Whirlwind of a weekend. It doesn't help that Abby wakes up at 6 am and doesn't stop for a nap. She gets really crotchety by about 2 pm... and things get interesting!
We pulled out our first potatoes this week. They are delicious! The rest of the garden is coming along fine too.
I took the early risers, AP and Abby to the Farmer's Market Sat. morning where they biked and skateboarded. Pretty sad when you are so early, the market hasn't even opened yet!
Then we went to a Rainforest animal program at the Warrenton Library. We saw a macaw, and African parrot, a tarantula, an iguana and a ball python. The kids enjoyed it and got to spin the prize wheel... we love the Summer Reading Program! It's a great way to kick-off the summer and we're all in a better mood this time of year.
I worked out while AP and Patrick worked on the soap box car. After a huge rain storm, we decided we had enough energy to move the kids rooms around. HA! What we thought would be a medium size project turned into a hellish, unending pain the the bottom kind of project you wonder why you ever started to begin with! We had to take apart bunk beds, move and reassemble them in another bedroom and switch all of the kids furniture and toys to accommodate the new set up. Why do they have so much stuff!? We've only had them six years! And the dust bunnies... and we're not even done. We still need to set our computer room up and rearrange a million more little things in the kids bedrooms... but the girls are now in a room together, which they both seem very excited about and our goal is that Abby will FINALLY stay in her own bed at night instead of joining us. She made it until 4 am last night before I heard the pitter patter of her little feet... she's been promised a "Pillow Pal" if she can fill up her star chart for staying in the "girl's" room. Margaret is thrilled to have her!AP just left for Forrestry Camp in Appomattox. Grandfather took him to a Soap Box clinic and they are driving to camp in his new truck. He was in great spirits and ready for the first big adventure of the summer.
