The few almost 80 degree days we have had so far involved Kate in a swimsuit. She BEGGED to go swimming but settled instead for the sprinkler. Here she is putting on a show between sprints through the water.
KingRooRoo - Who doesn't like sprinklers? well.. her good friend Wendell doesn't seem to really like sprinkers.. but he loves spray hoses and spray bottles.
I'm excited to get the wading pool out but not sure I want to put the work into it, especially if Wendell doesn't get in. I guess I'll just have to invite Kate so I know it's worth my time: )
First day of freshman year versus last day of freshman year! First day of 6th grade versus last day of 6th grade! First day of 4th grade versus last day of 4th grade! Last day of 4th and 6th versus last day of 5th and 3rd grade And then a throw back to last day of school 2024! Claudia's last day of 8th grade! Natalie's last day of 5th grade! And Maddie's last day of 3rd grade! They are growing up! :)
You are probably looking at my post title and thinking...what?! I'm reading up about surfactant leaching. I have self diagnosed our bathroom with this disorder. Basically, surfactants in the wall paint (I'm guessing it is some kind of chemical) is leaching and running down the walls. According to various online 'experts' who appear much smarter than I, the leaching is due to us not giving the paint the proper amount of time to dry before showering. Bummer. So begins work week in the Craft household. One project for work week is to...tackle surfactant leaching. Work week begins tonight...although I already did some caulking so I guess it truly began this afternoon. The caulk job took all of 30 minutes. And yet I'm tired. Which brings me to the second half of my post title; chemical dependency. I'm afraid I have developed an addition...to coffee. It all started sometime after CJ was born and proceeded to be a poor...
We probably end up shopping at Target at least once a week. But last weekend we ended up at the Cedar Falls Target and the girls decided it warranted a brief photo shoot. Aren't they so adorable. CJ was with us too but she opted out. Brown Bottle dinner to celebrate Grandpa Craft's 75 birthday! Maddie has been having fun creating faux fingernails out of paper. They don't last long but they sure are cute. This photo is just one pair she made. Mike and I ran a 5K a few weeks ago. He has run a lot of 5Ks in the past few years and I am just now making my return to running. I was not at all fast but I am proud that I'm getting back out there.
