soul feel happy. It is a great way to start the morning. The past few days it has been hot and muggy BUT we still have a great time walking goofing off.
2. Daycare is working out great
The first few days this week were rough at daycare. ROUGH. I decided to bring the girls some Starbucks, Jack brought Moo and I think that we finally found a sweet spot. Ever since that day -- he has been doing great. He still protests when I drop him off but it is short lived and he quits before I even reach the front door.

Right now I don't have many goals -- and those that I have rarely get met. BUT I do have food goals. For the past two weeks we have planned out meals and stuck to our grocery list. We haven't made repeated trips to the grocery, we don't have any wasted food and it is easy to prepare dinner at night. **I think- I think it's easy to prepare dinner at night but I am not 100% sure because Mike prepares dinner at night**
Last night when I came home from work he said, "How does it feel to be a man?" I questioned him further and he said, "Well every night when you come home from work you sit down on the couch and dinner is already prepared for you. And tonight you opened a beer. You are like a man." It made me laugh out loud but then I quickly stood up and offered to help. There was nothing for me to do. He had it all done. He is the best.
At the last minute I was able to get both boys into gymnastics this week. Cameron does not want to do soccer so he is trying out gymnastics and of course Owen wants to try EVERYTHING so he started too! I was trying to wait to see what night Owen had soccer practice but I soon found out that all gyms started this week. I made a call at 1pm and they were in class at 4. They both loved class. Per usual, Owen is thriving and wanted to show off his skills all evening. Grateful that they both had fun and are stoked.
Man oh man did this kid figure out that he had a voice. The loud type of voice that screams, persists and wants what he wants. The saving grace right now is that he is absolutely obsessed with his brothers. Obsessed. They usually keep him at bay and try to keep lego man heads out of his mouth. He started to love baths again and cries at the bathroom door so that he can go in. He wants to be 12. He wears us out and also makes our whole, entire family incredible happy. He is the crazy kind of wonderful.
6. Dairy Queen type of night
We were done with dinner by 530 last night and to be honest I had no interest playing outside in the heat and coming face to face with all of my weed beds. We decided to pack the boys in the car and head to Dairy Queen. It was amazing. Surprisingly Owen didn't finish his cone but the rest of us MEALED.
