August Fun

This summer is flying by.  July was a whirlwind of visitors, birthday, camping.  August started with Sharon's birthday and a planned camping trip.  We are having fun, Cooper and I went to Oaks Park for the first time a last week.  He didn't like the roller coaster or the Tilt-A-Whirl.  He liked the train and the motorcycle ride the best.  He also went on the cars and rockets.  It was a lot of fun.

Today we went to a Vancouver library for the Reptile Man.  I thought it was great.  Cooper lasted about 1/2 hour then had to go potty.  He saw the train table inside the library and threw a fit trying to go back out to see the rest of the show. He really wanted to hold the white snake.

Back to Work

Happy Birthday to my awesome, beautiful wife. I love you.

I am back to work watching Larkin three days a week, Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I am enjoying the two days off in the middle of the week. Monday and Tuesday we stuck around the house and took a walk in the morning. Larkin is a good napper so she slept after lunch until her Dad came.

This weekend we bought beach sand and built Cooper's new sandbox. We were using a plastic turtle but wanted to build a box to make it bigger and have it under the deck. It's great, Cooper loves it too. He helped shovel the sand out of the trailer and was jumping and laying down in the sand as we dumped it in the box. We ended up buying way too much sand and are now trying to sell it on Craigslist.

The garage sale I had last weekend was a great success. Cooper helped me out on Saturday throughout the day. He played with the toys we were selling and said "hello" to all the kids that came by. It was probably good that he was sleeping when the blue race car was sold.

This weekend we have to move 3 yards of rock to the backyard, it is currently in the driveway. We are going camping the 13th so we need to move it to get the trailer out.
