Days of Summer

Upcoming events have me busy at home and at work, so I will make this blog update short and sweet.  Summer is underway, and so far the kids have enjoyed their days off. 

Last week swim lessons were a success.  Nick completed his Level 3 class and Lauren completed her Level 2 class with a note to work on her back float.  Nick learned new strokes including the butterfly.  Both learned and worked on their dives. 

Vacation bible school was also a huge success.  Last Friday parents were invited to VBS to see what the kids did all week.  It was quite obvious they sang a bunch, crafted a bunch, learned new Bible verses, and had even more F-U-N on top of all of that.  They also enjoyed each night at VBS with cousins, which made the event even more fun, if that is possible.

Grandma was a trooper throughout the week.  She kept all 4 kids moving and bussed them to and from all their activities for 5 days with grace and ease.  She was a bit (just a BIT) tired Friday evening. 

I was happy and re-energized when the kids came home Friday night.  I could get used to peaceful evenings, but I missed those loud, roudy kids to death!  When I asked Nick if he missed me, he casually said 'Not really Mom.  We had too much fun.'  Great job Grandma!  You made amazing memories last week!

Last Saturday we went to a retirement party for Ryan's Vice-President.  Sunday, I worked while Ryan and the kids went on a river float.  As they passed our house, I joined them on a kayak.  It was a beautiful day on the river.

The kids went back to Grandma's Monday and Tuesday.  Wednesday, I twisted their arms and sent them back to daycare (where their friends are!) for the rest of the week.  Evenings have consisted of piano practice, lawn mowing, fixing dinners, and laundry. 

And that, sums up or week in 1000 words or less...the less is the lack of pictures! 

It's almost the weekend!  Can't wait!
