Sunday was Pentecost. We prayed the novena and lit candles each day, along with listening to or singing a song about the Holy Spirit. Logan is good with Liturgical holidays.
We’ve played in water almost every day this week because it’s suddenly in the 90s. Yep. I still dislike summer.
And what do you do all summer when you’ve already been living like it’s summer for three months?! Makes it hard to make it special between that and nothing being open...or open and worth all the stipulations to go and “enjoy” it.
He’s not sleep trained, but we’ve found a happy medium we can all live with for now. Except the past two days have been awful. He is refusing his crib again. Maybe it’s the molar that’s just poked through.
This was the last morning this week that was cool enough to be outside. He plays up here with me and we watch the big boys play in the yard. I miss that already.
The big boys had shops and houses and an airplane set up. They played the morning away. Together. Nicely!
I snuck away for my friend’s birthday party, and it was so refreshing to be with friends!!! I only knew half the women there so it was fun meeting new people as well. Apparently, if you don’t use social skills for three months, you get rusty. Who knew? We all stumbled together and enjoyed ourselves anyway.
Elias flipped the tortillas for the first time! He did really well.
I “went” to a book party and had fun picking out some new titles for the boys. This book for Elias has reusable stickers to tell the story. It’s not well written but the stickers are fun.
Levi played Matchbox cars for the first time. He did well keeping them out of his mouth, but we still have to stay pretty close by.
He carries cars around for days. And I tried on some shoes from the shoe stash. Cute but they don’t stay on.
We had a driveway visit with Grandma, Grandpa, and cousin Philip. I’m so tired of driveway visits. We all long for REAL visits.
Angelyn finished the boys’ names!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE them! What a fun collection! Elias spelled his over and over one day. He even tried to spell it backwards.
We got a water blob/slip and slide, and a bubble gun! It was so fun. You fill the whole thing with water, but I barely filled it. Way too much water use to fill the whole thing AND run the sprinkler part for an hour while we play. All four boys enjoyed it!
The bubble gun was $3 at Target and it was incredible until it broke. So I exchanged it and bought two more hoping it was a fluke, but sadly only one works. At least we have one!
I’ve had such a sweet tooth lately but worry about sugar intake, so I tried a new recipe for a low carb mug cookie. It’s actually really good, and reminds me of the low-carb pancakes I used to make when I was pregnant. Only way faster. Plus they only call for the egg yolks so I made an egg white only omelette to go with.
I cleaned up the art cupboards, which inspired some projects.
These are just as fun as when I was a kid.
Lewis and Augustine played a lot of “investigators” this week. Probably because of the small snippets of current events that we’ve been discussing as a family, and because they discovered the show The Inbestigators on Netflix.
Did you know they make almond and coconut milk Rediwhip?! And the dairy free people said AMEN!!!
I made homemade Lorna Doone cookies with homemade (runny) pumpkin pie mousse. It was decent. I’ll try the cookies again.

Not a very interesting week, but we made it through.
