Summer Break almost over

It's been a pretty busy summer. I simply couldn't blog.

Little updates:

We had visitors for 7 weeks straight :-P

Our fishy died

Our bunny died

Our good friends daughter died suddenly of a heart attack and other not so fun things to deal with came up as well.

Our boys are growing. D is 2 years and 2 months old, and L is now 6 months old. He's almost crawling, that is for the past month and a half he's been "almost crawling". He just wants to play so badly with his big brother. Our yard is coming along, we decided to leave the pond project for next year. I've had soooo many stawberries, and some potatoes and tomatoes and I started the brocoli late, so we're still waiting. (I also have lots of Chard, but don't really have any recipes to use it for, I'm not even sure if it's good in a salad? Any suggestions would be appreciated)

I won't start blogging again until we start our somewhat "official" school year. I am not talking about heavy duty school hours, but I am starting a new regular program, with D and a little bit with L, and schedule for running the house and daily activities. I will share all of this with you at the start of next month.

Today I am also working on a "Monthly" dinner menu accompanied by the corresponding grocery lists for the month. As I have blogged about before, I learned a few tricks from Erin Thiele's book Workers @ Home and one of the points she brought out was to make monthly dinner menus which means that if you have no meal repeating through the month, you will be having a certain meal only 13 times in the whole years, which is really not bad when you think about it... anyhoo, I'll leave this for a later post and will share my menu with you then.

I will also show you our new home gym and our new school/family room in later posts.

Ciao for now

Enjoy the rest of your summer

See you in September.
