We went on a walk with Cheryl in the morning.
I finally got my hair cut today. I've been wanting to do so since about April, but with our beach vacation I also wanted to be able to braid it. I donated it, as normal.
While I was gone Isaac decided to fill up a milk jug with water and toss it off the deck. Obviously. What he did not think about doing was putting the evidence in the recycling bin.
This afternoon I read a bit with Isaac. I was hot and the house was mostly clean and I didn't feel like doing more chores. It was an easy "yes" when he asked me to read with him. Tornado joined for a bit.
We had a birthday party with grandparents tonight. Nothing too big, but we had Buffalo Wild Wings, cake, streamers, and presents.
This morning the kids and I packed lunches at Kids' Food Basket. It was Joshua's first time, so we all worked at the same table. (Usually it's tables of two.) We were so fast. The kids did an amazing job sticking with it and I think we packed close to 500 lunches.
Then this afternoon I got an amazing text. But for context, I had emailed Katy and suggested that the Land O'Lakes recipe department change their on-line recipes so that the amount of ingredients were in the instructions. (I.e., Step 2: mix 2 tbsp butter with 2 cup flour.) I hate trying to scroll up and down with dirty hands because I can't see the whole recipe on the screen. Katy is the only person that I know that would actually know someone that could make such changes.
"Amanda, the head of the Land O’Lakes Culinary Center shared your recipe feedback with her team and sparked some very good conversation. She will keep me posted on where they net out. Maybe you will spark a new recipe format revolution!! "
This morning we went on a walk with Aunt C. It was a lovely time for a walk; it was cloudy and only about 70deg. The kids were on scooters and as long as we were moving the bugs weren't bad.
I thought Joshua had a dentist appointment today, but when I thought about it I realized that I haven't received a million reminder texts. I called and there was no appointment! Score.
The kids made a bunch of things with Legos today. So much so that I needed to ask the kids to play with me instead of the other way around. It does mean that I got quite a few things accomplished today though.
We got back from vacation yesterday, so today we 'recovered'. It was a great vacation so there wasn't much to recover from, but it's nice to have a day to unpack (somewhat) and get back to normal.
After getting home yesterday we stopped at the LEGO store. So we started the day with pick-a-brick boxes. There were a lot of tower pieces this time, so we all ended up with towers.
Isaac made a chaos tower:
