That Summer Feeling

Scott was finally off work this weekend. I didn’t travel. It was so wonderful to have a weekend together, and we soaked up every moment.
Friday, we went to run some errands and just enjoy some time together as a family.

The girls had a pretend party at Michael’s. We always stop in and pick up cheap stickers if we are near one. I miss living by all of the craft stores. We also found a sprinkler that I have been wanting to buy on clearance at Target! Woohoo!
Saturday morning, I ran to the grocery store since it is grocery week. I always make one big trip every two weeks to pick up most of what we will need for our meals. Then, run in for bread/milk/eggs when we run out of those… and the things that I forgot to put on the list. Does anyone else do that? If we had a bigger fridge, I would make sure that I had enough milk and eggs to get us all the way through so there would be less impulse purchases from the clearance bins.

I took my BFF from a local coffee shop with me. When I got home, we got out the sprinkler and the girls played in it for a long time.

We spent the rest of the day in the garden. We finished planting carrots and green beans. I also noticed that the cantaloupe that I threw out was growing. I cut into one and it was no good, so I threw it outside. I put some dirt over it and wondered if it would grow. I need to separate the plants that are growing so that I can get more vines. I just have to figure out where I can have my yard taken over more. haha! Most of what we have planted is growing really well, and I can’t wait to see how it goes. I thinned out some of the plants that have grown. That is always the hard part. I hate pulling out a plant as though it doesn’t matter, but I know that they need space to thrive.
Monday is here again. Womp. Womp. But, I did buy some Kodiak pancake mix from Kroger’s Mega Sale. It has 14 grams of protein per serving, which is really amazing for a pancake. (You can make waffles also.) I made some dark chocolate pancakes for the girls, and we have started on a good note.
There are some fun things coming up this week, and this weekend! It’s going to be a good week.
