Welcome to the 'cat' days of summer. OK - everyone knows that they aren't the 'cat days' - but since we don't have a dog and these two (Mr. Bundles & Sergent Tibbs) seem to be taking on the role pretty - well - we are going to call them 'cat days'. Seriously - it was one beautiful day in Minnesota. We had help yesterday - so the adults in the house planted flowers (that came from ND - and had been in washtubs and misc containers and got them into their final resting spots - huge relief for Karen. One of the elements of feeling fully settled after a move.
As previously mentioned, the weather was great - the pressure to get stuff done was low and we just had a great day. It began with homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We had church at home today - we read about Jesus calming the storm. We also prayed for our upcoming school year and two other people who are close to us that were injured in the past few days - that they would get better soon!
The water park was open for a while this afternoon - with David, Katie and Emie taking full advantage. Annie is somewhat of a landlubber - so she used the kittie pool - aka bucket as her pool and had a great time.
While all this was going on - naughty monkey - AKA David began the climb up the pantry shelves - ins search of gum. David is about 90% potty trained - but the final deal is that when he goes #2 - he gets gum. He LOVES gum. Note by his hand on the 4th shelf - he has reached the gum.
David also cruised around in his jeep - pulling Sam and his sisters - which is very funny to watch. For a 3 year old - he is actually a pretty good driver.
Supper was chicken on the grill and AYKE (all you can eat) sweet corn - shucking courtesy of Katie & Emie.
The day ended - we fired up our '34 Ford (another story and post sometime) and took it down to Cup and Cone - home of the 37 cent kiddie cone - and a White Bear Lake tradition. This happened after 7 - which is girls bedtime - so the boys went and brought mom back a treat.
As I said before - it was a nearly perfect summer day.
Now - thinking about back to work and enjoying the last to weeks before school starts.
