{week in review}

Morgan and I had a lot going on this week while Gerard was at camp. Another glimpse into life while he's at school ALL DALL next year! Wait, not next YEAR....next MONTH!! Wow....

We ran some errands early in the week. It's amazing how much easier it is to run errands with one child as opposed to two!

I worked on my latest project -- fixing up an old garage-sale kiddie rocking chair. I'm almost done and will post "after" pictures later, but here's a "before" shot.



Morgan and I went to the park on Wednesday for our regular Wednesday playdate in the park. It was very different without Gerard there... Morgan had my undivided attention and surprisingly there wasn't the constant "Gerard, stop that! Gerard, be careful! Gerard, come HERE!" in the background. It was nice for BOTH of us!

Big Gerard had jury duty on Wednesday. He was there most of the day but luckily he didn't get picked for the jury. He got home a little earlier than usual so I left Morgan home with Daddy while I picked Gerard up at camp and went to the farmer's market. Little Gerard loves the farmer's market. I usually let him pick out whatever he wants, within reason. If I were to give him TOTAL freedom we'd end up with bread, jam, honey and cookies. This week he picked out HUGE blackberries, blueberries, apricots and yellow cherry tomatoes. And bread. And cookies. And he "bought" me some very pretty sunflowers.




On Thursday I took out the dress-up clothes that Grandma and Grandpa had given Morgan for her birthday. I didn't think she was really ready for them when she turned 2, but now she's all about dressing up. Doesn't she look cute as Sleeping Beauty? (Try to ignore the greasy hair.... she got into the Vasoline and thought she'd use it like hair gel. These pictures were taken TWO BATHS later and STILL greasy!)





And here I make my entrance as Snow White.




Thursday night was Family Night at camp. Last time Gerard showed us the lake and archery, so this time he wanted to spend some time playing GaGa with Daddy. Even Morgan got in on the action.







And finally, on Friday Morgan got to play with Savannah while Shauna and the other girls had their dentist appointments. I think Morgan was in heaven -- this was HER playdate, NOT Gerard's!







Overall we all had a nice week. It rained a little each day, but it was never a total washout for Gerard at camp. I think he even swam all week. One day he was sad because the GaGa pits were flooded, but other than that it was all good!
