10 pictures on the 10th day of the month!

July 10th....Here we are.

Summer is just going by way too quickly. 

Kate wanted to make her breakfast on her own, so she dragged out a chair, got out bread, put it in the toaster & then put jam on it. Then she did the same for Claire! So self reliant at 6 years old!

 The harvest from my garden. Tomatoes & Cucumbers galore! It's pathetic how happy homegrown veggies make me.

 My lunch. Turkey with a laughing cow cheese, homegrown tomatoes & cucumbers with some pepper on a sandwich thin. And, iced tea. Yum

Getting gas. It's only $4 a gallon....for the low grade. UGH.

Trader Joes. Luke likes checking out all the people.

 Fro Yo. I bribed them with it while we ran errands.

 Playdate/Swimdate with friends. So much more relaxing now that our kids can swim!

 I rallied late last night & got Luke's invites made and then printed today. I LOVE how they turned out! Here is a sneak peek:

Hope you had a great 10th. Next month on the 10th, I will have a ONE year old!!!

Here is a snapshot of the 10th which was Sunday. We went to the Saturday night church service, so our Sunday morning was nice & mellow.  I admired my new L sign that I got the day before from one of my local friends who makes these awesome signs. I LOVE it!

I went on a 7 mile run before it got too hot.

 After my run I made bacon & my Monkey Bread for brunch. It was a nice day, so we ate outside.

My mother in law & I made our Homemade Strawberry Jam on Friday (over 50 jars!!!) and I had the jars stored upside down before I put them in the freezer on Sunday.

One of our friends dropped off a bag of costumes that her son outgrew....Claire & Luke had so much fun going through the costumes & trying them on. They played Star Wars in the front yard.

 Then I headed to Home Depot to get some new plants for our backyard. We are in the middle of a backyard re-model & it's time to plant!

 I also headed to the local Fruit Stand/Farmers Market to pick up some fresh produce for the week.

 The kids swam & Kate was making underwater videos with THIS camera that she got for Christmas. She loves it!

 Dinnertime....Fresh Corn on the cob that I grilled on the BBQ, Oven Roasted zucchini & squash from my garden & Tri Tip seasoned with Montreal seasoning. YUM! Summer food is the best!

 We put the kids to bed right at 8pm since they have camp this week & then we relaxed in the hot tub with a glass of wine. My legs were sore from my 7 mile run!

 It was the perfect ending to a fun filled weekend & day!

Hope you had a great 10th....I love looking back at each 10th of the month and seeing how we spent our ordinary days!
