summer days (at home).

we have been gone so often this summer, that i feel the need to only blog twice a month & have it be a giant catch up of what we have been doing.
but now we are home.
so there are just pictures of everyday life.
not a giant catch up.
i'm slowly getting into the swing of things, just at home.
i'm more of a homebody than not, so it has been enjoyable to feel "caught up" & not rushed.
we even have time to go on walks to the park.
or bake cookies.

speaking of...
yesterday, we needed cookies.
we always need cookies.
so i whipped up a batch.
i remember looking at the clock & the timer
a one minute difference on when we needed to leave the house (high school missions trip report at church) & when the last batch of cookies would be done.
that's the last time i thought of those cookies.
UNTIL, we were a mile down the road.
ummm, shawn....i'm pretty sure i just left the cookies in the oven.
turn around.
yes.
burnt.

(this is a story my mother would tell & i would think how? how could you forget something like that? well i know now. i don't know.)
going into trader joes. had to have goggles cause it was sunny.

rain! it was the first rain storm we have gotten to watch all summer.

You had a lot of fun things going on even if you were staying home. The picture with the marshmallow snack was a litle hard to figure out. 2 hands a leg? Until I got to the breakfast one which was 3 in 1.Went back and figured it out. ha. The picture of the popsicles did not look like a 2 yr old, more like 5,with his hand in his pocket etc. Sure enjoyed seeing your daily life.

I agree with mom...b looks like he's 5.

My favorite line, "I know now. I don't know."

I meant to comment on your nails the other night. I thought they were fake they looked so good.

I think baby Jed is rubbing off on Bentley with the thumb sucking.

He prefers the old-fashioned toys...you don't say! Do you know how many things you and Shawn accumulated from grandpa and grandma's garage? One million. He is your son.
