This Weekend

We are looking forward to this weekend. We've been so busy the last two weekends with a soccer tournament and Dam to Dam. Jock and I have had to divide and conquer to get to the things we had going on.

The same has gone for this week. Kaylen's had swimming lessons M-Th evenings, so we haven't so much as had a meal all together until tonight. Last night after Kaylen's swimming lesson, I took Kaylen to the last half-hour of soccer practice, then all the kids to the library to pick out books for the next two weeks and get their reading logs stamped for the summer reading program. It was 8:30 when we got home so no family time last night either!

We'll probably still be busy this weekend - that never seems to end - but we'll be home or going places TOGETHER, and that'll be nice! Saturday we have Elijah & Josephine's last Blastball game of the season. Sunday morning we have church, and late Sunday afternoon we have a get-together with Jock's dad & brothers for Father's Day. Looking forward to those things.

Other than that, we'll have time to get some things done around home. If the weather holds out, we might even be able to finish planting my garden -- after all, "G" is for Garden! Jock may work on some landscaping beds that need some work, or do some more work on the swing set. We can all catch up on some sleep too - much needed after being awakened two nights in a row this week by thunderstorms and one VERY SCARED little girl.

And on that note... I'm heading to bed - as the weatherman just forecasted that there's a chance for isolated thunderstorms every night for the next several nights! Maybe we'll be gardening in the humidity and mud, on very little sleep. Ugh! We need a few more dry days!
