John had a work dinner tonight, so it was breakfast for dinner (or, in Christian's case, syrup with some pancakes). I always think it's the easy way out, but my kids love it! They thought it was a super special treat.

This is what I do.
I take pictures. This blog is a way for me to capture the every day moments in this season of my life before it becomes too foggy in my memory for me to recall. This is a tangible reminder of what my life was like, what we did, what was important to us, how we spent our days. These are the every day matters, because to me, every day matters.

For some reason, Avery screamed through her nap today. This Sea Salt Chocolate was just the thing to get me through the day.

The kids and I made cookies today while Avery napped. It's so hot these days, there's not much else to do besides bake. But they were yummy, and we shared them with the guys working so hard to get our porch done.

The view from the backyard on Day Four of our screened porch addition. It's looking so cozy, isn't it? (You can see in this photo all the windows that still need to be painted.) They say they will be done in a week to week and a half. I can't wait to use it!

We enjoyed some pool time at Mimi's before dinner (at Mimi's also) this evening. The kids are actually all enjoying the water, as long as we are all IN the water. There's no lounging poolside here - you must be involved in the swimming!

I know what you're thinking. That you'll be steering clear of the plasma cars the next time you find yourselves at our home.
I did sanitize the plasma car.
I came downstairs this morning (John and Christian were getting haircuts) to Ansley yelling "Mom! Avery was leaking and big time poopy!" I'm thinking oh, no, I better hurry, but then Ansley says "But don't worry, I changed her!" Awesome, I think. "But" she says "I couldn't get her to be still long enough to put her diaper on."
So this is what I find when I come down.

Ansley's new nightgowns finally arrived, much to Ansley's excitement. Finally, after several years, I am sure, Ansley is back into nightgowns. I think it looks so cute on her! And now we can finally ditch the size 5!

This is what happens when there is construction going on right outside our door. The Boy (and, honestly, The Girl, and me!) are fascinated watching all that is going on. We are all very excited for our screened in porch to be finished, and it is really interesting to watch it all happen!

Oh curly hair in the morning! I'm not sure that this picture does it justice, but it was ALL OVER THE PLACE. And, yes, she's quite obsessed with markers these days.

This is the view from our back door, looking out onto our back deck and backyard. This will be the last evening it looks like this. Tomorrow the work starts to cover it and screen it in. I am SO excited! We have talked about doing this for years, and we are so excited to finally be getting it done. I can't wait to sit out here and relax, eat dinner and play, watch the kids and hang out. I think we will use it all the time. Our contractor says it will be done in two weeks, but I have learned lately that contractors never deliver on what they say, so I have a month in my head. We will see, but either way, I can't wait to see the work start!
