I feel like I can exhale for the first time in months. We've finished the bedroom floor. (And by we I mean mostly Dominick) So we could finally move our bedroom furniture out of the garage and Dominick's room and the hallway. We've finished all the major furniture arranging and most of the boxes are unpacked. My awesome, huge, super spacious garage, that I was so excited about, still looks like an episode of hoarders but all that's left are small, manageable projects that don't have to get done right away for life to feel sane. And so, life feels sane again. And, for the first time in months, things feel good. Peaceful. Fun.
So here's what we've been doing. We took a trip to a much smaller than we were expecting, local aquarium.
But since it was free admission day, we didn't complain much.
Checking out some big sea shells.
Examining sea monkeys.
After our very short tour, we were right on the bay and it was incredibly hot, so the kids decided to jump in the water for a bit.
We watched two crabs fight over a fish. They both had half of it in a claw and neither were letting go. Eventually, they scurried out to sea so we didn't get to see who won but it's safe to say, it wasn't the fish. Dominick and Aravis spent the rest of the time hunting for marine life. Aravis caught an anchovy and Dominick caught a jellyfish.
We had a great visit with friends who came up for the afternoon.
We took walks and climbed trees,
played on playgrounds,
and finally made it to the beach.
The kids had some friends come up for a few days and it was fun to have a house full of kids again.
It's been a good week.
Our house is starting to feel like home.
