Summer Update

Well before we continue on catching up with all that has happened for the D fam, this post is dedicated to what we are doing with out the pics. It has been a busy summer, but isnt it always. We started out with soccer camps, of which Kaija thought didnt count for doing anything this summer. Then Soccer Tryouts, both girls made new premier teams with Shawnee. We took a trip to Hilsdale for a sea dooing excursion and Ventured to Illinois for some 4th of July Mayhem. POOF summer half over.
We have been to the pool a bit but the one thing driving me absolutely insane was that thus far I had not accomplished anything other than new landscaping. I thought the summer would provide lots of time for extra work on the house. Not so much. Following after the babes and making sure beds are made and chores are done followed up by making sure they are entertained. Then.........Kaija and Meg left for Idaho and Wyoming with mom and Dad. We decided to stay behind and get some work done and save our Vacay for a better time.
WOW...did I say WOW we have been cruisen through work on the house. Garage cleaned (chore needed of Dewsbury families after a long awaited time) That was mandatory after my new car got Hail damage. Shelves in basement, built...with Dad's carpentry expertise. Stairs and Kitchen being painted, old truck sold...... I could go on forever, and that has all been done since Friday. I am going to be so tired by the time the girls get back. I did take one major spill. You know when the three stooges are doing something and they slip on a broom or something on the ground that rolls. Well, yep I was that stooge. I had a drawer in my hand of Kaija's and was on the phone with Bryce, and He had just asked me how my day was when.... up into the air and down on my head I came. I must have hit my back and shoulder too because I could barely move for like three days. Makes life interesting I guess.
Well thats the drawn out/quick version of the Dewsbury summer. Lots to do lots of fun, lots of Kansas sun.
