Friday Update #34 (8/22/14)

We had a great time camping in Medford, OR, with the Meldrums and made it home late Sunday night. Seth, of course, had to work early Monday morning and has worked long hours all week this week, but the boys and I have been slowly and sleepily recovering from all that traveling! I'm so glad we got to go on so many fun trips (ocean! church camping trip! family camping past Granite Falls! Medford!) but back to back to back to back weekends was a bit exhausting.

I had some returns to make to Target, but I stopped first at their $1 bins and found SO much GREAT stuff for Ezra's school this year. Lesson planning is my goal for the next two or three weeks, so we can start September 1st!


We spent a lot of extra time cuddling and sleeping-in and napping this week. Seth let me sleep in several days! but I also tweaked my neck or back sleeping without a pillow, so I parked on the couch with my heat pad (despite the heat! but thankfully it was a bit cooler this week) to recover.


Though it was cooler, it still wasn't quite cool enough for me to brave a park or the lake, so we went to two different malls to play in the AC.


Grandma made Ezra Thurman whiskers.


More cuddling!


More mall!


"A special cat bed".


He discovered my wedding dress again and had to try on the underskirt and dance about.



I'm soaking in the cuddles, because I know I'll miss them someday.


Ezra's plant died from lack of water while we were gone, so we made a family trip to Lowes for some moving supplies and new keys and I almost got away with sneaking in this new plant, but he saw and I had to explain what happened to the old one. We also tried on a new pet store (PetCo instead of Petsmart) and got yakisoba and had a family picnic in the parking lot.







I'm making progress planning and organizing!


I also started adding more of the flowers we dried this summer. The frame on the left (which is the middle frame on our wall) obviously hasn't been added to yet. I love seeing some of the flowers the boys have picked for me up on the wall.


We were all going all going to go to see Planes at Bradly Lake Park, but Isaac fell asleep early and Seth was so tired and the third pre-season Seahawks game was on... so just Ezra and I went to the movie by ourselves. We stopped at the grocery store and bought ice cream in those mini cartons and bought ice cream at the park and cuddled and watched the movie. I can't remember the last time Ezra and I went somewhere together, so it was especially sweet.
