Friday - shew. The last few weeks have been "out of the ordinary" - and I like my routine. ::snort::
Deja and her kids came and helped with produce co-op today. She's a champ. She'd offered to come help before I even realized I'd NEED help with Jamin and Jared both gone. Thank you, Deja.
Michael spent the day doing odd jobs around the house.
I had put BBQ in the crock pot this a.m. I made 2 more loaves of bread and 18 hamburger buns for dinner. The funny thing is that the boys got home right as the buns were coming out of the oven. Jared sniffed and said it smelled so good - fresh baking bread. I couldn't have planned that better.
Arielle prepared sidewalk art for the homecoming
Great to have them home - and they pitched right in and cleaned up dinner LOL
We've been catching up. They had a GREAT time at camp. I heartily recommend the camp. Jared was surprised that there was a boy from Elmendorf AFB at the camp- hows that? I guess we could always fly the boys back to this one in future years. They both want to go again. If you sign up the last day of camp you receive a discount...but the military lifestyle being what it is - we opted not to sign up today. LOL
Sis:
ReplyDeleteMy, my, my do they ever look like they had fun. A bit us sun too.
Love seeing all our good looking G'Kids.
Must say we agree about the fresh bread smell.
l/p
They look older somehow after their week away!
ReplyDeleteThe fresh baked bread and sidewalk art sound like a wonderful welcome home.
They DO look older - don't they?
ReplyDeleteThe only complaint I've heard at all from the boys is about food. And that was from Jared who resist my healthy changes....LOL Jamin didn't complain but I found him up this a.m. eating 1/2 a cantaloupe, peach, grapes, 2 slices of fresh baked bread, cheese.... LOL
Glad the boys had a great time! Also, there is nothing better than fresh baked bread for you when you arrive home from just about anywhere! Hmmmmmm I can smell it now! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad they enjoyed it and something in that picture just dawned on me. I'm SO glad your dds are able to be together now that they're on their own and I'm glad these 2 are able to do these things together. I'm sure it's a great comfort to all of them to have each other. I really wish now that our kids weren't spread out so far.... I think that would have made it easier on our oldest to be homeschooled had there been another sibling closer in age....I don't want to think about our 4 yo being the only one home for a good 6 years after the next oldest would leave....
ReplyDeleteWelcome home guys! I'm sure that it was an amazing experience.
ReplyDeletegood grief. all the kids are looking older. Jared is as tall as Jamin! holy Cows! -Bre
ReplyDeleteYep - and Hon, wait until you see how tall Arielle is getting...she's going to pass YOU up soon. ::snort::
