We went camping for the May long weekend. The girls were thrilled with most parts, except the sleeping arrangements on the first night:
Mama, save us from this horrible idea!!!
A dozen or so trailers and campers:
Several ridiculously cute bugz:
The unbelievable versatility of dear Constance:


Creating a minivan playpen for bug containment:
Sippy-time:
‘Sup mama?
Gratitude that this was only a sprain, and not a break … although he is totally gimped and can’t help with the duplex renos now:
I wasn’t going to go, but I’m glad I did. I got a nice 9.5k run in (even though I was hoping for 12-14k…). Constance was such a treat, with her mobile playground and fantastic sleeping arrangements for me and the bugz- the bunkbed we devised for the camper was NOT a hit at all, and my babeez were horridly scarred by the experience. Oops!
We came home early Sunday morning and cleaned up the house. Today I primed the disgusting ceilings next door. Tomorrow is all about priming. Wednesday is all about painting the ceilings. Thursday is all about painting. Leith is gimpy. We might hire someone to paint, because I NEED to study for my exam!!
On a non-Gratitude note, we are thinking about selling the duplex once the renos are done. Besides Leith’s first truck being stolen, someone broke into the garage on Wednesday night/Thursday morning and stole his $3000 mountain bike. I’m sick of it, he’s sick of it, and it’s not worth the tax deductions anymore.
But one with the new week
