Friday Morning Coffee Catch Up

On By Erin @ Cracker Crumb LifeIn Coffee Catch UP

Hello everyone!! I am so grateful for coffee this week. I am running on coffee and peanut butter toast this week – I have just been so busy! I am trying to prep for school and for Cub Scouts while also making sure Wyatt enjoys the last few weeks of summer.

One thing that happened – Wyatt got a hair cut!!

Our neighbor works at a barber shop and she did such a great job! I absolutely love it, and Wyatt does too. The barbershop is very swanky and Wyatt felt like a big shot in there among the adults.

He got it just in time for his cousin Mermaid Girl’s birthday party too. She had a cosmic bowling party and it was a blast. I had to laugh – it’s like no matter what, you can count on bowling shoes to always look exactly the same as they did decades ago.

I also got to bowl – and it was pretty sad. Lol. I came in last, tying with Chrissy’s mom. (Chrissy is my SIL) We were both not wonderful at bowling. I even took bowling in college as one of one PE credits! I remember Billy and I would have to practice bowling every week so that I could show improvement in class. We didn’t have to be good, just show that we got better. It was a stretch but I did it. Our practice sessions became just an excuse to get together with all of our friends every week, who also joined us at the bowling alley.

We also had our second Cub Scout committee meeting. The committee is made up of family and friends but it is still nerve wracking to me because I am the person who needs to run it and do like 90% of the talking. Right now we are still getting everything made all official, collecting applications and dues and signatures and learning the ropes of the big fundraiser that is starting, the popcorn sale, as well as planning the first meeting which is at the beginning of September, and the first outing, which is a few days after. It will be so fun once we get through all of this red tape, and can really get started.

We have our council meetings at the rowing club in our town, and it is such a great spot, right on the river and bonus, adult beverages that are very inexpensive.

I’m really cramming because of course all of this starts at the same time – school, Scouts, and then to throw a big wrench in there, Wyatt has a three day EEG at the hospital right in that same week. At least I guess we will get it all out of the way at once!

Of course we went to the library and got ice cream this week! Our favorite ice cream place closed for the season on Thursday so we had to make sure to get in before they shut down. So one day we went to the library, checked out a mass of books, and hung out on the giant porch reading for a bit before going to get ice cream. Then we went the very next day and got ice cream with my dad as well!

Wyatt and I both loved sitting on the big porch. It is so high up and set so far back from the road that it felt like we were just in our own bubble or our own little world. Wyatt really enjoyed people watching and wheeling around out there too. Can I just move into the library? Wyatt and I decided that would be a super cool place to live.

Looking forward to fall, which is right around the corner, I am busy making plans for field trips and little mini-vacations, for Halloween and scouts. I am also planning out my fall TBR (we will see how I do – I am not great at sticking to the plan), and all the comfy cozy bloggy stuff that Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I do together. This year we are even having a little giveaway in October and I am really excited about it!! And speaking of comfy cozy fall things, this is our fall movie line up and dates, if you want to watch or post along with us! The dates listed are the dates that our posts will go up! I think we have a fantastic list and I am really looking forward to just slowing down this fall.

And now just some randoms from the camera roll!

Have a great weekend everyone, and I hope you do something that makes you smile!

    Hi Erin! My name is Shawnna, I work at the Bacon library. Let me start with telling you that Wyatt is one of our favorite kiddos, he’s always such a ray of sunshine when he comes through, especially when he announces yay books! I stumbled across your blog when I was looking at everyone’s pics from our family fun night, I tapped on your profile and saw you were a blogger so I gave it a try and I have to tell you, it’s such a cozy comfy space! Of course I love seeing about the books but your posts about everything you do with Wyatt is an inspiration to me as well. I have a son with his own health issues and challenges and we also homeschool so I have gotten a ton of ideas from your blog. Thank you for the time you put into your content, it’s fast become one of my favorite blogs!

    1. Hi Shawnna!! Thank you! This is so nice of you to say! Wyatt’s favorite place to go is the library – and as you know he can be very enthusiastic about it. Lol!!

      Introduce yourself to me next time I am in! Maybe we can compare notes about homeschool! How old is your son? Homeschooling is seriously one of my favorite things to talk about and I rarely get to do it!

      Thank you again, this comment totally made my day!!

        I will definitely do that next time I see you guys! My son will be nine next month. I would love to chat about homeschool, I’ve only met a couple homeschool families at the library and they were both very big and very busy families so we’ve only had short talks.
        We do it a bit like you with some from here and some from there. I’m always on the look out for new things that will be a good fit for us.
        I’d love to ask you about the cubscout troop you’re starting, yet another good idea I’d have never thought of, I love all of the different things I learn from everyone I meet at the library!

    1. It is!! Our library is half old house, half 70s addition. I love going into the old part of walking around and sitting on the porch. When my parents were young, the old part, the house part was the only library and they remember sitting in all the old nooks and crannies reading, which would have been so cool.

    Bowling sounds like so much fun; my kids had a few bowling birthday parties too. I’m not a great bowler either but I do have fun… even if I’m not a big fan of the shoes. That library porch looks so lovely!

    I’m so bad at bowling myself. I always feel the ball is too heavy to lift much less throw. I can remember sitting on the front porch swing with my mom too. Wyatt will always have those fond memories.

  10. I have moments of brilliance when it comes to bowling but I have no idea why or what I did and it is impossible to replicate. Love the haircut! Will has curly hair so we have to keep it fairly short otherwise it goes chia pet pretty quickly. I’m torn between being ready for it not to be a million degrees and not being ready to lose pool time!

    1. Our library is two buildings that they connected. One is the old part of the building, that is an old Victorian, with a huge porch and all the rooms and fireplaces. It is gorgeous. And then there is the “newer” addition from the 70s. Lol.

      It’s on the way! It is super chilly here this morning!
