...or so the saying goes. But I'm not sure if that counts for a once a week habit. So maybe after 21 weeks of posting I'll have it down! I'm starting to really look forward to this time of the week though - and that goes a long way towards committing to a habit.
So this week flew by -- but then again don't they all. Most of the week was beautiful but on Thursday it got really cloudy. Usually not a big deal - except that Francesca is part of a group of church friends who formed a Young Naturalists Club and this weekend was their camp out. So all day Friday I watched weather.com and contemplated whether to gather the camping things or NOT. When it started raining here I threw in the towel. Camping in the rain is one thing, but setting up in the rain is really not fun! Francesca was heartbroken. This camping trip was just me and her- since Barry has to work on Saturdays - and Tori said thanks, but no thanks. The kids are quite a bit younger than she is. Anyway, we promised to set up the tent in the back yard and sleep out there Saturday night. About 8:30 I went outside to see if Francesca was ready to get in the tent for the night -- she asked me if we HAVE to sleep outside. Well you know I jumped on that, "No sweetheart, we don't have to sleep out here -- we'll just keep the tent up a couple of days to play in it." Yipee!! A 2nd reprieve from sleeping on the ground. I was especially relieved since the rain had turned everything so muggy and sticky. Today was really hot and humid -- bring on the fall weather please!
One consolation about missing the trip was that we could participate in Barry's work picnic. And this year they had a moon bounce. Since most of the employees are older, there aren't many kids. Victoria, Francesca and Whitney had the whole thing to themselves. Whitney is 17 and her family and ours are in the same ward at church, her dad is Barry's boss.
They had a great time even if the pics aren't great (taken on Tori's cell) you can still tell their having fun!

It looks like they had fun on the moon bounce. Also, I would be happy to not sleep outside as well. I don't know when it happened but sleeping outside has gone from fun to hard. I yes I am grown up.
that was Kira not Chris.
