It's the Every Day Stuff

It's kind of hard to believe that I'm just now getting on here for the first time since our vacation two months ago.  (Shame on me!) I'd love to sit here and tell you that we've just been soooo busy doing these amazing things that I couldn't possibly find the time to blog....but I can't say that. We have been busy, but I'm not sure if anything really counts as super amazing. And truth be told I probably could have jumped on here to tell you about it but I just didn't think that you wanted to hear about me doing the dishes...or the laundry. 

It's really just been a lot of every day stuff going on for us. A lot of cleaning and organizing! With us having about 8ish months left here, we're starting "the countdown" on what needs to get done before we leave. What do we need to sell (because it runs on 200v instead of 110)...what are we just going to get rid of...that sort of thing. It's a process that can get very overwhelming if we put it off, so I like to start it really early & take things slowly so we're not rushing around at the last minute.

We're also already getting the kids ready for next school year...which I'll go ahead and tell you feels crazy. And I'm totally not ready for. In September we will officially have TWO(!!) middle schoolers in this house. (What?!) Ohhh...I'm not ready for that at all. Where did the time go? Weren't they babies just yesterday?? 

So, yeah, we've had a lot going on here. I will say that it hasn't been all work and no fun for us. We do like to take some time on the weekends to occasionally to take a break from everything and relax. A few weekends ago, we took the kids to the International Market near us which was pretty cool.

It was like Medieval Times sword fighting

Wild Boar for sale...Interesting. We didn't buy any though.

We did buy some delicious Italian sourdough bread and it was amazing.

They were roasting a whole pig out there. The kids even got some sandwiches.

Brian and I had street tacooooosss. Lol

The market was awesome. It was our first time back in a very long time & I'm glad we went during the International Market. We also took the kids bowling recently with some friends. And I'm very sad to say that the kids beat all of us. There was no hope for us at all. 

With summer starting for Hayden and I tomorrow, hopefully we'll have some fun adventures to tell you about. Ones that don't involve dishes or laundry. Until then...much love!
