nonsense

1. Grandma Pat came to visit

This past weekend Pat was in town for a few days.  Obviously it was great to catch up.  

Hiking in the morning at Ft Ben.


This is the only picture that I got of us going bowling on Saturday morning with my parents.  Yup. Lots of great pictures.

 Sorry that I have nothing else insightful to say about the trip.  We both feel extremely grateful the Pat came into town.  We ate great food and had lots of fun.  We don't have another trip planned but looking forward to seeing her again soon.


2.  Water bottles
I drink almost all of my water out of a water bottle.  Not the type that is disposable -- but the reusable, sport ones.  For some reason right now -- having my water bottle by my side makes me happy.


3. All of the boys
Growing, changing and growing up.  It makes me sad and want to hold onto their little hands super tight BUT it also makes me happy and proud to be their mom.


Cub scout books & Lexia.  Serious, studious boys.

Afternoon reading seems to take up lots of time in our house.  Each boy reads for 20 minutes and I have learned that an adult needs to sit with them to help at times. 

 4.  Adulting
Clearly being an adult is hard for me at times.  I would honestly prefer to just play.  This past week I prepped food and made desserts and TRIED to be an adult.  It was Jaclyn's bday this week so I prepared her the cookie cake on the right and last March she prepared the cookie cake on the left for me. Yup.  I am succeeding at this stuff.

5. ADP might possibly be finished

Setting up ADP for our employees has started to give me a heart attack.  This whole owning your own business stuff is STRESSFUL.  Grateful that I am almost done with setting ADP up and grateful the my husband usually carries all of this stress.  Wish I could take some off his back but clearly he is much better at this business stuff!
