Oh what do we do in the summertime?

1.  We work on giant projects

Well, we finished painting the downstairs.  It took many days and was exhausting but I am so thrilled with the results. We still have a few finishing touches and we will be staining the mantle, but hopefully you can get some sort of an idea of how it looks.

Preparing for the painting

Like the BYU wall?

2.  We grow GIGANTIC zucchini and then must search for yummy recipes

3. We bathe guinea pigs.  It’s not as easy as it looks!

4.  We watch movies.  We watched Red Tails and 47 Ronin this weekend and enjoyed them both.

5.  Other stuff:  Tyler went on a fun scout over night camp out where they got to explore the Makoqueta Caves the next day.  Tyler also tested and got his school license which means he can now drive himself to and from school only all by himself.  Ahhh relief for us!

This week will focus on small projects for work.  Most of the home has been redone and organized.  I finished about half of my Christmas shopping, been working on meal plans through December, made chore charts for the fall, etc.  I just HAVE to make life easier next year!
