Besides many hours spent at the pool this week, we cleaned O’s room, rearranged our room, watched much HGTV, Food Network, Little Couple (love them!), Stager Invasion (her Dad MAKES the show!), made a lemon pound cake, and a mixed berry pie.
(Sadly, my exercise has fallen by the wayside, and the eating of desserts has not.)
Also, after numerous trips to Joann’s and JC Penney, I think I’ve narrowed down my paint and curtain color choices for the dining room and living room. Big stuff for only the last week of June!
O lovin' on her Daddy after a game of Clue Jr.
The fun of playing board games is ongoing. Olivia now fully ‘gets’ Monopoly. Girlfriend aggressively buys property, and is beyond gleeful when she can buy Park Place and Boardwalk.
And when she is saving money to buy houses, nothing can deter her.
“Nope, not gonna buy that, I’m saving money to buy houses!”
Did you know that the rent on only 3 houses on Park Place is $1200??
So... even though Warren and I usually end up mortgaged to the hilt, we’re thinking this might be a good thing if she approaches life with this same tenacity.

After all, if there really are places named Marvin Gardens and Boardwalk, she might have mercy on her parents in their old age and we’ll have a dandy place to live.
