I realized while almost falling asleep that lately the blog has become less witty and less well, angry. It has become more, happy -ish and picture-y. Random question – Does anyone else have epiphanies and clear minds when they’re on the brink of sleep? Anyway. Witty doesn’t always come naturally to me. Especially when I spend a lot of my time reading books I don’t find interesting. It fills my brain with uninteresting and dull things, and then I feel dull and uninteresting. My wittiness leaves me, so you get pictures instead.
I like the pictures better.
Last week was Ashley’s birthday, so we had a dinner for her on Sunday at the lake. Brandon’s mom made the highly desired ice cream cake. I think Ashley liked it. A lot.
Brandon finally decided to put up the tire swing (with no heckling from me, course). There was much fun to be had on the tire swing, and both Erik and Ashley got lots of enjoyment out of it.
I did manage to get some cute pictures of Erik and Ashley. Well, and Brandon did, too.
There’s nothing better than having dirty knees and enjoying summer to the fullest. It’s always better when you have family to spend it with, because it always ends in lots of laughs.
Speaking of laughs – Leroy got a little jealous when Ashley was up on the tire swing. Or he was being overprotective. Either way, he got a little frisky about her being up there. And there was lots of jumping. And giggling.
All pictures compliment of Brandon.
It has been quite cold for June in lovely CNY – in fact so cold I’m sitting in a sweatshirt, pants, and Brandon’s obnoxiously large hunting socks. So we haven’t been doing much of that loving summer thing. In fact, there has been much of the staying in the house and catching up on homework while we wait until it properly heats up thing. At least we had last weekend.
Even if there were a couple of minor falls.
I bid you all a fond farewell. I have a busy next few days, so if you don’t hear from me, best wishes, and here’s to hoping the sun is out there somewhere.
