Day 3,397

Thankful for: 

A good day of work. 

Time with Adelyn and Tobin. We went to Trader Joe's, Costco, Barnes and Noble, and Food Lion. We got lots of fun treats at Trader Joe's and Costco. They both went and picked out a book at Barnes and Noble with a gift card I had, and they went in together to purchase fruit for the fruit salad I'm making for tomorrow's party. It's nice to be able to send them into the store for things while I wait in the car with groceries or Artemis. 

An easy dinner. Soup for Addy and me. Mac and cheese for Tobin. 

Our cool home on this hot, horrible weather day. 

A morning walk with Artemis before it got too hot. 

A long weekend coming up. 

The way the forest looks in the morning. 

Mushrooms growing everywhere.

Thankful for: 

Puppy class. 

A visit with my aunt and uncle. Artemis got to meet them, meet their sweet dogs, and go swimming in the pool. It was a fun visit. 

Addy had horseback riding class.  

We had delicious bagel sandwiches for breakfast. 

We had Moo Thru on the way home. Artemis had a pup cup too, and she loved it.  

We all came home and slept. It's so good to nap.  

My family came over for dinner. We had burgers, hot dogs, tots, salad, and frappuccinos, and slushies for dessert.

Dinner, dessert, and pretty places.
