Currently

 When I got home and started blogging nothing would publish. I figured it was because of the wifi and didn't worry about it. I continued writing posts and saving them in my offline folder. But then they still wouldn't post. I reached out to Blogtouch (my app) and they said they no longer support the app. :((( It's so easy to use and I'm still not a great blogger, so without it I don't know what I'll do. Sarah said she just does it from her phone without the app, so I copied everything I'd already written and have been working on adding the photos back in and it's been a real pain. I have one more already written post and then we'll see how easy it is to use. Also, all of my deleted pictures keep showing back up in my camera roll and I am just not technologically savvy enough for all these issues. Anyways.

Alli came down monday and we went grocery shopping together and then spent the day hanging out. The girls went on a sister shopping excursion so everyone enjoyed sissy time. That night the field hocky team had a Panda Express fundraiser and I was like SOLD! Adi picked it up and it is so nice having another driver!

Speaking of another driver. I was looking at our insurance stuff and noticed they have a safe pilot program that provides discounts if you use an app to track your driving. We all downloaded it and looks like we're saving $200 for our 6 month premium, but now I'm big nervous about driving. Not me stopping fully at every stop sign (even the dumbest one in Clark's Rest) and driving just above the speed limit. Also, my copilot always manages my phone, so how's that gonna work?  Jury's still out, but hopefully it doesn't backfire on me.

We've had lovely quiet days mostly at home. Lots of projects and relaxing and tv time. Photo of a cord someone didn't put back properly to show a) the girls the need to put it back properly and b) the blog the fact that we're doing projects. You know how I love an organizational project.
On Tuesday night at the pool Delaney and I were talking about our last week before school starts and wanting to go see a movie and with everyones schedules we didn't have time on a tuesday or wednesday - AMC's half price days. And then we got the idea to go that night. So at 9:00 we headed to Waldorf. We stopped at Burlington first and got some back to school clothes and then to our late night movie and it was fun to be spontaneous and also to be out at night because we're not usually.

Wednesday brought Adi school meetings for freshman advisory and Frankie's first day of cheer tryouts. I made a kale shrimp salad that 3/5 of us liked and 2/5 ate practically with their noses held. After family movie night we went for a walk to try to see the meteor showers, but no luck. The youth pool party was cancelled because of rain so that was a bummer.

This morning i cooked up our second butter braid of the week (cleaning out freezers) and also bacon that we brought home from tennessee and it's always nice to put out pretty things.
Our canal trip has been popping up in my facebook memories and this shot made me tear up. It's a good reminder to no matter what just take the trip. Forever grateful we did.
Also, I was on the fence about bringing this cute cup home from the Stampede, but I guess the dishwasher decided for me not to keep it.
