a random summer week

It is hard to believe August arrives this week! I had a lot of plans for this summer and pretty much didn’t check one major thing off my to-finish list. The house is still 3 different colors on the outside. I really, really had hoped we would get it finished before school started. Maybe, just maybe that will still be the case.

Instead of finishing projects, we’ve been pretty chill with lots of friends all summer. It is impossible for me to not be ever aware that our summers with everyone home are dwindling away far quicker than I want. The reality of that makes the to-finish lists not such a big deal.

I have been spending the last few weekends trying to get the gameroom finished. I have a tiny bit left – hang pictures and hang curtains. Both of which are supposed to arrive this week, so I’m aiming at finishing it this weekend! Working on the gameroom and working on a collaboration with Athleta – that was my Saturday. More on both later…
One benefit of still having construction projects going on is still having construction plastic laying around!Corbett has been asking for fire nunchucks for a few years. Once I felt like he was ready, I surprised him with some for his birthday. It is pretty cool – watching him practice and watching him be smart about it all.

Every morning I come home from Crossfit and she joins me at the table. Everyone else is usually still asleep and we have our quiet morning moments together. My oldest and my youngest…one playing with fire and the other drawing guys in suits. Motherhood sure is fun.And that pretty much wraps up this random post of random things from a random week of my summer. Happy Monday!
