PROJCT 365 *week 28*
i had a struggle taking photos this week.
not sure why exactly.
could be because, we have been keeping
really busy. but not really doing anything NEW lately.
jared has been insanely busy at work
and we try to keep nights pretty low key.
lindsey has been out of town all week to
byu track camp.
the kids are all ready for school to start.
or ready for some sort of change.
and i'm too lazy to entertain them every day.
i've been trying to get some work done
so that i'll have money to shop
for school clothes and school supplies.
and i.
yes, i
am definitely ready for school to start.
but i still finished the week.
no problem.

day 191
365/191
Every time Jenna hears the ice cream truck she begs for money. I hate the ice cream truck. It's such a rip off. Luckily the truck doesn't come down our street much. But today it did. I let her pick out one treat. She chose the tweetie bird ice cream with bubble gum eyes. A $3 treat...I hope he doesn't come back for awhile. She couldn't even finish the darn thing.
day 192
365/192
I've been craving popcorn balls all week. Today I finally made some. Lindsey wasn't here to be my helper and I was all thrown off. I didn't boil the mixture long enough so the balls are very soft and gooey. But they are STILL delicious. I went to bed with such a tummy ache.
day 193
365/192
These two started swim lessons today. They absolutely LOVED it. It is the first year any of my kids have had lessons. The old kids have just kind of learned how to swim on their own and with the help of my younger sisters. And they are pretty darn good swimmers. Jens is actually on the swim team at the community pool. Jenna calls swim lessons swim team. It's so cute! They are doing soooooooooo well. I'm thinkin about putting Lars on the swim team next summer. Jenna asks first thing every morning if it's time to go to swim team. LOVE IT!
day 194
365/194
A before shot of the living room. As soon as school starts and I go back to work. I'm going to paint the house. I also want to get panels for these two front windows. This one and the one to the right of this room for the dining room. The walls will be natural linen. I just have NO ideas for fabric for the curtains. I know what I want them to look like. Just long panels NOT really closing to cover the window. Just to hang down the sides...Just what? solid? what color? pattern? HELP!
day 195
365/195
3rd day of swim lessons. She LOVES it. She is becoming the best little swimmer. Today after swim lessons we stayed for regular swimming. The kids swam over 4 hours. She was so tired when she got home and had a 3 hour nap. And STILL went to bed with the rest of us.
day 196
365/196
I love when daddy gets home. One thing we do regularly is sit on the floor next to each other in front of the TV. Not really watching anything, just sitting together. Sometimes talking about the day. But not usually. Jared has been so swamped at work. I am so grateful how hard he works for our little family.
day 197
365/197
I've really been trying to teach Jenna the importance of cleaning her room. Most days I have to help her. But I love when she is motivated to do it herself. However, I never know WHERE she is going to put her stuff. Usually NOT where it is supposed to go. This is where I found her little tea set this afternoon. In her doll house. LOL At least they were stacked nicely!
and lindsey gets home on sunday.
i'm so ready for her to be home!
