Day 233/365

 

We were struck with hand, foot, mouth at our house. This was one of our days in isolation, Josh was working at the table, while the kids and I tried to stay busy.

Day 234/365

A glass of wine was needed after a long stressful day running Elsie’s preschool. To be honest, only a third of the glass was drunk. It is hard getting back into it after having a baby.

Day 235/365

Our last outing of the summer with our cousins was a trip to the zoo. I thought this picture Kim captured of the kids was perfect. The littles relaxing while Finley pulls them.

Day 236/365

Josh’s work has a suite for the Sounder’s matches. He was able to get us suite passes to enjoy a game with his work. It was the best way to watch a sporting event with little kids. First there was food (the way to my heart), comfortable seats, personal bathroom, and the kids couldn’t escape. We had a blast and I hope we didn’t bug his coworkers too much.

Day 237/365

Elsie has a fascination with trains, so we thought it would be fitting to take her on a “train” ride. The closest thing we could come up with was a ride on the light rail into the city. She absolutely loved it. We went into the city, walked the whole thing, grabbed lunch, and came home before nap. She has talked about the train ever since.

Day 238/365

A picture of our “after”. This garden was extremely neglected all season and needed a fresh start. Sadly, it still looks like this week later, but I promise I will find time to finish it up.

Day 239/365

Elsie, Abbott, and I visited Morgan at Gregory Heights. Elsie felt it was her job to get the class ready for the first day of school. She checked over the class list, taped things into “place”, and created Morgan’s seating chart for the first day of school. I think she might have a little teacher in her blood.
