2019 :: 29/52



Tuesday was super humid again. Trevor had wrestling in the morning and it was the first time I brought Tova with. she did great (there's other little siblings there and a few toys) until the last 10 minutes which is the most fun to watch Trevor during. Trevor's getting better at wrestling and his confidence in doing so! then home to see Al before he had to work (this was day 2 of his 7 day working stretch due to rock fest.) Trevor had t ball after supper; we thought we were gonna get rained on again, but we didn't.

Wednesday was Al's first rock fest shift so he had to work 6p-6a so we got to see him a little bit. the kids and I had sinus/allergy stuff and it was really hot so we didn't go to soccer.

Thursday morning the kids and I went to go school supply shopping but it was so nice out that we went to one of the parks on our summer to do list first. it was a fun park and had a little nature path near it so we walked down that. we also found a mini monarch caterpillar munching on some milk weed. then we went to target and got trevor's school supply list. Al worked 6p-6a again.

Friday Al got home at 630a and had to work at 3p so we didn't get to see him much. I had all 3 Risen kids until about 2; we had fun! I was supposed to go to a comedy show with my friends but a big storm came thru (really hit Al's county) so I cancelled and we went over to matt & Jodi's since I don't do well with storms. then home for bed time.

Saturday morning the kids and I went up to the cities. we stopped by my dad's to pick raspberries but we got rained on after picking like 4 raspberries. mom didn't have any power all day so we stayed at dad's until lunch time then went to mom's for a dark lunch and nap. mom's power came back on about 5p and we just hung out there since mom was leaving at 3am for Colorado for a week.

sunday was our busy day! in the morning we went over to maren's house and went to their cool waterfall splash pad, then back to her house for lunch and nap for tova. while tova napped there, trevor and I went to Luke's 5th birthday party (Shane & Jodi's oldest) that was really close to maren's house. we had fun at the party! then back to pick up tova, drive back to mom's, and mom's neighbor maria came over to watch the kids while I played softball at 4 & 5. it was an early bedtime for all of us.

Monday morning we headed back home but stopped at a new park that was recommended to us in Hudson Wisconsin. it was fun and a gorgeous day but tova ran into another kid and fell flat on her back. after that she wouldn't let me put her down so we headed home. Al was off finally! so we woke him up once we got home. tova had diarrhea most of the day and trevor had soccer. we had early bedtimes again for tired kids and momma.

2019 :: 28/52



Monday morning before heading home, the kids and I stopped at the big park and splash pad in woodbury. we didn't stay too long but we had fun! once home we did sprinkler and pool in the backyard since it was so hot and humid! Al was off, Trevor had soccer.

Tuesday Trevor had wrestling in the morning and t ball got rained out. trevor and I ran to the library after wrestling and menards after t ball got rained out. al and I did a couple house projects we've been meaning to do.

Wednesday we went to the children's museum with jenny and klare (her other 2 girls were in a music camp) and we had fun! then it was soccer night again.

Thursday the kids and I went up to the cities. first we went to the teddy bear park in Stillwater for the first time and met some friends there: my friend from high school Amanda and her 2 kids Owen and Ava who are T & T's ages and then my friend from softball Manda's sister in law who just moved to Stillwater and her 2 kids Zoey (3) and William (1). it was fun but SO busy and it got hot quick. then we went to nana's house for lunch and nap for Tova; while tova napped, trevor and I went over to see Papa and grandpa neil showed up right at the end, too. once tova was awake, we all and mom went to maren's house for supper. it was a good time and included maren's friend Jenny and her family including 3 more kids. it was a busy, fun day!

Friday morning we headed home since Al had the weekend off. once home, we woke Al up and all went to the northern Wisconsin state fair for a couple hours. it was hot but not too bad and we had fun.

Saturday morning we just got stuff done around the house then after nap we went to a get together with some of Al's co workers in bloomer. it was fun and hot and they had a kiddie pool for tova's age kids and a bigger pool for trevor's age and older. there were a bunch of boys in the big pool and trevor had fun playing with them. we ate supper there and got home about 830p. once tova was in bed, I headed for the cities.

sunday morning I went on our annual girls canoe trip! it was so fun and a great, hot day to be on the river! we only got a little sun burnt this year and spend lots of time in the river! it was meg, Shannon, manda and I again this year. we got back to manda's house, I changed quick and headed right to softball. we played at 6&7 and won both! I didn't hit well until the end of the 2nd game. then back to mom's house for a shower and headed home.

Monday morning jenny, klare, and kourtlyn came to play until they had to pick up kali at noon. trevor had soccer and it was the hottest, most humid day ever!! but tova and I made some new friends while watching. then home to enjoy the air conditioning!
