Posting this makes me feel like we are having that kind of summer that all parents dream of…but don't be fooled, amongst the fun and goodness of each day, there is bickering, fighting, punching, and annoyances. And that's just the half of it.
Creativity has been the name of the game around here the last few very rainy days. Analiese has been busy making all kinds of" real life hacks". She gets them from a website. She made a stress ball out of rice and layered balloons, a jump rope out of recycled plastic bags, a soccer field out of a box lid and I don't know what else, tap shoes using coins, and some crystals out of Epson salt and some other items. She and Alexa also made a cake for our life group tonight… They thought it would be great to celebrate Alexa's birthday which is next week. I too, have exercised some creative muscle. In between going to Target to return a watch with Colin, helping Brandon get an amp for his electric guitar, hunkering down in the closet with bike helmets on when the storm was extra threatening (yes we really did this), and managing the household, I got a few projects done that I have wanted to do for a while.
