Nesting, Raffi and Harry. 7QT sorta.

1. Where did June go?

You guys. The 4th of July is next Friday. Like NEXT Friday. That really snuck up on me. July is going to be good though. I am willing it to be.

I think we'll do pulled pork sandwiches for the 4th. That sounds good.

2. The Beginning of Nesting. 

On Wednesday I washed all the dishes. All of them. Like even the lunch dishes moments after we ate lunch. This maybe doesn't sound so nesting like until you keep in mind that I HATE doing dishes and gave up paper plates for Lent because I love them too much.

Last night I cleaned up the living room/dining room, did dishes, wiped down the kitchen counters, a load of laundry and started packing for this weekend. Between 7:30 and 9.

It's that the mess is starting to bug me. I don't know if that counts as nesting. But whatever.

3. Ducks Like Rain. 

By Raffi. I will spare you a link because you either know what I'm talking about or you don't. Someone in the house is obsessed with this song. And sings it all day long. Which is cute. And begs to listen to it all day long. Which is less cute. But only because I am sick of the song. And in fairness he uses his words very nicely to ask. "More Ducks Like Rain Please?" (Hint: The someone I am talking about is not me. Or Husband.)

This morning we've been listening to Raffi's Box of Sunshine. 3 CD Set.

I am a Raffi girl. It was my first concert you know. And I still have my Baby Beluga Concert Tee Shirt. True story.

4. Reading To Do

Which means only one thing. It is time for my yearly re-read of Harry Potter. I used to do the last week of July, a book a day, leading up to Harry's birthday. (July 30 for anyone who is not a complete Harry loser as I am.) I am quite certain that I cannot pull that off this year. So I resolve to 7 books in the month of July. That I can do.

5. Playing Outside

It's been a weird rainy month with lots of interuppted outside play. And when we do get to go outside we have some trouble leaving nature as nature. (Picking flowers. Peeling bark off the tree.) But he has so far left the tomato and pepper plants alone except for the very first day. So... let's call it a draw.

6. I've Got Nothing Left

7. Have a Great Weekend Friends!
