A Sunday at home

Most Sundays in the summer, you'll find our family up at the lake. We love it, with wonderful extended family with which to spend time as well as lots of fun stuff to do.

However, today we decided to stay home. Between camping, the new puppy, work on the basement, and catching up on housework, we had a lot to do. We primed all of the walls in the basement (Caroline and Henry helped too!), trimmed all of the bushes, and did an insane amount of laundry. The kids were helping to put the camping stuff away, cleaning up the playroom and their rooms, and taking care of the dog. As much as we missed the lake today, it was good to have an extra weekend day to get things done. It felt good to be so productive!

After all of our work, we had a little family night. Tomorrow is Dave's and my 13th wedding anniversary, so we all went out to dinner to celebrate. We came straight home afterwards to go play in the backyard with Moxie. I took this picture of the boys after we came in for the night...can you tell they got their exercise and had a fun time?!
