Day in the Life: June 21st

Aren't my boys just the cutest?

8:00 Slow summer mornings are the best--what's the fun in showering first thing when you wake up?

9:00 Plugging away at the library's summer reading program

10:00 Which of course requires plenty of visits to the library (twist my arm)

11:00 Two of the boys are in NC this week and I still end up with a cart full of groceries

12:00 Lunch is served

1:00 So around 10:00 this morning, we found out that due to the torrential rains the past few days our jet ski and pontoon had started floating away from our dock. Darrell immediately left the office to go help, and three hours later he was still trying to complete the typically 45-minute drive. Roads were flooded all over the place and he could not find a route to get him to the cabin

2:00 Darrell finally made it and spent the next few hours securing our equipment, helping the neighbors secure theirs, and then ultimately getting as many things out of the lake as possible because the water kept rising (and yes, I watched as much as I could through our security cameras and was texting constantly with one of our neighbors whose husband was down at their cabin helping his father secure their property)

3:00 Six was hard this summer. We had lots of big emotions

4:00 My cutest youngest sous chef

5:00 More dinner prep 

6:00 Not exactly the dinner view we had planned on--we had been planning to be at the lake for the weekend--but Mother Nature had other plans

7:00 Snack time!

8:00 Yay! Daddy made it home just in time for bedtime

9:00 Working on Darrell's birthday cake

10:00 Sampling some of the ice cream while trying to catch up on some posts

Well, that was one way for Darrell to celebrate his 40th birthday. Definitely a day we won't soon forget!
