Well, that's a wrap on the State swimming weekend for Asher. This also means that his season has come to end. It's been a pretty bizarre year and a half with swim team in general, due to covid. Everything came to a total halt last spring, followed by a summer with very, very small and… Continue reading Back from State weekend, and it’s hot

Solo outing with Ethan! :-)
I had a quick appointment yesterday morning on the other side of town, and Asher had summer school. So, a few days ago I asked Ethan if he wanted to come along, and said maybe after we could stop by the zoo, just the two of us. Our city has a fairly small but still… Continue reading Solo outing with Ethan! 🙂
Exciting Weekend Social Events
The boys are both extremely excited for TODAY. They both have long-awaited social events coming up. • Ethan has his sleepover birthday party tonight! His 3 best friends are coming over around 1:30 this afternoon and will be staying until basically whenever the parents want them home tomorrow. The plan is to go to our… Continue reading Exciting Weekend Social Events
Haircut + Documentaries
Just jumping on quick before I dive into an afternoon of work. I took the morning off to get a haircut and color. I might be weird, but I hate getting my hair done. I really do not enjoy it at all. It takes too long, it's boring, I find sitting next to the stylist… Continue reading Haircut + Documentaries
Today + photo project fun
Not much time today- I am on a mission to head out in~5 minutes to hit up the grocery store!! We seriously need groceries, and there just wasn't a great time so far this week. (Well, there probably was, but nobody wanted to go.) I tend to have a MUCH easier time (semi) cheerfully going… Continue reading Today + photo project fun
Summer school surprise
So, on Monday evening, after his first day "home alone" (Ethan's at camp) and his first day back from swim camp/Iowa meet, Asher declared, "I can't wait to go back to school. Just being home is kind of boring. Can I do summer school???" I was like, "Wait, what?!" I honestly hadn't even really talked… Continue reading Summer school surprise
A Good List
some fresh air for one of our tiny furry friends ❤ Last night I was in the kitchen quickly browning some taco meat before swim practice, and the nightly local news came on. In the first 30 seconds, they announced the top 3 stories for the evening. They were: 1) a heart-wrenching report of a… Continue reading A Good List
Solo Ethan weekend & more camp
This is one of those times in life that feels like, what's the saying?? A beautiful mess? Everything has felt a bit chaotic and hectic over the last couple weeks (actually, couple months, really), but so much of it is so GOOD! So this isn't a complaint. 🙂 Let's see...so, I got home from swim… Continue reading Solo Ethan weekend & more camp
Everyone survived! Home from camp
We made it home from swim camp last night, after a full 4 days away. The boys survived 8 1/2 hours of swimming per day, too. I'd say there were a few mixed emotions over the week, but mostly positive. The boys were no trouble at all, though I think his friend was not totally… Continue reading Everyone survived! Home from camp
Hi from swim camp :)
Hello! Just jumping on quick during a little lunch break to update on our first couple days at swim camp! So far, so good! The drive up was early but uneventful, the boys got checked in (armed with their negative covid tests) and I was driving out of the parking lot by 8:30 a.m. yesterday.… Continue reading Hi from swim camp 🙂
