Swurfer Sunday

This kid got a swurfer swing for Christmas and her dad made it possible for her to use is in the heated garage during the winter.

I even gave it a try. Shecklet #4 made sure I had a helmet on for safety!

Ship builders

Who needs Christmas presents when the boxes the gifts arrive in inspire you to build this?

Tomato tomato

We had a bunker crop of grape tomatoes this year. We couldn’t believe how many grew off of two plants that we never thought would even make it. I went out today and harvested the final batch, including green ones we hope will turn red.

City gathering

The day was perfect for attending our city’s “block party” where the kids could check out City Hall, all kinds of city vehicles, inspect the jail, and try on police gear, among other things.

Unexpected visit

One of my cousins called me this morning as he was driving to pick up a piece of equipment for his business. The equipment was in MN and he lives in SD. He said his route was going to take him by our house, so he was going to try to stop to say hi and give me a hug before heading back home. It was a long day on the road for him – I’m so grateful he stopped to say hello.

Intersession 2018

The big Shecklets are off of school this week (because we opted to not sign them up for intersession classes this year.) Today we had a hand appointment for Shecklet #3, went to the park (until three bus loads of kids showed up,) and then went to MOA to ride some rides and go to the American Girl store.
