Well, our splash park plans were nipped in the bud – another rainy and overcast day! My poor raspberries just need a little more sun to ripen! Instead we were stuck indoors and had to make do with stuff around the home. Top of the list – almost completion of Zander and Gavin’s camping lapbooks. Emanuel has some catch up to do on the more difficult assignments and we still need to take one last nature walk but assembly has begun!

Pasting things together (Gavin left)

Trinity is getting over a rather nasty rash that started on Saturday so has spent the day in a semi moody mind set and in her pj shirt and diaper. Poor thing. We figure it was the sugar cookie she stole from one of her brothers on Friday night that has exasperated everything.

I did some more scrapbooking last night as well… Our two cd copy ultra sounds are ready for the baby’s eventual scrapbook. I still have the early ultra sound images to deal with. I dislike pasting down the originals so I may rescan them just to use those instead and box the originals.

Ultra Sounds

For a week that last week LOOKED relaxed and pretty easy we are now pretty much booked the rest of it… oh NOT the evenings (never the evenings) but the days… tomorrow we have library program in the morning for all 4 kids, then at 3:30 my doctor’s appointment, Wednesday is my diabetic appointment – around 2 hours since I booked right before lunch, Thursday is looking like our trip to the local Fort and Friday is a homeschool family’s garage sale with a visit later in the day with some friends who now live in California. The weekend… well Ken has this LAN out of town that he is trying to work out A. sitters for the boys and B. a way to get Trinity and I in the same town for the overnighter (as that is my qualifications for him going). So we shall see.

Getting a jump on the reading before the Library

Of course the sun finally came out after we sent the kids to bed. Hopefully the rest of the week will be sunnier – for the kids AND for our sanity. I am determined we will make it out to the Fort on Thursday… which means a lot of walking – outside. Of course, I DO have umbrellas…

Of course tonight I SHOULD be getting tons done and in reality I feel less than motivated. BUT I do have some scrapbooking on the go –  though I have to mock up the pages without the pictures, and am hoping to have a new pattern tomorrow to work on so progress will be made!

Spaghetti!!
