Friday Five

The Olympics started today, so we spent this evening watching the Opening Ceremony. Let's just say that this experience has changed from what I remember. Jason spent the whole time trying to tell me what he thought was happening in each of the different scenes of the show (which...let's just say the boys has a vivid imagination), while Shawn asked repeatedly for an hour and a half if it was over. Jack was the smart one and decided to split and play in his room. Lol.

I am not deterred, though. I shall pass on my love of the Olympics if it kills them...er, me.

It's crazy to think that the boys start school in 13 days. It seems like this summer just sort of disappeared. We didn't get to do as much as we would have liked. It seems like one or more of us have been sick for pretty much the entire time. If we can finally shake this crud, we will definitely try to do a few last hurrahs before school starts, but it is looking a little iffy at this point.

With the sick and the backyard off limits for the time being, I think it is safe to say that we are all going a little stir crazy. Isaac took the boys to Target this afternoon, and you would have thought that it was a trip to Disneyland. LOL

The backyard work is nearing the end. The concrete looks really good. Tomorrow they'll be working on making the caps for the garden wall. I suspect they'll be done by mid week. Yay! I can't wait!

I finally pulled off the drawer locks on Jack's dresser this week. (I've been meaning to for a long while now, but had never got around to it.) So of course, Jack has become somewhat of a fashionista. He has decided that each day he needs to wear every outfit he has. It is kind of comical, but I sure hope this obsession fades soon. All this laundry stinks.
