We have a great system for lake living this summer. Brady works Tuesday through Thursday, so we drive to the lake after work, stay the long weekend, and come home on Monday. So while we are loving the setup, we are running from one to the next pretty exclusively! Hahaha! ZERO complaints! But these three days in between lake weekends are busy.
Yet. We have a bit of a groove going, and its working.
I won’t get into every detail of our groove by any means, but I will show you what everyone is up to this very moment.
The house is not all put together, but honestly, it is somewhat! Dishes are done. Laundry is caught up, though clearly not put away. The kids have done their jobs. And now, we have music pumping, and all the kids are happily occupied while I work on my jobs!
In this case, Rowan and Solly both opted to play Lego. Wavy is cracking out her brand new first set of lego from her birthday, and Laela is helping her assemble it. Dekker was gifted some carving tools just today, so he was playing with some wood scraps from the garage, learning how to use his set.
Absolutely everyone is settled and content.
So I have been able to run around, collecting clothes for the upcoming weekend, packing my own bag, and making some notes here and there. I’m as organized as I think I can be! This afternoon will hold more organization and listing, and tomorrow is the final pack and prep of meals.
These three days are packed, but worth it! Whatever gets us to the lake! 💜
