Summer Break: Week Three

Our third week of summer break was quiet and a bit rainy. Tropical Storm Bill sauntered ashore Tuesday and had little impact in Houston, except to scare everyone into thinking it would be a repeat of the horrible Memorial Day floods. Our Tuesday swim and art classes were canceled and we had a quiet day inside.

Here's a quick look at what we did this week:

Last Sunday, our church celebrated the Sacrament of Matrimony with cake, mimosas, and whole spread of food. It happened to fall on my parents' wedding anniversary, which made it extra special!

Before the rain: we headed to Barnes and Noble with our finished reading logs.  

Grilling and chilling on Tuesday (the day Tropical Storm Bill came ashore).

Lots and lots of free play: building cool marble runs with our Q Ba Maze.

A little yoga in the morning.

We had a busy Thursday, running errands and heading to two libraries. Gene was traveling, so the boys and I treated ourselves to dinner at the new Barnaby's in the Museum District! They give the kids Cubebots to play with while they wait for their food. We are in the Museum District A LOT and are thrilled to have another dining option.

Despite visiting the Looscan Library on Thursday morning, we had to go to the Montrose Library after dinner to get more books. Will's latest obsession is Goosebumps.

I finally ordered our Tastebook! I have been compiling our favorite recipes for five years on the Tastebook website and finally took the time to edit/review the first 100 recipes and have them printed. Our Tastebook arrived on Thursday night. I think the boys were just as excited as I was to have the book in print!

Summer is flying by!
