Summer, Summer, Summer

Wow a week of summer has already flown by. The major event for me this week was hosting my book club. I actually had the time and motivation to do projects that have been bothering me for MONTHS! Gabby broke the glass in our fireplace and the glass company is out of business. We haven't quite figured out what to do with that problem yet, plus it's money we don't want to spend. Scott had to insulate it so we didn't freeze to death over the winter. I spray painted it with flame resistant spray so it looks a little better. This will have to do for now. I also did touch up paint on my baseboards and doors plus the walls. That has been a job I've put off for the longest time. I'm so happy to be done with that!

The kids major event has been swim lessons. Piper had a swimming pool birthday party and she's definitely getting better at swimming. I think this is the year Gabby will master swimming as well. She is so ready to be done with swim floaties. 

I'm still trying to figure out summer jobs and routines. Gabby cooks breakfast everyday and Corbin does the dishes. It's glorious! Gabby even made breakfast burritos the other day and they were delicious. 

We went to dinner at The Habit last night. Yum. I think we are headed to a park downtown today. I am so excited it is summertime! I was definitely feeling burned out. I am also getting up 30 minutes later in the morning for my VIPKID classes. Yay! 

Oh the other exciting event happening is my friend and neighbor Rachel is on vacation and she hired Corbin to take care of her chickens and cat while they are gone. The kids are fighting over who gets to do what. Between feeding the chickens and swim lessons we are set for this coming week.

Book club, also this is where I spend most of my time in the summer. I love hanging out on the couch back here!

Piper is terrible at riding her bike. I have a goal of trying to work with her on this more. 

Gabby got a sewing kit from her uncle Rustin and Corbin actually wanted to sew a '"sew buddy" (as Gabby calls them) yesterday too. We got interrupted and never finished but I thought it was cute that Corbin wanted to make one. (Like I said, I live on that couch, best purchase ever)!
