June Fun

Both our phones are still filled with many of these from various children.

After experimenting with 17 different options, we finally got our projector set up to play D&D. The kids loved being able to actually move their minis, but they also loved the cool maps better than ones I drew on grid paper (big surprise). And so, we stuck a mirror in front of the projector, reversed the image and ta da! Awesome D&D maps!

Timmy still loves being photographed.

And Catherine's hand.

Jon's ingenious mirror setup is hanging from the ceiling there.

We sent Uncle Jakey my old phone (which was a fun disaster--thanks post office).

Elise included this note for him about playing tag and dead people.

Like I said, phones FULL of these...

Also, 11 year old boys can be extremely obnoxious when they want to go home and you don't.

Our laundry-stripping experiment is still a work in progress...

Catherine and ALL THE CAT PUZZLES

This year we decided to grow Swiss Chard in our garden.

We weren't expecting much.

We certainly weren't expecting a sink full of chard EVERY WEEK.

Green beans failed, butternut squash failed, but our chard is relentless.

The Mom Look

I don't think I've worn makeup since corona happened...
