Weekends of Memorial Day and May 31st

The world looks cool through shades!

Memorial Day weekend was spent at home, but not lazily. Forest had class on Saturday (can you believe that???) so we were “grounded”. It turned out to be a good thing though because we had a TON to do around the house. We made a long list of “jobs” and got most everything done. I even planted my veggie garden (my friend Sara came over and helped – we are doing a mini co-op this year because Forest said I couldn’t have a garden again unless I got help with it!).

Mom!! I think Dad has finally totally lost it!!!

The weekend of May 31st, Forest and I went up to Mt. Pleasant to clean apartments. We had a great group of tenants this year – not a single eviction! We have resigned all except 1 of the apartments (about par for the course for this time of year) for next year. This may be the last year we go up to do some of the cleaning ourselves (Forest is hoping so at least!).

While we were in Mt. Pleasant, Mary, Gary, Kelsea and Trevor watched Sienna for us. The stranger anxiety is really improving, so she warmed right up to them immediately (she may also be remembering them better now in between visits) and (reportedly) didn’t cry a single tear when we left!! It seems that everything went really well. She slept well and ate them out of house and home! One of the cutest things was that they got out this old slide and set it up in their living room. Sienna was a pro by the time we got back on Sunday, she would climb up – stick her legs out, sit down and fly down the slide and land on her butt laughing! The Logan’s also taught her how to bark like a puppy and “what does Mary say” (pat hand on mouth while making noise). Kelsea swears that Sienna said “Kelsea” at one point, but we’ve yet to hear that repeated.

Is this thing stable????

Personally, I prefer something with a heavy drum beat



YOU eat it!



A bigger nose would be helpful!




Reading upsidedown is a skill, you know!







...and....here is what the parents were dealing with while Sienna had all that fun!!
