Sleepy Sunday

We should be getting ready to leave for church right now. Instead, I’m blogging, Dear Husband is watching a survival show on TV, Princess just got up and curled up on our bed to watch cartoons, and Flower is still asleep. I guess we’ll write it off to a holiday weekend and let Flower sleep.

The girls are tired. Friday night we had friends over. We roasted marshmallows and the kids ran around the yard until 11:00 pm. DH had planned a “camping trip” in the backyard and set the tent up earlier that evening so we slept outside and the sun came up very early Saturday morning.

Yesterday the girls wanted a play date at Nana and Papa’s house. DH and I dropped them off after lunch and went to town to run some errands. We ran into some friends and ended up with dinner plans, which morphed into more friends at a wings joint. By the time we got back to pick up the girls it was late. It’s overcast the cool this morning, perfect weather for sleeping and Flower is taking full advantage.

Today we are planning to harvest the garden, which shouldn’t take long. We have a bumper crop of carrots, beets, and basil. Our friends brought us a sack of zucchini last night. This afternoon we’ll be making pesto and baking carrot cake and zucchini bread.

Tomorrow DH has a fishing trip planned with his buddies. I’m not sure what the girls and I will do. The weather forecast looks cold and wet so maybe we’ll stay in, drink hot cocoa, and say goodbye to summer.
