August Activities

I'm starting to realize that my carefree days on maternity leave are coming to an end. I'm a bit sad even though I've stated many times that being home this past year has been tough. Liam is starting to really blossom and I'm sad to know that I'll be missing out on four days a week of his life. Bummer.Liam enjoys standing at the gate like a caged monkey!

Enough of that meloncholy. I'm doing my best to make the most of my last bit of 'freedom' before the crazy fall days are here.

Today, I had an appointment in the morning to get a lump dug out of my head....good times. No, it wasn't as bad as all that. I had a mole that annoyed me when I combed over it so I had it taken off. It was much easier than I thought it would be and wished I would have done it a whole lot sooner. I'm a chicken! My gene pool has dictated me covered in freckles, spots, moles, beauty marks etc. I've never craved a tattoo because I'm already marked for life thank you very much.

This afternoon I surprised the boys by letting them pick out a recipe from their kids cookbook and actually letting them help me make it! I'm not the type of mom to enjoy this sort of activity but I knew it would mean a lot to them so that's what we did. Chad chose 'Stained Glass Cookies'.

We also headed out to the park so Liam could swing for a bit. He's an adrenalin junkie and loves to sway for quite a while while I read on the bench. The kids play and run over occasionally to give him another push. A handy arrangement.
