We have been on the struggle bus the last week. All our go-to summer fun is tapped out, new activities are snuffed at, and even our favorite videos have grown tiresome. We just need a change. I know school is what Augustine is craving.
14 days and counting.
We are trying our best to enjoy the last two weeks of summer. There's one more trip to the farm planned, a little more swimming, a few ice cream socials in the 'hood, and hopefully less humidity so there can be more bike riding. 

This dinner was a winner...and on Mondays kids eat free! (Village Inn)


We are all feeling the intensity of so.much.togetherness. They want breaks from me just as much as I need a break from them, but they won't go anywhere in the house on their own! And forget being on different levels of the house. Not. Gonna. Happen. The peacocks in the basement might get them. Lewis is CONVINCED of this. He has reoccurring nightmares about "the purple peacock".

The summer food is still good though.

Logan and Augustine went to their annual clean-up day at Grandpa Burda's.

My happy baby has been unhappy. They say he had croup. I'm not convinced. Then I ate some dairy. Oops. #felloffthewagon The sling made him happy.

That pizza box inspired an elaborate game of Gianna's Drive Thru. Thank. You. Jesus.

Weekly park play date. This week the jump rope was a crowd pleaser.

Babies at the park.

Elias loves the mobile from my sister's and my nursery.

My mom made a super summery, super delicious lunch...BLTs. I splurged and had a soda with it...which has happened a lot in the last 1.5 weeks due to sleepless nights with the sick baby.

Augustine had an Aunt Beth adventure weekend with some cousins and it did not disappoint! They had a blast at the House O' Fun!

And then sometimes it's beautifully simple to please them.
