Hi!! I hope your Thursday was wonderful!

Thursdays are one of my favorite days of the week! Today did not disappoint. Another semi-normal day around here.

This morning the baby slept in later than normal so as soon as he woke up we made (boxed) waffles for breakfast. The boys are really into cream cheese and cinnamon sugar on them right now.

Once breakfast was enjoyed, we cleaned up and took care of school. Since we are SO close to summer break and we finished our curriculum back in January, we’ve just been doing math & reading workbooks and then reading out of our read aloud. I’ll do a full post on a homeschool update soon but that’s what’s been working for us! We are currently reading the first book in the Boxcar Children series and we are all loving it.

After we read a couple of chapters the boys went out to play. We’ve been having the nicest weather for playing outside. I know it’s going to get too hot for them to do it as much as they have been the last couple of weeks so we’re really enjoying the days they can spend all day outside. They’re loving snack plates lately so that’s been fun and an easy lunch. I loved packing Mason’s lunch when he was in school so I’ve really enjoyed making them for them! They played outside for most of the day & the baby got a good nap so I have zero complaints there. I was able to do the laundry & the rest of my chores during outside/nap time and that will forever be a win.

I’m happy to report laundry is no longer the bane of my existence and I (for the most part) am staying on top of it! (I wrote about my laundry woes a few posts back).

As soon as JKM came home we ate a super fast dinner. The boys had deconstructed omelettes & I had breakfast tacos. The boys are really getting good at helping clean up after meals and it makes me very happy. They headed back out “redneck style” as Mason calls it sans shirts. They keep me laughing on the daily, for sure.

While I was cooking dinner I began my third attempt at making a sourdough starter. I excelled the first time and it flourished but it happened way earlier than the book I’m following said it would so I messed it up. It truly is a labor of love. Fingers crossed & prayers up this time takes. I desperately want to be a successful sourdough baker.

When they boys finally came in they took their showers and got ready for bed. We watched Moss Family TV and called it a night.

The big boys ( JKM & MKM ) are headed to deer camp tomorrow with my FIL to hopefully harvest some turkeys. Mason is beside himself. I hope he at least gets to see one. The littlest two bears and I are going to have a laid back movie night.

See ya back here tomorrow!

Peace & hair grease!
