So the weekend - It might be packed. Sometimes. But its short. Seems like a good place to start! What I'm doing to simplify this process for myself: Forget processing my raw images. At least for this kind of post. Just using SOOC (straight out of camera) jpgs and processing them the best I can, as quickly as I can. Also journaling in list form or somewhere along those simple lines. I over-complicate stuff like this. So I'm really making an effort to keep it simple and get it done. Perfect is nice. But perfection is my hang-up. We'll see how this goes...
Our first weekend of summer ~
Saturday afternoon - Let's start the summer with a splash! "Brownie" swim party. Perfect weather. Great lead in for swim lessons which begin on Monday.
Late Saturday afternoon - While the kids and I were at the swim party, Daniel was home chopping up tree stumps. He was beyond tired. And the rest of us, well, we had been outside in the sun, for three hours... We were all pooped. I fell asleep in Emma's bed and woke up to one very quiet house. Ethan was asleep on the couch and Emma asleep with Daddy in our bedroom. It wasn't quite a lazy Saturday at home, but we were sure napping like it was!
Sunday evening - A belated Father's Day dinner with Daniel's family. So happy to have Vivian and her husband Kwan Young back from New York. They're here to stay! Haven't seen Kwan Young since Emma was one year old! SUCH a nice guy. Great to have them back!
Even later Sunday evening - Watering our dead grass with the kids' water play supply.
Other things to remember about this weekend -
How I love having company over because it forces me to clean, and clean is always nice.
Daniel hacking away the trees out of existence.
Daniel beginning the labor intensive process of cutting away cement in our backyard.
The very orange pumpkin and the red ripe grape tomatoes we have growing in our backyard.

I know what you mean about the "perfectionist" getting in the way. I have the same problem... it's a constant battle.
The blog seems like an interesting way to do it. Normally, the challenge is using media and/or applications that will be around in 20 years. Heck, 10 years ago you might have put them on a ZIP drive or something. But using the web/cloud type of storage alleviates you of back-ups and formats. I'm pretty sure HTML will be supported for our lifetime. Just make sure there is a way for you to download everything if you decide to drop the account.
I'm proud of Daniel - home improvement projects mean more when you do it yourself. Just remember: for bursts of extra labor on these types of projects, you can usually ask friends to help. I believe the customary rate is a Costco pizza and water/soda. Busting concrete and/or tree stumps is serious business!
