Mark left on his trip to Missouri for work late this afternoon for the week. I am hoping to keep the kids and I busy enough so that we don't have to sulk around the house for his return. I've been ambitious enough to come up with a plan to keep us entertained, active, but most of all distracted! I'm hoping that I will be able to live up to this ambition and actually do all that I have planned :) I suppose the content of the next week of blog posts should tell the truth...
On house projects-we finished painting our bedroom this week, so this completes the painting upstairs. I am hoping to have the basement completed before August. Although I love to paint, and have been recruited by many in the past to help with projects because of this love, I must say I have become rather burnt out. I asked Mark to help paint the majority of the basement, otherwise I'm afraid it would not get done! Being the great handy man that he is, he's agreed to help paint the notorious K-State purple walls of our basement a calm neutral color. Next month I am still planning on having a garage sale, and am hoping to really "clear out" a lot of accumulated stuff!
The kids have been doing well. Caleb has two more games left for his baseball season. Katelynn is on her 3rd week of gymnastics. We are still trying to get out and about as much as possible, and last night we went on a family walk at Sedgwick County Park. We took Nikki with us this time, and I must say she did rather well! Except for the occasional car she would try to chase. It was a great evening to get out (like most evenings in the summer), and the park was rather busy. We're trying to find new parks around the Wichita area to visit because it seems the whole city of Wichita ends up at the new playground in Sedgwick County Park.
Well, keep Mark and our friend/his co-worker Tony in your thoughts and prayers this week as they are traveling to and from Missouri.
