A Great Mid-Summer Week

I don't know if it's because Dave is in town and home by 6:30 pm all week, but we had a really great week:

• On Monday I did laundry, housework and 2 dinners for other families.
  
• On Tuesday I ran errands while the boys played with Erin our babysitter.
• On Wednesday, we went to the Jump Zone, where the boys had 3 hours of playtime and a fun time with friends.
• On Thursday, we got our oil changed in record time, visited a park, did some fingerpainting art outdoors on our picnic table, and had our new storm door installed. Thursday night the boys spent some quality time at Dick's Sporting Goods (which Daniel calls "the golf store") while I picked up some bargains at Kroger (previous post) and Joann's.
• On Friday, we prepared for a party, did housework and I went to our Moms Together planning retreat which provided a nice break, good food and some quality girl time with some of my friends.
• On Saturday I recovered from the retreat and got ready for a big "goodbye" party for our friends The Eckerts who are moving to Washington DC for a year. A great time was had by all, especially the kids who got to bounce in the bouncy house.
• Today we were exhausted! There was plenty of rest and a trip to the pool tonight. We're ready to start it all again tomorrow.
