They survived......Nutcracker Day

Today we went to see the Donetsk Ballet (from Russia) perform a school version (shortened, but still almost 2 hours). Our friend Candace from church (Peter's age, 10) was one of the party girls and Chinese dancers. It was painful for the boys, but we enjoyed the time together after reading the book, lunch with Nick at Subway (he was on break from work at the Nike outlet), then home to make our own nutcrackers and fill them with candy from Five Below.  We'll call it a success. It made me miss the girls recitals with Wildwood Ballet in Florida. These two are too young to remember.

Boys to men

Yesterday we dropped jack off at high point camp in birdsboro for the week. He'll be 16 in a month. He's growing up fast....

Priorities and procrastination


Olivia has requested that I start blogging again when she goes to college next month. I figure now is as good a time as any to re-form the habit as she leaves in exactly three weeks. Not that anyone is counting. Or crying themselves to sleep at night about it (ahem).

My garden and flower beds are a bit out of control:


Then we had a fierce storm last night that knocked out my corn (it happened once before already but we were able to save it. Not sure this time).

So you'd think I would spend what free time I had today working on those.... No. 
The mailbox and "sewer cap garden" got makeovers instead.


 Patience other garden beds, your time will come. 
For now, let's focus on the pretty:  gladiolus and kale!

And the cutting garden...

On our way

To see these two. No, we didn't get a new dog, but one of the homes where Haley babysits got an 8 week old golden retriever. Precious!
