Today Lilly went from going down the slide once to twelve times in a row (with my help). That feels like a big day.

More construction, cement pouring, huge excitement to have a cement mixer pull up at 7:15 am, but I was ready for it!

After taking Luke and Lil out for some food

I dropped off Luke at Camp and went to the park with Lil. She was all ablaze and after experimenting with the slides for the last few weeks, she finally went bonkers, twelve trips in one morning!

Then we came home and after two days in a row of itinerant, driving naps I finally decided to see if she could fall asleep with a air compressor and reciprocating saws going on in the background. the answer is…..

Yes!

As we expected, our pretty hectic journey begins.

But all in all I feel things went well. Got some food into the kids, got Luke to school on time, Lily is napping away in the car while I catch up on my iPhone and eat gut bending hamburgers sitting under a freeway overpass.

Awoke at 7:15 to my cement guy in the yard looking at the deck he is going to remove, that was our wake up call, I mean like they waived at us!!

Jackhammers started at 8:15a and then we busted out of there. Hungry and under caffeinated we went to the park, eventually had some cranky kids and came home to a jackhammer house. I then drove Lily around to get her to fall asleep, wound up in the deep Valley at a car wash (best thing to do with a little one asleep in the back, exterior only!). Came home, went to the beach. almost aborted going to the beach, got to the beach and had a BLAST!

Mommy Sunday I went down to Home Depot to get MORE bins to put MORE stuff in becasue tomorrow is “D: day on the kitchen renovation and Luke says to me. “dad, I have been told on my phone, which is called blue, that all the home depts are being converted to Lego stores.” I asked him for a little more detail over our PB&J’s at lunch and he added that they were being converted to either Lego stores OR farms. This is really good use the our country.

Another day of getting ready for the house remodel onslaught. Another day of not eating or drinking water until I had a throbbing headache.

But, it was Luke’s first visit to a Coinstar!

I love Coinstar and when I found a jar of coins in the kitchen I figured it was time to share my love with Luke. Of course he enjoyed the process of stuffing the coins in, and watching the counter tally your “winnings”. We amassed $22.34 and proceeded into Ralph’s Supermarket to purge our proceeds.

First stop. Fage Greek Yogurt 10/10 sale (Ralph’s Club Members only), then we spy a sale on Luke’s favorite juice company called Simply Juice. Normally around 4.69 a jug, sometimes 3.69 a jug, but today at Ralph’s (with club card only) buy five jugs, $2.69 each!

Done!

The checkout at Ralph’s shows us that our total for the ten Fage yogurts and five jugs of Simply Juice is $22.94, so I owe them exactly fifty cents. I was ecstatic! Yup, that’s my life.
