Daunted

Today Abe and I were daunted by all we had to do, but we made it through! We decluttered the house and gave away about three giant garbage bags of toys to the neighborhood kids. (I did make them clear it with their parents, first.) Then we gave the rest to DI.

Abe and I also planted a lot of flowers and Abe worked on the garden. Then we grocery shopped and threw a BBQ chicken cobb salad together for dinner. It was actually so much prettier before the picture! There are at least three layers hidden under the visible layers because I couldn’t fit all of the stripes in the small frame of the bowl. But Abe insisted on a picture anyway:

shucking corn.

After dinner otter pop.

After dinner we put the kids down and Abe helped clean while I cooked for the week. Probably the kids won’t eat any of it anyway so the effort will be wasted…but I tried this week. (Last week I didn’t cook on Saturday and we ate a LOT of chick Fil-A.)
