If anyone has been wondering what we’ve been up to lately (Hi, Grandma and Grandpa!), we’ve been doing a little of everything. The boys have been playing outside like crazy (soaking up the last of summer). We’ve been trying to work on a few projects like the side porch/theater.
Saturday night we headed over to the park to hear Little River Band in concert. 
Leif thought it was terrific, but he wanted to dance all over the place (running here and there), so we had to take a walk.
The night was beautiful!
We headed to our car when the last song was playing. We watched the whole fireworks show from there. The view was terrific…and no crowds! (Pretty pitiful picture. It really was a nice display!)
Russ went out early the next morning with Leif to chase hot air balloons.
Later that evening we had a belated birthday party for Leif. 
Monday night we played softball at my parents house, again. No pictures. What was I thinking?!
I have some fun photos to show you of an event going on this week. Maybe I’ll have them up Friday.
Other than that, it is normal life around here. School should probably start next week. The school room is an abysmal disaster, and I have tons of planning to do!
The book stack on my bedside table is ridiculous. The Olympics really cut into my reading time.
Library fines are piling up. My laundry pile has overtaken my bedroom… I know. I’m killing you with all the excitement.
What about you? What are you up to this week? Ready for school to start? (Or has it already started?) Does it feel like summer still lingers, or is it heading out the door?
