Ah, what starts out rough can often end up awesome! Thanks for the kind words and encouragement on Saturday’s post — we all have those rough days, and sometimes just writing about it puts it in perspective; it’s a bad day, not a bad life!\u00a0\"DSC_0094\"<\/a>\"DSC_0078\"<\/a>\"DSC_0032\"<\/a>\"DSC_0018\"<\/a>\"DSC_0024\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend we had a lot of down time — not a lot of plans and not a lot of housework going into the weekend, which was just what we needed after nearly a week without Andrew last week. Sometimes weekends turn out great if we just let them! We marveled at the enormous pumpkin in our garden — now what do you do with a huge orange pumpkin in the middle of August? I haven’t the slightest idea because we weren’t expecting pumpkins until October…\u00a0\"IMG_0252\"<\/a>\"IMG_0267\"<\/a>\"IMG_0242\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And more of these slack-lining shenanigans — it’s so much fun! And that Milo is such a bookworm lately! Who knew the day would come when he would choose sitting very still on a blanket in the shade over running and climbing like a monkey on the playground equipment? Not that I’m complaining…\"DSC_0038\"<\/a>\"DSC_0037\"<\/a>\"DSC_0051\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also partook in a really great block party on Sunday. They blocked off our street and we all set up the slack line, a keg of beer, popsicles and tables of goodies for the kids. The city firetruck came and let the kids check out the equipment, which of course was amazing for all the kids. \u00a0\"DSC_0123\"<\/a>\"DSC_0129\"<\/a>\"DSC_0133\"<\/a>\"DSC_0134\"<\/a>\"DSC_0136\"<\/a>\"DSC_0151\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And one of our neighbors juggled fire…\u00a0\"DSC_0187\"<\/a>\"DSC_0195\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… while riding a unicycle. You know, the typical neighborhood stuff.\u00a0\"DSC_0114\"<\/a>\"DSC_0108\"<\/a>It was a good one. The end of summer is near, and we are on the cusp of the birthday bonanza over here. First one up, Oliver! What a great summer it has been!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
