We were all so tired from Thursday, we opted for an indoor, more relaxing form of fun. I hosted board games at our house. Big kids played board games. Middle kids created rainbow loom charms. Little kids ran around with Nerf bows and arrows until it started to rain, and all kids played Telestrations and Uno.
For lunch, we had a homemade calzone making extravaganza, and whipped up a triple batch of calzones of every filling. plain cheese and olives, pepperoni, Canadian bacon and pineapple, and a "gourmet" creation with the first two tomatoes from the garden, fresh basil, garlic, mozzarella, and artichoke hearts. Sooo delicious. We all are until we were sick!
Aaron took friday off, so after the Shaws left, we worked in the yard to dig out and level the ground for the green house. It was back breaking and the heat was brutal, but the foundation is almost framed ready. The ground in Ar is solid rock and I am super sore today.
Fri night, Aaron had a church visit. I made chicken quesadillas and let the kids eat on a blanket in the living room and watch a movie on Netflix while I caught up on laundry. We all decided that this was too anticlimactic and no way to end such a fun filled week, so a few new field trips and bonus days have been added to Camp Wild and are on the July calendar. Stay Tuned, Willies!
Camp Wild has been one of the greatest weeks ever. The kids have been in a state of constant happiness. Taking my children to new places and watching them explore and discover this amazing world we live in has to be one of the best perks of motherhood. Yes, I am utterly, totalky, and completely exhausted. I'm mentally tired and physically tired from being on the go all day and caring for an infant by night. It's sooo been worth it. As much as I say it was all for them. It refreshed my love for motherhood. Camp Wild was a gift for me, as well.
