The Everyday Stuff

Just a few pics our daily life around here right now. Lots of swimming in a freezing cold pool. Kids are crazy. We follow up the cold swims with warm baths and hot chocolate.


Fishing is still a big thing around here. While I'm working I get lots of pictures of fish. I prefer when they are in the pictures.


Carson still wakes up everyday excited to go to school. It amazes me that he's okay with going even though Miles is staying home. He never questions it.


We've been trying to eat better around here. I usually plan the meals on Sunday for the following week and then we meal prep together. Since I've been working out after work, I am lucky enough to walk into the house with dinner on the table. Darrin is more than happy to cook as long as I write what we are having and try to do the marinating or chopping ahead of time. These chicken fajitas and brown rice were amazing.


Carson has TOTs (Teams of Tomorrow) every week at daycare. It's a basketball class that incorporates learning. They gave him a wristband a couple weeks ago and he loves it. We think it is the cutest thing ever that he wears it every week to class.


We've been on a card kick lately, but when I walked into the kitchen tonight they were working a puzzle. It was very easy and we finished it in record time. It was fun though.


They are starting to look more alike.


Carson is getting so tan and his hair is lightening up from the sun. We need to remember sunscreen for daycare. They must be spending a lot of time on the playground which is great, but his little cheeks were red tonight.


Miles is taking excellent care of the garden. Everything is growing nicely. This is the first year that we haven't put a fence around it. It's so nice to not have the fence. I hope the animals will stay out, so we don't have to add it.


Lest anyone should think that all our moments are blissful around here, we had a very rough afternoon earlier in the week. Carson had to live with several consequences due to poor behavior, the hardest one being no more swimming for the night. He had to watch out the window as Miles swam (b/c Miles didn't get in trouble) while he stayed inside. I really think it broke Miles' heart as much as it did Carson's. Carson has been good since that day. He's getting to the age where we have to hold him more accountable. The consistency is hard work!


Popsicles are life around here. I don't let go of the reins in many areas, but endless sugary popsicles during the summer is one area I do :)
