A little of this, a little of that


Summer!!!

While I make no excuses about being absent around here, one of my issues is that it feels like so much happens when I’m away and although YOU don’t care, this is my space and it turns out I care. I haven’t figured out what I want this space to be, as I’m not blogging as much as I want to/should/could. But here are a few things going around at Casa Bapryll:

My best friend came to visit this past weekend. We ate great food, had some much needed girl time, shopped, ate, shopped, ate, and hung with children. And then she left and I fed the kids candy to numb the pain.


I decided that it was finally more important to have some semblance of a guest room over my 700 books (not an exaggeration) so I have gotten rid of almost all of them, moved all the kid books I was saving for the boys into their own room (Spencer points out his “new” HP collection twice a week) and now I have somewhat of a comfortable guest area/office.


When we’re not at Disney, we have been spending a lot of time in the back yard. My mom got the boys Socker Boppers (remember the commercial?) and they wrestle in the splash pool. Henry goes “ding ding!”


After coming home from vacation I remained attached to the French 75, so I’ve started making my own. Except that I don’t have a cocktail mixer (I swear I did, but it’s nowhere to be found) so mixing cocktails can be a bit messy. I make it happen though.



And I’m teaching the boys to be self-sufficient. You lost a ball under the couch and can’t get it with your arm? What do you do?
