And a pretty little glass vase ($1)

Been thinking I might write a detailed-ish description of our trip to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. But, so far, I only have a title typed out. So, in case I never get to it, I’m gonna post snippets here and there for me to look back on.

Trying to figure out how to have 11 kids build their own ziggurats in a fairly short period of time without it costing a lot of money in supplies.

Went to our first (and last) Mississippi Braves game a couple of weeks ago. Scored a bunch of merch half off and these super great photos of some really cool people. ☺️

@KimberlyHirsh Yep! And where we spent the majority of our time!

We had a late morning appointment and an early-ish afternoon appointment today, so we stayed “in town,” got smoothies, and roamed the aisles of Walmart to fill the majority of the time in between. It was a fun change of pace.

Went to the chiropractor today. After Rowyn got adjusted, she looked at me and said, “What do chiropractors actually do?” It made our chiropractor laugh, then she proceeded to give Ro a wonderful explanation.

Spent the last few days with family out of town. Mostly at my dad’s. It was a really good time.

Lego shopping yesterday. Buddy bought his little sister a Lego with his own money. Because he was proud of her for handling a hard week well. 💛

@z428 It was definitely more intimidating looking than the result. At least where we were. Thankfully.

@crossingthethreshold The sun and clouds have battled throughout the day the last few days. We were on the outskirts of Hurricane Beryl stuff, but now it’s just July thunderstorms, I suppose.

Grocery shopping with my girl

My dad and I just had a lengthy phone conversation (then continued through text) about giant cicada-killer wasps (I saw one earlier this afternoon for the first time) and marbled orb weaver spiders (he has one in his shop). That was all after we talked about birds for a while. 🤓❤️

One of my favorite pictures from June: Him reading Sydney and Taylor Explore the Whole Wide World (a cute and funny short chapter 3-book series about a skunk and a hedgehog) to her

Kids are in second day of swimming lessons this year. So, of course, we’re all dreaming of a pool.
We’ve also been discussing getting new bikes as a family. None of us currently have one.
First thing this morning at lessons, Ro said, “Instead of bikes, can we get a pool?”
Even trade, for sure. 🤪

@heyloura I don’t feel so bad then. I got mine for my birthday a month and a half ago. Just waiting for the “right time” to get started. Thanks! Hope yours went or is going well!

@Kalena
@KimberlyHirsh Exactly!

@Kalena
@heyloura Ohhhhh! 😍 Have fun! I have a Kingfisher Lego waiting on me for when I figure out a good time. I’m excited about that one.

@dfr I’ve been soooo surprised with how well they’ve kept it! It’s like motivation for them in a way too!

@rickcogley Thank you! They’re probably my favorite flower to grow!
