What's going on?

Jacob turned six last month. We had the party at Dutler's Bowl. All the kids had fun bowing and playing games. It's been a busy summer. Jacob is in soccer and t-ball so that takes up four of our evenings each week. Lots of fun though. Jacob can't get enough of sports. Eli is pretty much potty-trained. He just needs a pull-up during naps and overnight. What a relief that is.

Last weekend we went camping near Fairmont at Flying Goose Campground. It went pretty well. We only stayed one night and we had nice weather. More than one night and I start to get cranky. I did get a bit frustrated when it came time to set up the tent. The campsites we had were pretty much filled by the RVs and the camper. So we had to squeeze into a spot barely as big as our tent. And there is no soft grass anymore. I guess no one tents these days.

We are staying put this weekend. We're working on painting the toy room and the bedroom. The plan is to paint then get new carpeting in those rooms and the window room. I hope it turns out nice. I always worry when making decoration/color decisions. But Sandy has a good eye for that, so it should be OK. The ceiling in the loft has had some water damage in the past. So when we tried painting, all the popcorn stuff came down. Ugh...

I decided to give golfing another go this summer. But I'm already about fed up. By the seventh hole I am hot, tired, frustrated and wondering why in God's name I got out of bed early. First time out at Minneopa I got a 60. Next time a 63. Today I got a 70. So as you can see, I'm on the fast track to success. I guess I should stick to pool and Sorry Card Revenge. I rock at that game!
