Catching up + Menu

 

We have been busy.  Non-stop actually.

…and to think our July calendar looks just as packed!

 

This past weekend was alllllll about catching up, with laundry, friends and rest.  I think our go, go, go summer agenda/vacation finally caught up with us and it was nice to have a weekend to recoup.

 

 

Saturday I don’t really know what we did during the day…but I do know we met up with our friends at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse to celebrate Jill’s birthday.  E was excited his girl Kennedy was there, and then was excited to go back home with Gransie while Mike and I headed for some chill time with the grown ups (even though I ended up falling asleep during the movie we were all watching!).

 

 

Kennedy (16 mo) and Everett (17 mo)

E was not so sure about the fire!!!

 

Sunday was spent bird feeding, swinging, doing a marathon shopping trip to prepare for the Kiddie Top Chef camp I taught at our school’s summer camp this week, followed by a World Cup Finals marathon.  I don’t think E and Mike even left the house on Sunday – which is unheard of!

 

 

This week, which is now basically over, was busy, fun and chalked up to a success.  Have a great weekend!
