The Lazy, Hazy, Days of Summer




It's hard to believe another week of our summer has gone already. I am happy to say we are finally getting some sleep around here. Kyleigh decided not to sleep more than 1-2 hour stretches at night for over a week, needless to say, both Mark and I were dragging because we were taking turns getting up with her.

On Tuesday we met the Padilla's at Safety town and let the kids ride their bikes. They always think it's a cool place to go.

Wednesday we had a wiener roast in our backyard. We had been promising the kids one and what better night than when it's only about 65 outside.

Thursday we were supposed to meet some friends at a local pool but it was too cool to enjoy swimming so they came over here for supper and a visit. The kids went behind the dam to play in the little creek that runs back there and got soaking wet. All in fun.

On Friday we went to the fireworks in Wyoming. We had a great spot where we could see all of the fireworks. It was a nice cool evening and we enjoyed the fireworks, except for Kyra. She loved the fireworks but didn't like the loud noise that comes with them. Kyra doesn't like loud noises but as long as she knows something is going to be loud she is OK with it.

Speaking of Kyra. Her quirk lately has been to call us King and Queen and to refer to herself and siblings as Prince and Princess. It is so cute, Mark will say I love you and she corrects him and says no King loves me. She will ask if the Queen needs any help and inform us that Princess Kyra would like some juice.

Yesterday we got our second crop of spinach and peas planted in the garden. Mark has been busy mole hunting again, so far he's gotten 5 this year. We are having some acquaintances from Florida over for supper tonight. We met them 7 years ago on our honeymoon in Maine and they are up visiting relatives nearby this week.

This is the Queen reporting and we hope you all had a fun and safe holiday weekend!
