Well, here we are. It’s Friday night and I’m feeling the need to rewind. Last weekend, Saturday the kids had swim class and are doing excellent. Afterwards we went grocery shopping and then headed back into town. I was hoping to have just enough time to get Ajax a hair cut before heading to Clarkston for a graduation party. As we pulled into town, however, Grand River was closed due to the parade. I totally forgot about the parade. It was the conclusion of our small towns big TO DO, the Red Cedar Jubilee. I must admit it is quite nice. The kids completed a local scavenger hunt and we also took them to their first Circus which came to town (complete with lions, tigers and small toy dogs that jumped through hoops… they loved it). By the time we got through the parade, the barber shop was closed and we had to rush to the party. The kids had a blast at my cousin, Jess’s graduation party (which was complete with a bounce house). That pretty much concluded our Saturday.
On Sunday, we worked outside to finish clearing everything from the front of the house (down to dirt), then broke down our planter boxes, moved a ton of dirt, and at that point had to go in due to rain. Inside we did house work and general Sunday chores.
Over the week I found some bricks for the front of our house and they’ll be delivered next week. I’m beyond excited, but have no idea which plants to actually put into said landscaping. We also had a cement guy come out to give us a quote for the shed pad which we hope to have done in early July. Overall, our outside projects are shaping up nicely.
The kids spent 3 days at summer camp this week, which included a trip to Potter Park Zoo. They had a great time and really enjoyed seeing their school friends and making new friends. It seems a good combination of having a home sitter and camp. Husker is growing so fast. He’s now up to 30 lbs at almost 5 months. He’s very well behaved, is almost house broken, loves everyone and wants to sleep on the couch all the time.
For some reason my photos aren’t uploading properly. Here’s what I got –
