A little of this and that

The last few days have been so.... ordinary. Ha!  Nothing special has happened.  No big milestones.  Just a plain ole week for us.  But I'll give you a recap and mostly because I enjoy looking back and seeing how we spent our days, because frankly I can't always remember. 

 

On Tuesday's Kagen has gymnastics from 11-12.  Next week is actually her last of the summer, then we have one week off and start back on Tuesdays 5:30-6:30pm.  I chose the later time so that Lex could watch her when he can.  She will also be moving up to a more advanced class and I am so excited about that.  Lately she seems a little bored in class so I'm thinking she needs a change. 

 One day after leaving class she told me thank you for letting her do this.  I'm so glad she enjoys gymnastics.  I was so hesitant at first, but she has so much fun!

 

If I'm getting ready, you better believe this kid is right behind me.

Ready to take sister to gymnastics!

 Before we went to gym I took my phone by the repair shop because as you can see from the picture above, the photos were bad!  He replaced the camera for me and now it's good as new.  *Little back story.  I washed my phone with our sheets one weekend.  SO dumb, I know.  I'm still not over it, can you tell?  The hard drive was salvageable so the repair shop put it in a new phone(with a crummy camera) Ha!*   Now I'm feeling complete again.  

 After gymnastics I picked up some makeup, where Kagen introduced herself to the cashier. "Hi.  I'm Kagen!  I did a cartwheel at gymnastics today. Watch this!"  Luckily,  I stopped her attempt of a cartwheel before she knocked everything down around her.  That girl.   Afterwards we met Lex at Chick-Fil-A for lunch. 

                              

The rest of the day was a blur.  And honestly I can only remember this part of it because I took a photo.  See?  Life isn't the same with a crummy camera.   They played so nice together while I cooked supper.   

Little fact about Kagenz: She has decided she doesn't like sleeping in jammies.
 So, when she got up Wednesday morning I told her to get dressed and this is how she showed up.      It's a little warm out, darlin'.

Other than that crazy blonde hair, the girls are so different.  Bugs don't scare Kalli, but terrify Kagen.  Loud noises make Kagen panic, where Kalli could care less.   Kalli is very girly whereas Kagen.... is not.  I think Kalli may be converting Kagen to her ways though.  Ha! 

Future little momma

I let her play Angry Birds while Kalli napped.  Why do children outgrow nap time?  Seriously.  I want nap time.

After supper we went to Lowes to price fencing.  Our neighbors are re-doing their fence.  So now ours looks even worse than it did before.  Ha!   We also had to buy a new battery for the lawn mower.  Which ended up being the wrong one. Figures!  

Up until a few years ago I had never pushed mowed.  Ever.  Then up until a few months ago I had never mowed on a riding mower.  I am now obsessed with mowing.  No idea why.  It's kind of like vacuuming.  I like the way the carpet looks afterwards.  Don't judge.

 

 

Our 10 Year wedding anniversary is next month.  I can't believe it!  10 Years!  We were just babies when we got hitched.  I would die if the girls ever said they wanted to get married at 20. Yikes!   But, I don't regret it one bit.  I love that man of mine.    

 We have been so back and forth on a location to celebrate.  We started out thinking Colorado, then Mexico, then Florida, then San Antiono.  And we finally decided on Lake Degray in Arkansas.  Only 3 1/2 hours away from my babies.  Who was I kidding thinking I could go to Mexico without them!  Really? 

 We decided on 3 nights away. Which is big.  We will probably leave late on day one and get home as early as possible the last day.  Ha! 

This resort looks so nice!  Lex's boss has been there and recommended it.  It may not be the beach or the mountains.  But it's a pretty good combo of water and tall hills!  I'll take it!  No passport needed. 

I booked our stay this morning.  We actually will not be going until November due to work and just lots going on the next few months.  The weather should be perfect then, so I'm not complaining!

 

 

 

 

I needed to work in our flowerbeds.  They looked so pitiful.  I had to get something from our storage building and Kagen spotted the bounce house.  So we hooked it up and they jumped while I cleaned our the flower beds.   You can bet I will be putting news paper down next spring.   But now we have a weed free flower bed.  For now.

Can you tell we haven't mowed?  HA!!!!

We ran to have lunch with Lex and now we are back home and the girls are napping. 

I plan to do a link up post tomorrow that I'm looking forward to!!! 

Happy Thursday!
