Today was off to Costco for resupply. I had four of the crew with me today. They were all very excited to go get some pizza!
Busy Monday!

Mondays are always busy. Back in the saddle with Volleyball, the week started early with drop off and pick ups. Then it was back to the books with the kids getting back into their subjects. We had a pretty good day for Evan getting his work done; Arya had some struggles with recalling how to do math.
But that was partially made up for by Randal, coming to take her away and saying “I need tuggles [snuggles]”!
Then the kids were off to music lessons, but Arya has shifted to Choir club.
Project day!

Jalapeno Cheddar loaf! I’m working on the lamination technique to get the inclusions spread about a bit more evenly.
Pushing on despite the heat!

More work on the bathroom. I got up early and got in the attic and got the old wires pulled, and more new wire run, as well as the network cable.
A view of the existing bathroom fan that is/was venting to the attic. The yellow wire is the new wire for the bathroom.
Busy Wednesday…
Obligatory goat video!
Today was busy, I spent time up in the attic, but didn’t take pictures, chasing wires and trying to get things sorted. I spent some time hunting down a missing ground on a couple outlets. I found two ground wires not connected, and fixed them, but that wasn’t the final answer – still missing the ground, so more hunting is necessary!

Jarek, and the others, have been working on their typing lessons. There are a couple typing games on TuxTyping that they like to play. Here, Evan and Garrett look on as Jarek tries his hand at it.
End of the pool :-(

Randal helps to prepare French Toast for breakfast! both he and Garrett are big into helping cook. The big three also can cook, at varying levels. Evan is always fond of whipping himself up some pancakes for breakfast, too.
A lazy Sunday!

A couple of videos for today. We start with goat shenanigans of a seemingly stuck Zanzi.
A rainy birthday party!

Checking on the crumb of my jalapeno cheddar loaf. I see that the inclusions were all grouped toward one end, which looks to me to be an artifact of my shaping process. So, I will adjust that the next time!.
