Summer fever/Updates

Mallory is feeling much better today. She spent two days on a cranberry juice diet, and we decided that chips and cheese would have to be put on hold for a while. Poor baby. She felt so bad. I felt bad for her, but she discovered that she loves cranberry juice!

We started our day today looking at a new house. We are in desperate need of more space, and the housing market is prime for buyers right now. If you know my husband, you know that making a decision on something takes him a long time. He takes forever (FOREVER!) to make up his mind. I've found more houses than you can count, but Christian is always looking for the best deal. Or is afraid to settle on something because "something better" may just be around the corner. Today, however, we did agree on this house. It was so cute. It was just off the square in Covington, which is prime property. It was 4br/3bth, and had a fenced in backyard. It was built in 1955 and had lots of character. And....it is a great price.

However, I'm just afraid that it won't be big enough. We have lots of big furniture. We inherited two big pieces of furniture from Christian's side of the family, and they are pieces I don't really want to give up. But this house was really cute. Mason said, "I don't want that to be my new house because it doesn't have stairs." Can you tell where his priorities are?

Later we met our friends for some walking and a concert on the square in Covington. It was southern rock, and we took a picnic. The kids had a great time playing in the grass/dirt/ants while we listened to the music. Melinda, however, had to make a quick trip to the drug store. Her daughter, Aubrey, got a piece of a peanut butter cookie in her mouth, but she's allergic to peanuts. It was only a few minutes (3-5) before Aubrey was scratching her tongue and drooling. Bless her heart! A few sips of Benedryl later, she was running around with everyone else.

I was pooped when we got home, so the kids let me lay on the couch with them and watch cartoons. We ended the day with some ice cream from Brusters, spagetti, and a bath. The kids were pooped by that time, and they were in bed by 7:30.

Another day in our lives. The kids are enjoying their summer break, and counting down the days to the beach! 6 days left!!!!!!
