Last drop

We have been enjoying the last days of summer around here. School supplies have been purchased. Kasper has had one orientation at the middle school. School will start before we know it!

We started chores and allowance (again). We got out of the habit a couple years ago but the kids were asking for money so we've started back up. They get half of their allowance just for living in the house and the other half for cleaning 1 bathroom and vacuuming one floor each. This was the first full week and they're doing great. It takes a couple weeks to make a habit so my expectations are still pretty low. We have learned that Marlo loves doing the dishes. 

One of my cousins moved about a mile from us! They had use of a family cabin this week so some of my family had a lake night Friday. Kasper is so good with littler kids, he and my cousin's son had fun. 

Fall is coming!

We celebrated my niece and sister's birthday yesterday! We got home at the exact moment a crazy storm hit and Rob had to strip down to undies quick to get the hot tubs cover on and rescue patio chairs that were blowing away. 

Whew! This week is going to be a busy one then the week after we start school! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
