Weekend Wind-Down: July 18

After a week away, it was good to be home this week.  Thank you for all of the birthday wishes.  Thirty-eight feels about like the previous year.  This is a photo from camp; we were about to go to the adult-only banquet.  It began with just my husband and me in the picture, but the girls joined in after a bit- in a clingy sort of way.  (My hair is short again, but I'm not sure how long it will last.)
Big Sister, age 7, attended a Science in the Summer class at our library this week.  Put on by the Franklin Institute, I knew she'd learn a lot about oceanography, and she did.  We've had a lot of the typical thunderstorms this week. One morning, I was about to fill up the pool (kiddie variety) when I heard  distant thunder.  Instead of skipping the idea all together, I waited and listened.  With no more thunder (for a bit), the children played with balls in the pool.

This week I had four new posts on the blog.
This is a peek into my living room.  I don't decorate much, but I really like this.  I wish it was always tidy like this.


**Also, please note, on Sunday morning (into Monday) there will be a flash giveaway (lasting 24 hours) at This Simple Home's Facebook page.  I'm giving away an Amazon gift card to one of you.**
Now it's time for the party.

  2. Pretty brave risking the kiddie pool with the thunder - but good not to miss out on play as long as it stayed away :)
