Bullet Points of My Life Lately

- Chloe was sick - fever, coughing, crankiness. Luckily the worst of it was Thursday and Friday, when she was home with my mom and Eric. She was fine to go back to the babysitter's on Monday. 

- I was a little sick too, but mostly just a head cold that passed quickly. 

- Mom's been staying with us for over a week now. Tonight she flies away to move. For good. I don't think we'll see her until my wedding in 2015. 

- My nephew was with us also from Wednesday night until Monday morning. Madi was over Thursday and Friday through the day. Needless to say, I'm happy I was working. Wayyy too many people for me. 

- We've been working hard at our bead business. I don't post about it in here anymore because I don't want google searches bringing people to this blog, like it was before. And for that reason I even started a bead blog. Our custom people are a lot of fun to make. 

- The new job is going great. Most days are flying by. No complaints there. Yet :p

10 Things I Did This Week

1. I got the call, and have an appointment for counselling. 

2. My boss got Eric and I a free room at one of our resorts, then I luckily won a $15 credit towards the restaurant there. On top of that, my mother is keeping Chloe and his mother is keeping Madilynn Saturday and Sunday nights. We're in for an amazing weekend, I hope. 

3. We bought our BBQ earlier this week.

4. I seem to blog more about '10 Things I Did this Week' than anything else combined lately. Oops. 

5. I'm still pretty obsessed with Big Brother 15. 

6. My mother and nephew came over Monday and spent two nights at our house. I haven't seen my nephew (5 years old) since February. Too long. He and my sister live on the other end of the country right now. We had lunch together at my work on Tuesday. 

[ My first two loves. Have they changed much since last year? ]

7. Wednesday night the girls bugged to go outside, then they really wanted in their wagon and I really wanted candy so before we picked up Eric at work we took a wagon ride to the convenience store. I got them corn twists and they couldn't have been happier. 

8. Eric left work early because he wasn't feeling good. Instead, we both cleaned the house. 

9. Chloe tripped Monday morning and fell on her face. I didn't know the extent of her injuries until we got to daycare and I noticed she had a fat lip. Poor girl :(

10. We watched the second episode of the current Dexter season and I was so exhausted I missed most of it because I couldn't keep my eyes open. 

Summer Fun for the Kiddos

Me and Chloe stayed with my mom from Tuesday morning until Thursday night. My nephew, B., who is four, stayed with us the entire time too. Because we could, we packed the trip with as much fun as we could. Tuesday night we took the kids to the park, Wednesday we took them to a water park and Thursday we took them to the beach. 

There's not a lot I could say about the week, except that it was fun for everyone. I'll just let the pictures do the talking. 

Have you done any fun summer activities lately?
