Don’t be sad! Summer is almost over but there is still a little time left to squeeze in some fun. You could catch one of the last free summer concerts, enter your kid in a Mud Run, or cash in the remaining summer reading club logs.
There is just a crazy, random mish mash of stuff happening this week in town (check out the “What’s Happening In Grand Rapids” tab up top). We will be roaming all over for the next week or so, eating for free. We were very strategic in our procreation, and our kids’ birthdays are three days apart. So that Coldstone coupon? We get two. The Red Robin Burger? Yup. Half of the family eats for free all week.
Tomorrow is a very exciting day for us as we head to Lansing for the Sandbox Party. My kids could barely get to sleep. They associate political involvement with friends, donuts, and fun. They don’t know they are getting the attention of the state’s Gubernatorial candidates and asking them to hold early childhood programs in high regard but that’s OK. When my grandchildren have excellent preschool, outstanding prenatal care, and access to award education they’ll be glad they did.
My posts will be a little further in between next week so I can spend time focusing on my two awesome kids for their birthdays, and before school starts. If memory (and Google Analytics) serves correctly, many of you are pretty busy next week too and it is a slow week for blog reading. As it should be.
Get out there and enjoy!
Hurrah for free food!
And you’re right, it’s been such a quiet week in blogging.

We had Coldstone AND Red Robin yesterday. And bellyaches today.
