We have been keeping busy! We have been embracing the local
community/friends for entertainment. The fair parade was the best weather I
have experienced in my 7 years of Washington Town and Country Fair Parades! The
boys had friends over for a sleepover… and what is more entertainment than
adding two extra kids to the mix!?!? :)

I have mostly enjoyed this month… but there have been a few inconveniences
(it wouldn’t be a fast if it wasn’t, right?) Shopping local… this is great,
sometimes pricey, but great. The problem I have with it comes solely from my inability
to always plan ahead. There are no local stores that are open 24 hours so that
I can have the opportunity to think, process, and shop alone after everyone has
gone to bed or before everyone wakes up. I must do my shopping after 7am or
before 8pm. This becomes a problem when I have slim to no food in the house, a
husband that leaves for work at 5:30am, and 2 extra kids… a.k.a. more kids than
spaces in a car to go to the store. This makes for creative thinking. I had no
cereal, no milk, no bread… and 6 hungry children for breakfast. What did I have…
cans of biscuits and lots of fruit! This became my first attempt at homemade donuts.
I was a tad scared of burning them or being doughy in the middle… but they were
AWESOME! I will be doing it again… soon!
The clothes line is finished! My awesome husband participates
(unwillingly… but participates none the less) in all my crazy adventures. I appreciate
him so greatly for it. He didn’t ask or want to do any of it, but he does it
anyway. :) I haven’t got to hang clothes out yet because it always looks like
it could rain at any moment, but tomorrow looks promising!
We spent the day trying to embrace the last moments of summer
before school starts. We spent a couple hours at the library picking out all the
fun books they want to read before getting back into the school routine. I found
a couple of books to help me through the rest of this month and one to start
preparing for the next fast. We supported the local SnoBiz for one last shaved
ice… it was good! And found some more cloth napkins at a second hand store
(though a tad over priced if I do say so myself).
Tomorrow has 2 projects in the plans and hopefully some
clothes on the clothes line!
Thanks for joining me on the journey!
