Popcorn Sunday

Back at it again with popcorn sales!

6 Sep 2026

Today was another sales day. We went to another Publix in northern Jacksonville. It was a bit of a different experience here, but the biggest issue was battling the attitude with the kids. Arya wasn’t doing herself any favors with being grumpy and pissy with things. She did a bit better after eating, but overall it wasn’t that great of a location for us; we sold about half of what we would have expected.

Back on the home front Garrett and Randal help make breakfast! They are great helpers and love to help cook!

A rare moment of brotherly love!

Frightfully delightful!

Up early in the morning to get chores done, I found this massive spider web in the yard. It was pretty impressive!

After chores, we were off to sell Popcorn for a Scout fundraiser. It started out a bit slow, and both Arya and her partner got a bit heat sick as we were getting blasted by the sun for the first hour, until it got high enough to shade us.

Meanwhile, shenanigans are afoot! Little buddy is getting bigger all the time!

Meagan took the kids to a Spirit Halloween store. Garrett and Randal had a great time getting scared by the animatronics and checking out all the cool things!

Our little viking warriors were checking out the gear to ensure they were fully equipped!

Garrett and Randal have fun with the trash can monster at Spirit Halloween! They got over their fear of the displays and were having fun scaring themselves!

Garrett is having a great time learning about and playing with the candy bowl!

Time to get ready for Halloween!

I need to cut some holes in the roof to install roof vents for the bathrooms, which presently vent to the attic. Now that I have all the parts, I’m waiting until I have a free morning that is rain free to get it done.

Meagan took the kids to a home school co-op meet up for D&D club. The location has a play place for the little kids. Jarek and Evan had a great time playing D&D. Jarek ran a table and Meagan ran the other. They are all looking forward to doing it again!

Garrett was being a twit. We’ll all be happy when this phase is over.

Busy Monday!

17 August 2026

Mondays are always busy. Back in the saddle with Volleyball, the week started early with drop off and pick ups. Then it was back to the books with the kids getting back into their subjects. We had a pretty good day for Evan getting his work done; Arya had some struggles with recalling how to do math.

But that was partially made up for by Randal, coming to take her away and saying “I need tuggles [snuggles]”!

Then the kids were off to music lessons, but Arya has shifted to Choir club.
