Iron Pigs

Yesterday I had told the kids I would make them French toast for breakfast. Then I remembered that it would take forever on our stovetop and decided it wasn't worth it. We are waiting to get our new appliances installed until after the cabinets are installed, and we still have a couple of weeks left. The burners on the stove that's there now are really small, so even if I use a big pan, only the center cooks. It's very frustrating! Brett had the idea to cook it in the pan on the grill instead. So there we were, at 6:30 this morning, out on the deck grilling French toast. 😊 I'm sure we were quite the sight, but you know what? It worked! It was good too! He's so smart. 😁

When we went to the library on Friday, I picked out a book that I knew nothing about. It was on an end cap and said Oprah's Book Club on the front, so I thought it must be pretty good if she would make it part of her book club. It's called Where the Heart Is, by Billie Letts. Oh my goodness, it's so good I cannot put it down! I spent most of today reading before I decided I better do some cleaning. I'm so ready for them to get back here and get the construction done so I don't feel like there is a mess everywhere! They've been working on a roof for over a week... hopefully they will get it finished soon!

The views were beautiful once again when we went to pick up the boys. I wonder if the other parents in the pick-up line think I'm looney for taking a picture every day? 😂

Neither one of the boys was feeling well after school. Talan was up with a bellyache early this morning. I hope they aren't coming down with something. They are rarely sick, so I'm thinking maybe they swallowed too much water at Splash Country yesterday. They were not looking forward to going to the park tonight, but they were troopers!

Easton had practice and got his uniform. He wanted the number he had last year, #4, but it was taken. His second choice was #12, Brett's college and coaching number.

Talan had his first baseball game tonight. His team is the Iron Pigs. 😂 Unfortunately, his uniform is not in yet, so he got one last chance to play for McDonald's. I'm sure he wishes it was with his teammates from last year! 😞

It was a rough game and we ended up losing. The majority of our team is young for the league and the other team was an older team. Talan likes playing either way, and that's all that matters!
