Wow! I cannot believe it has been since May since I last blogged. It has been an incredible summer. I so very much wish I had blogged about it. We had some wonderful family time and we actually got out camping twice too. The kids very much seemed to enjoy the summer. What sensational weather we had too!
We have slowly but surely renovated our family room over the summer too. I am so excited about it and it is really almost finished up. I am putting the last touches on it. Then I will have an album to post of pics!
With the family room reno, has come a new policy to eat together at the island in our kitchen every night. I hate to admit that we ate on the couch whilst watching tv before but the cat is out of the bag so I will suck it up and wear that reveal. We have been so enjoying our meals together in our new room. (It is open concept family room / kitchen combo but we really only reno'd the family room part). \
A couple of nights ago, I asked my husband to tell us the best thing about his day and the worst thing (worst first of course to end with something positive) and our eldest, piped up and said that is "Apples & Onions!" We have since done it around the island every night and what amazing conversations we have. It begins lovely discussions and marvellous sharing of our lives apart from each other, giving detailed glimpses into our days away from home. We have had lots of laughs in just a couple days and then we also often remember the apples & onions from day to day and inquire about specific things. I heartily recommend this and I sincerely hope we continue it! It has really enriched our lives & time together. :)
