1 vehicle, 2 adults, 3 kids

For a while it was all cool. We scheduled our plans around having the van or driving daddy to and from work. We felt sort of efficient and a little more likely to get up and get dressed in the morning (all of us). But now that it's hot and the middle of summer vacation, it sort of stinks. And an inexpensive quick fix to the 91 Volvo sitting in our driveway is on the top of my prayer list.

What's on the top of yours?

Got tons on my mind lately. Our family has been coping with illness, automobile-money-pits, life-changing decision making, balding tires that sent us off-road and the summer blues just to name a few. I sure hope things take a turn for the better in the next couple of weeks! We could use some positive changes around here!

12 of 12 July!

Another less-eventful day in the Gove home

.

1. Goodmorning Amanda! 2-3. Samantha is potty-training (nearly there! She only wears a diaper at night). Though this has led to lots of running around in just her underwear declaring that she is "Potteee-Twained" whilst doing a hula hoop like dance with her hand on her hips. It's priceless... and a little disturbing, hee-hee! 4. Hayden, ever the nudist... he sees no reason to wear clothes unless we are "going somewhere". sigh. 5. Making homemade blueberry waffles 6. Just about to eat them! 7-8. Making 2 kinds of fries... daddy likes the thin ones 9. Hayden redecorating the backyard 10. It's a jungle out there! 11-12. Hayden showing daddy all his hard work on the "treehouse".
