Swamped Thing


I've been swamped with commitments lately, and now we've reached the light at the end of the tunnel. The past couple of weeks have been a marathon whirl-wind of activity, but things are starting to slow down. No worries, I'll catch up on here soon. I know you're just dying to read what we've been up to, right?

Last night was a nice break. Matthew and Daniel had saved up enough "Bee" cards to go out on a date with me. (Bee cards are rewarded when children have their chores finished for the day and they do service for a family member.) We went to the movie theater and watched "Monsters University" in 3D. It was such a fun outing with my boys! We had a wonderful time eating popcorn and sharing Reeses Pieces candies.

Matthew brought his wallet and generously purchased treats for his brother. After the show we couldn't find his wallet. We looked under rows of seats and back-tracked everywhere he had been. His hard-earned money from working 12 hours during the sweltering July Fourth festival was in there. No one turned it into the Lost and Found, so we were very sad. It's a very tough lesson to learn for a kid.
