happy tuesday! i hope you had a nice weekend. we are getting a ‘break’ in our missouri summer heatwave. and by break, i mean it’s in the 90s instead of the 100s. 🙂

we did a lot of swimming this weekend. everett finally got super brave and swam without his floaties. YAY! he did last summer, but was timid around the water this year. if you saw any of my instastories, i’m sure you saw him going down the slide and off the diving board (or jumpin’ board, as he calls it). i’m soooo proud of my little fish!

and speaking of brave. eleanor seriously does NOT know fear. girlfriend was jumping off the side of the pool by herself! i couldn’t believe it. (before you judge me – she had floaties on AND i was right there) i never remember everett being that fearless. we have a little spitfire on our hands, i’m afraid.

we did hit up the local farmers market before pooling it on saturday. i think the heat scared a lot of vendors away, but we scored some fresh/local produce to make our pizzas for family game night! donuts for breakfast at the new little icecream place in the morning and snocones before heading out. YUM.

did you guys have crazy storms like us? the lightening was like a strobe light outside and the wind was insane! we didn’t have any damage, but several of our neighbors lost trees and patio sets. thankfully we cleared our patio off for viewings of the house. our one neighbors had a play log cabin for his daughter and it was down by the woods! definitely tornadic winds.

your day is almost over – hang in there!
