Monday

All good things must come to an end—but if you’ve got to wrap up the weekend, today’s a pretty exciting way to do it. Now it’s time to take our collective noses and press them firmly back onto the grindstone of life. Back to work, back to the hustle, back to doing our part to make this spinning rock a better place.

Peanut and Kiwi are up and at ’em this morning—well, kind of. They're a little too caught up in Monopoly Go on their phones to focus on anything productive. Kiwi is completely obsessed with the new Star Wars theme, while Peanut just enjoys batting at the screen like it’s a touchscreen toy made for cats (which, let's be honest, it might as well be). Every few minutes, I hear “Take that, Daddy!” or “Mom’s going to be mad!”—and when I check in, sure enough, one of them has knocked down one of my buildings. Or Michelle’s. Hard to say. Either way, we may have accidentally created two tiny digital tyrants.

Pretty sure summer break has officially kicked off. Judging by the flood of “last day of school” and graduation photos I saw last week, I think it’s safe to assume the kids are out. Amy might still be working a few more days (just a guess), but for the most part, the school year is in the rearview mirror.

Here we go again—let’s make it a good one.
