The morning smoothie was a crunchie as we couldn’t take the blender apart to put it together properly. Picked up Chloe’s flute from the repair place. Lunch at Souper Jenny’s. Camille went to L5P on her own to buy some comics. An outing to the Farmer’s Market. Dog park and pool time in the evening.

Spring cleaning, Day 2 : More bedroom work and some craft box work too. After work, I went to volunteer at the Red Cross for a few hours. As our special treat, Chloe and I went to “The Fault in Our Stars”. I won free tickets to a pre-release showing — since it doesn’t open

Our first Monday of Summer Break! We planned to use the first week for doing a good spring cleaning around the condo – a variant of our old “Room of the Week”. The girls tackled their closet, dressers and other disaster areas on their room. For a break, we walked over to Fellinis, dropping Chloe’s

While Rob went kayaking, the girls and I had a bit of a “get things done”/decompression day at the cabin. I made a small dent in my to-do list. Camille made macaroons (a day late). Chloe played with her new phone. After a quiet day, we headed home to Decatur where we quickly unpacked.

First day of summer break! To celebrate, Camille, Rob and I went to the dentist for our teeth cleaning! While at the dentist, I won movie passes for “The Fault in Our Stars”. Back at home, we cleaned up and packed up and headed to the cabin for a short weekend in the woods.

Up early to get work done and to catch up from the day before. But kept having setbacks. First, an upgrade in PHP broke many of the wordpress installations, themes and widgets I installed, and I had to figure out how to clean up the mess. Then the HVAC guy came early – before Rob

I got up early to get a bunch of things done. Camille walked with me over to the courthouse. Mid-morning I was chosen for a jury panel. After a day of the lawyers questioning the jury panel, I was finally struck at 6:30. While I was on one break, Camille walked by me on her

Phelix was a tired boy today! Sleepaway camp always wears him out. The girls headed off to school. I worked during the morning, then did carpool in the afternoon. In the evening, I tried to catch up on various projects, but was too worn out and tired to get very far on any of them.

After breakfast, we broke down the camp, loaded the car and raced home. We made it just in time to go to Little Shop to hear Tony DiTerlizzi speak and sign his latest book for us. He even drew a fairy R2D2! I picked up groceries, then Phelix, then Rob at the rental car place.

We had a lovely day at LEAF. Exploring, listening to music, playing. Chloe participated in the teen poetry slam. For dinner, we got a pizza – always love getting a pizza from the pizza oven in the middle of the field. We ended up chatting with the president of the LEAF board. Chloe and I
