Fencing

Katja has been a big help getting the new fence in place. Earlier this year I stained the boards I needed a hat in the sun. I dug the post hole Stablized I taught her how to use a clamp as a third hand.

Blueberries

So I buy blueberries for my kids and they leave them til they mold. The neighbors’ bush goes ripe and they pick three quarts and eat nothing but blueberries all day.

Christmas in July

Our original Christmas plans were interrupted this year and we developed new Christmas plans on the fly. We had selected these tricycles for our kids and I didn’t wanna put them inside and I wanted to build a enclosed area for bikes and such but that has not happened.

Swimming and not

Being a solo parent is hard. Sometimes it can mean taking your kids with you to do the thing you do. I Swim in the mornings to keep my sanity. But this means figuring out what my little girl can do without me while I swim.
