Christmas in July

Christmas in July is just a funny concept. Last night I saw a party complete with a blow-up snowman in the front yard! I've never attended one of these, but I assume it's just another excuse to throw a party in the glorious summertime. Anyone have a Xmas/July party story to convince me to throw one next year??

What. A. Weekend. I had visitors yet again- Erin and Randy drove through the night from Akron to STL on Friday morning. Erin is a high school friend, and her husband Randy somehow convinced her to join him for the 9 hour trek to pick up a dining room set that's been in the family for generations. It was great to have them around, and even though the complained about their chain-cigar-smoking uncle, it sounded like they enjoyed his company (and trip to the arch!) as well.

The weather here is OUTSTANDING. It feels like fall- so much that I kinda want to make chili in the crock pot and turn on Ohio State football. Alas, it's July 19th... and the 75 degree temps will soon be 95 I just know it. In the meantime I will take advantage of the low humidity by runs with Jack, driving with the sunroof open, and amazing hair days :)

This week should be pretty normal... finally. Joel starts soccer with the Maryville girls in a short 2 weeks, so hopefully we can get in some date nights before he goes on hiatus!

Happy Sunday!
