Microwave pizza and popcorn in our hotel room. Steve Martin cracking us up so hard we’re crying. And these beauties, that the boys made, for dessert!! 👌🏼

Spider Man at the movies

The boys are THRILLED to be checking out this fancy schmancy movie theatre!! 😆 Lunch served at our seats!! 🙌🏼

Chocolate Camp

First day at Camp Truman Chocolate was a big hit!! Can’t wait to sample all the yummy take home chocolates the boys made today! 

Go Quakes!

Happy 4th!

Our local community pool throws one helluva 4th of July event, complete with various pool and field games, a hot dog concession stand, face painting, and live music! We stopped by for a little bit of entertainment - quite fun!! 

Then had some friends over for dinner, for a more mellow and quiet time at home! Overall, a really nice day. Happy Birthday America!! 🇺🇸

Callumism of the day

Jon and Callum went out to breakfast this morning after they dropped Logan off at camp (I went for a swim). At the diner, Callum asked Jon:

"Dad, if you had to choose one, which would you choose?"

Jon: "Peach."

Callum: "I'd choose kiwi strawberry because I'm not weird."

Summer House Rules

I decided to post house rules last week to kick off our summer. I really wanted to make sure we have a way to control the often out-of-control screen time that the kids can get themselves into. So, I put these together, with their buy in!

It hasn't taken long for the boys to try and figure out a workaround. Surprisingly, Callum is the main leader in this category. Last week, he told me he was going to skip #4 as his pass due to summer camp. I okay'd it and within seconds he said, I've also completed #3 since my summer camp was several hours of ceramics. Damn it!!

This morning, he came to me to show me a few drawings he had worked on, and said Mom, I spent 30 minutes working on these sketches. Let me show you....

I said those are great!! He then said, Oh btw - I worked on them outside in the backyard, so I've spent 30 minutes outside too! 🤣🤣🤣
