Ok, ok, I know. I have been down this road before. What can I say? I'm a fickle, fickle girl. Nevertheless, I have decided to try and commit more time to writing and have convinced myself that I can keep up this blog, at least until the next latest and greatest thing comes about. Mostly, I don't want to simply fire up a schwack of pictures on Facebook anymore. Those that care need the story too. :)
So. What is new? We are in the midst of a complete construction/disaster zone after the great flood of two weeks ago. Since then, we have new floors in the bathroom and laundry room, new walls all over, new paint, new doors and soon we will have the carpeting in. There is light at the end of the tunnel! I have been fairly grumpy about all the clutter, dust and random workers in our house but I am excited at the prospect of a new basement. It really needed a lot of work. The kids have taken it all in stride, but we have been fairly cooped up these past two weeks. That has resulted in a lot of fighting, time-outs and grouchy time for all of us. :)
I have been working on a new blanket for Mia (see above). I found a lovely "flower" granny square pattern that is very easy and pretty. I'm only a quarter of the way through and hoping that I don't lose interest soon. You know I love to project jump. :)
In other news, Craig and Mia have started a new season of soccer, with Craig head coaching for the first time. I think they are both enjoying it, despite the crazy hot weather. Jack has really taken off with swimming. He now swims a distance on his own, jumps off the diving board and the poolside and his confidence is really high. He was so resistant before, but it was like a switch went off and he decided he actually could swim. He starts lessons in September. Burton is BUSY, talking and running and getting into everything. He keeps me hoppin'.
Ok, on that note, I better get back to parenting. I promise to TRY and keep this up. Don't forget to check in here every now and again. :)
