Zen and the Art of Laundry

This is the first weekend we didn't have anything scheduled I can remember in a long time. We didn't have anything to do with the GirlChild's school, church or the extended famil.

The weather was beautiful. Yesterday it was sort of overcast and we did our errand running. Grocery store for our weekly essentials. SuperTarget for the none food sorts of essentials, papertowels, toilet and the ever important diapers.

The laundry is almost caught up. We've really got to do a load of laundry a day in order to keep ahead of it but the last week or so I haven't felt like putting a load on before I go to work.

The GirlChild took this lull in activity as an opportunity to go spend the night with Baba and GranMa. They opened the pool the last of April but the water is still very, very cold. The GirlChild didn't swim this weekend but has swam every other weekend since they opened it. As much as the BoyChild wants in the water, and he wants in badly, I've not let him swim yet. I think the cold would suck the life out of his tiny little body.

We bought plants and put together our hanging baskets this weekend. It was a little later than we normally do them but we've not had much time.

The GirlChild has two more weeks of school. The Husband has three.

The GirlChild is going away to sleep over camp this summer. I may have mentioned before I'm a little anxious about it. I've never been away from her for a week before. I'm trying to keep it positive. They sent a list of things we are suppose to send with them. We can send "mail" to be delivered by the counselors during the week. I'm thinking about things to send to her.

The BoyChild was adorable today. Need I say more?

Gotta go to bed now.

Ciao,

M&Co.
