Life Lately

We had a great week this past week. We hopefully sold Cam's white car, and Jar started his new job (which went well). I had to do a lot of dropping off and picking up for Jar at work, but that should settle down a bit, as he worked 43 hours last week. He should hopefully be at 20-25 hours a week.

Here is what has been happening around here lately...

...Michael spray painted the vinyl top of Cam's white car to be ready to sell

...Cam picked up a steering wheel cover for his new Subaru

...Jar's daily breakfast before work

...I picked up some books from the Library

...the boys worked the same hours, so they drove together to work (that was weird)

...I enjoyed my breakfast outside before doing yard work (weeding and watering flowers)

...this was my sidekick

...I took Lily for a walk in the yard. She wasn't sure about it

...after yard work, I did some reading

...later in the afternoon, I sat in the lawn chair with Lily

...Cam washed and detailed his car (he said it was a lot easier than the white car)

...my flowers are starting to fill in a little bit more

Other happenings around here:

• Jar started his new job and worked five days in a row (one of the days was a 6-3 shift)
• Michael and I got a lot done around the house
• Michael watched John Wick 2 by himself...I did not really like the first one
• I cleaned all of the house

Life Lately

We have had a few really busy weeks. Jar got a job kind of spur of the moment. We had planned on him getting a job maybe next spring, but one became available now, and so we just went for it. Cam has been very busy with college and work. We also spur of the moment bought a car for Cam. It was a lot of spur of the moment kind of stuff this month.
