Oh No, More Driving
I have to say I’m a bit disappointed in myself… I have been trying really hard to drive less, and this past week I’ve completely blown it. My car is still down, but somehow I have managed to drive somewhere every single day of the week. I’ll be driving this morning and this evening too… I still can’t believe seven days of trips here and there. Oh well, I’ll try harder next week.
Dylan and Thade have wanted to get out more and go for a few walks, but it has been dangerously hot. I know that Thade really looks forward to our walks (that is him on the playground at Church) but until the weather is a bit cooler, it looks like we’ll have to drive.
What about you… Do you find yourself driving more when the weather is warmer?

Today is one of those days, the kiddos are going stir crazy indoors, and it is just too hot to be outside today. There are plenty of things that I need to be doing (grocery store), but nothing that I really want to be doing (grocery shopping). We are going to see the heat index up around 105 today, and on Monday it is going to be 101! That is just the regular temp, I have no idea what the heat index will be on Monday, but I bet it is going to be hot.
I’m racking my brain trying to come up with (quiet) indoor activities that will keep the kiddos entertained, off the couch, but keeping cool at the same time. We’ll see how it goes today.
I hope that everyone is having a nice weekend, and keeping cool.

Today is Thade’s final day at VBS, and he is a little sad that his fun week at VBS is already over. He has been asking what are we going to be doing next week. I have him signed up for another VBS, and I’ll be volunteering in either the Toddler Crafts or the Nursery, and bringing cookies too. I’m bringing Dylan along too. I think it is going to be a lot of fun for all of us, and I know that Thade is already looking forward to the next VBS.
Since I only have one kiddo to chase after this morning, I’m going to run over the the Car Wash and detail my hubby’s car. It really needs to be done, and I thought it would be a nice surprise for him. It is still cool in the morning, so I think I can get the task accomplished. I just hope Dylan doesn’t mind the sound of the vacuum…
Yesterday we were planning on going to lunch, but we decided to head home and I made super tasty quesadillas. We might go out for lunch today, it would be nice, and I won’t have to heat up the kitchen. I’ll probably swing by McDonald’s and grab a Happy Meal for Thade, he has done a great job at VBS this week!
It is also county fair time this weekend, and we might go and check out the rides. It is so hot by midday, and the boy’s have switched to an 8:00 p.m. bedtime, so that doesn’t leave too much time in the evening to get out and ride the rides. We’ll see if we make it, it is just too hot for Dylan.
Do you have big weekend plans, and a busy Friday to get through.

Well it is just a handful, but we will get some veggies out of the garden. I was so happy to see the Green Beans, and I have a few more that are almost ready to be picked. I’m planning on making a batch of New Potatoes with Green beans and bacon out of the home-grown veggies.
Sadly my zucchini didn’t make it, but I still have a few more blossoms, so maybe we’ll get one or two. This organic gardener is hoping for the best!
