Coolin' down on a hot Saturday


After a couple of stormy days and nights, we have clear skies and hot weather. The combination of rain and sun over the last week has gotten my lawn into poor shape. I spent about 2 1/2 hours mowing and clipping branches in the sun and need a break. So...here's a recap of what I've been doing.

Last Saturday was my Birthday. I'm 29 this year. Yay! Ha ha, I won't let age get me down. I spent a nice, quiet day at home with the kids. It was a nice Birthday. I'm not much for parties about me, anymore. Save those for the kids. I'm just happy to have a break.

On Sunday I took the kids to Lake Huron. The water was still chilly, but we went swimming anyway. It was fun. We made sandcastles, played with tadpoles and got sunburned, despite multiple sunscreenings (XD).

Monday was Cameron's Birthday. All of the kids got to talk with him. We can't really get him anything until he comes back home. He's already spent a bunch of money on shipping the rest of his things back here.

Tuesday through Friday were mostly spent on homework and playing with the kids. Thus I am stuck doing yard work and cleaning the house today. I'll try to put some time in drawing and having fun, too.

I included a fairly recent watercolor painting, which can also be found on my DevaiantArt account here.
