Slow it down

I wish time would slow down for, say.... 2.5 weeks. Just so I can maximize the time before I leave.

I do get to see almost all of my family before departure: Darren and Allison, and Brad and Nat and the kids are coming to MN for Labor Day weekend. Yay!

Look who's back

Makes me happy :)

The other night, we went shopping for clothes for him, which he really needed. It's fun to shop for someone else (with someone elses money)! Kayla happened to be at Target when we were, and she said "you match", so we got a picture. He's wearing one of his new shirts. Cute, huh? :)

Free Mulch

If you live near the cities and want some free mulch, there is always a pile off of 394 and the Dunwoody/Hennepin exit. The Mpls park people dump their ground up trees in a parking lot, and it's on the right if you take a right at the first stoplight off the exit. I always see people loading up trailers and vans, and since I love free stuff, I kind of wish I needed some. :)

Summer stuff

staying up 'til 5 am after a trip to the
stone arch bridge
sleeping in 'til ... whenever you wake up
stepping outside into a
sauna
sand volleyball
swimsuits that are constantly wet
smiles and laughter, everyone is cheerful
sunscreen on a
slippery little girl with humidity-made curls
small town celebrations
smell of fresh-cut grass
