Summertiiiiiiiime and the livin's easy

I know. I KNOW! I've been quiet. In my defense, the summer visitation schedule is broken up into four three-week blocks. So I've had the kids. But still, "What have you been doing?!" you ask. "It's not as if your kids are small and need you to follow them around!" you say with a roll of your eyes. This is true. They're not toddlers.

So, first, we did this:

Then we did this:

Oh! We DID go on vacation where we did these things:

Over and over and over again. We ARE actually pictured here.

Sometimes it's best not to ask

Creepiest kids EVER

You have no idea the excitement pictured here.

I did this. I can't even...

Dead-on accuracy right here.

There was a cow. She ran. For a cow. I can't make this stuff up.

Pictured: Fail.

This is the second time he's fought the British.

Finding ghosts.

Then we came home and did this:

Then we stopped doing that -- VERY briefly -- to do this:

What? There was a bug on the ceiling. That's my bug-killin gear.

After careful review (gold, glittery powder?!), it might've been a fairy. Crap.

So yeah, that's about it. BUT. BUT! While they're at their dad's house for the next three weeks, I'm going to FINALLY work on The Girl's room. You might've noticed from the picture of us gaming that there's not much going on in her room. We did hang curtains, but they're only temp curtains. And she put up One Direction posters. That's all about to change. Well, not the posters. She'd kill me. But I've kinda slacked on her room since she's not here full-time. The other rooms took priority. But I'm totally gonna decorate (and unpack that damn box she's left sitting on the desk for two months!!!) now so she truly has a room here.This means diy projects and tutes. I'll blog all about our vaca, too!
