I seem to be reversed in my schedule right now, another night up until past 3 am unable to sleep only to SLEEP IN… Ok so it has not even been 2 weeks but I still feel the urge to get things done only to find I don’t have the energy to follow through. But I did manage to call back Public Health for our 2 week check in, schedule Echo’s 2 month immunizations (not until beginning of November due to October being busy season) and check in with the government to find out I can’t deal with renewing my hold on payments on my student loans until the 1st of September. So something has been accomplished.

Last night Ken and the kids spent much of their evening prettying up our backyard. So today the twins continue the job with bad apple collection and then we refill our pool for one last summer bash. I figure fun in the pool, picnic at the little table and maybe some sprinkler action will make up for my lack of energy. After all the weather is nice for it!

Note the clean cut Kenny cutting grass cleanly

I have managed to get started on my personal project. I don’t have any of the pictures yet but I do have an idea of what I want printed and am able to put the pages together with that in mind. It is fun to do a project from start to finish in one go! Though I am not sure how quickly the pages are going to get done I have to have them done before Karyn gets back so they all have the same look and feel using the Cricut and other methods. The first page I did was based entirely on the new paper pack and came out rather cute I think.

We went out to the legislature today after our weekly produce run. I am so glad we managed it, though wish we could have gone more often this year! The plan is that if the weather holds for another week we can make another trip out. Parking in the evening is free and the kids had an absolute blast in the fountains. Echo slept through it all but got a little sunlight and some smiles from strangers.

Tomorrow I am hoping to get in a bit of baking. We have cherries in the fridge and I am thinking cherry muffins may be a nice treat for the family. If they work out I will have to post the recipe. I have been working hard on applesauce and am hoping to find some new recipes for treats for the family. Maybe do up some more apple leather… But first I need to get my sleeping schedule back on track… hopefully!
