A Picture Update

Happy Friday!  This week I was back at Work Monday-Wednesday.  Preparing for this school year is just absolutely crazy.  I'm thankful I'm not in administration because making plans that will please everyone is purely impossible and just ridiculous.  So my advice to any parents out there...please be kind to school staff.  They are working so hard and there are no good solutions.  Just be nice.  Assume good intentions.  Express gratitude.  Ok. There's my little soapbox.

Anyway...as I was masked up all day (bottom middle), the girls spent Monday at Boom's house!  There was lots of playing and art and fun!

On late Monday afternoon, the tree guys came out to take down the dying/dead/invasive trees behind our house.  The top right was before, the bottom right was after.  We definitely lost a lot of privacy, but we are hoping to make use of the extra space we have back there with some fun landscape stuff.  Hopefully someday (soon), anyway! The girls had fun watching them out Callie's window.

Tuesday through Thursday was a bit of the blur.  The girls hung out with G-ma and Pa, and they also met Auntie Hanna and Mitchell at the beach! And Pa set up water Olympics in their back yard.  So much fun.

Auntie Hanna and Mitchell came over yesterday afternoon for a little pink pool time in the shady front yard!  Those three cousins in the tub were pretty much the cutest. And Mitchell in our (decade old) baby towel was also the cutest!!!

Other things from this week...we did some back-to-school prep.  The girls' school had a technology pick-up day, so we went to get their chrome books.  We also went to get school supplies (the list was much shorter this year...) and watched a "Return to Learn Community Event" to learn more about what the Distance Learning program will actually be like.  It was riveting, as you can imagine. Ha!

This morning we met Boom for a picnic lunch and play time at Lake Harriet (including ice cream!) and then hung out a bit in G-ma and Pa's backyard.

And I’ll leave you with a correction. Pa caught that I mislabeled a baby on my Tuesday Timehop! 

That is definitely not 2020 Maya...it is 2020 MILA! It has now been corrected in the Timehop post from Tuesday. Gotta love back-to-work MUSH BRAIN.

Have a good weekend!
