Doggy nap time is the best kind of time around here + other weekend things.

We didn't get caught up with everything but we did with most things. And thank goodness for that. 

Every two weeks Yangkyu does yard work. I think if he could he would wave a magic wand and get rid of all our bushes and shrubs. He hates them. I don't know why. He seemed to plant a bunch of those when we used to play The Sims. We have these two gigantic bush looking trees on our our front lawn and he made them look like something straight out of a Dr. Seuss book. Anything that looks stuffy on the bottom he doesn't like, so he trimmed it so we could see the stem of tree. I'll have to take a picture one day and share. 

On Sunday while Yangkyu was doing yard work, I had two napping dogs on my hands so I got around to doing the dishes, did some laundry and ironing, made some mixed berry smoothies, baked muffins for next week and cooked up some cold arrowroot noodle soup {chik neng myun} for lunch. I am currently a fan of any time when it's two napping dogs because it frees up a lot of my time. Piri usually isn't a handful but puppies are. And they like to explore a lot. Explore meaning putting things in their mouths, getting up on things, scratching and barking. It's a whole lot of cute but also a whole lot of handful.

During one hour in one of the weekend days, I heard Christmas carols playing on TV and got really excited for the holidays. I imagined Christmas lights all around our kitchen windows. Or maybe our entire house! I think that would look pretty. Then I thought I was getting ahead of myself and so I looked through some possible Halloween decorations and DIYs. Then I told myself again I'm still getting way ahead myself. Summer isn't over yet! And so, this week, I'm reminding myself, take it day by day because each day brings such surprising gifts and valuable learning lessons. 

So hello Monday. Let's get the week started.
