This & That

It's been a busy week, full of organizing, cleaning. and packing. Although I consider myself somewhat of an expert at packing/moving, I feel a little stressed about this move. We have so much to do, and I feel like I've barely made a dent. But, I know it will all come together in time... at least that's what I keep telling myself. If it all fits in one truck is another story. 

In addition to getting ready for the move, we are also helping our landlord find new renters for the house, which means I feel the need to keep the house spotless at all times. Not that I do keep it spotless, I just feel the need to. It's a tad stressful, but at least it motivates me to mop my floors more often than usual. 

We haven't only filled our time with moving-related activities, though. We've spent a few days at Gilroy Gardens, gone to the park, visited the library, and watched an inexcusable amount of movies. I also went on a much needed trip to the bookstore sans kids, thanks to Jay. 

It's been a good summer so far, but I have to admit, I will be happy when Fall makes its appearance again. 

Dex did *not* want to wear a tie on Father's Day. (no, we didn't make him)

Cute Cal is growing up so fast, and getting into everything.

Bea is so ready for kindergarten (but I'm not sure I'm ready to let her go!) 

Natalie bridged from Daisy Girl Scouts to Brownies earlier this summer. She was so excited!
