School's Out For Summer!!

So what does that mean for a family that has no kids in school???? - Not much.... :P Dan did get 3 days off between the end of School and the start of Summer School - that was nice. :) But now he's back and life is back to the same routine. We did manage to have some fun and get stuff done around the house though. :) Tuesday we went down to my parents house to swim and have dinner. The kids just loved seeing their grandparents, and Sandi and Jon and Mojo. Anna and Eileen just LOVE the pool. They love playing and splashing and swimming around in their tubes. Aaron got put into his little floatie and liked it ok, but it wasn't his favorite thing in the world. I think he would have prefered more freedom, but mommy is still too nervous around pools! After we had hamburgers and hot dogs and played some more!

We also went to the spray ground again this week. We met up with some friends there and had lots of fun splashing around with the Tolberts and the Alcalas. Aaron LOVES the spray ground. He is so funny to watch and to play with.

Saturday was chore day again. The girls had completed all their chores for the week and so were able to do some extra work around the house to earn some money. All 3 kids had lots of fun cleaning and helping out. After earning their money, seperating out tithing and savings, they decided that the wanted to spend some money. So we went to Walmart to look around the toy aisle. Eileen had decided that she wanted a "Littlest Pet Shop" toy and so she looked until she had found one she liked in her price range and very seriously determined that the butterfly one was exactly what she wanted. Anna wandered around looking at things and picking out things that were WAY out of her price range before finally settleing on a "Princess ball" that she has hardly let out of her sight since.

Right before lunch, Aaron got his hair cut. He has been needing a bit of a trim for awhile now, so Dan pulled out the clippers, sat him in his high chair and we buzzed him. Not totally, but since his hair is so fine and so fair it looks like we did. He looks so much nicer now - but older too... :(

Sunday was the normal cranky kids and tired parents! I sat in Nursery with the kids today to help out and Anna and Aaron loved having me in there with them. It is always fun to watch them interact with other kids. Then after church, we enjoyed a yummy dinner and Dan and Anna and Aaron made a YUMMY peach cobbler for us all, and then enjoyed licking the beaters!
