Getting Busy Again

Man, it's getting busy again as we're trying to get used to routines with the kids back in school.

In the meantime, let's see if I can find another picture of the sky. It's become my thing when I make you wait for me to catch up on my blog.

 

Here's the sky when we had some smoke from fires come in recently from I think Idaho.

What They Missed- August 8

Sunday, August 8-  

The day they headed home.

The boys and I watched church from home that day. I am so proud of them. While I stayed in my pajamas, Jr. Jr. and Lucky both got dressed in their church clothes to watch Sacrament Meeting.

I didn't feel as bad on Sunday as I did on Saturday but still took it easy. 

 

We had a little fun.

"Smile."

At one point, Jet got a hold of my phone and took pictures and videos.

We did go outside for a few minutes, not for the fresh air obviously, but because we had been cooped up for a couple of days and the boys needed to run around if just for a moment.

We could see a little more of the mountains but it was still very hazy. 

Jeremy and Nichole and Jr. started their trip home that day, stopping briefly to visit his brother and his wife in Idaho on the way.

I looked at the calendar but didn't do anything to celebrate anything. Blahhh. Being sick stinks.

What They Missed- August 6

Friday, August 6-

This was not really a "I need a do over day" but I did take it kind of easy. I was feeling a little under the weather. That and the heavy smoke in the air outside made it unpleasant. 

 

See our beautiful mountains?

Me neither. 

We didn't get much done that day.

It was National Water Balloon Day so the boys watched a show with a water balloon fight in it. It was Wiggle Your Toes Day. We did do that. It was Fresh Breath Day so we ate some mints. It was Lucille Ball's Birthday so the boys ate some "yum yum balls" (Whoppers). Jr. Jr. thought he would be funny when he put "yum yum balls" on my shopping list before the trip. He was surprised and thrilled when I actually brought a box of Whoppers home for them to eat on Lucy's birthday. I did manage to make root beer floats for Jr. Jr. and Lucky to celebrate Root Beer Float Day.

Jeremy and the older two continued to work hard.

 

They had fun, too.

Cheeeeeese
