Payton and Anna started swimming lessons this week. They are great swimmers, but I'm insistent that they know how to do proper swim strokes. Well.
Scott picked up a giant inflatable Orca from the store. Anna has named it Sparkles and pretends to be a whale trainer.
Anna rearranged the furniture in her bedroom again.
Monsoon season is here. Lots of ominous looking clouds that roll in and out during the day, lightning at night, and a little more humidity than normal.
Scott and Payton went on a Scout campout for 11 year olds. Payton had the best time and we were so proud of him for passing the BSA swim check.
Speaking of Scouts, Conner has done the write-up for his Eagle Project and just needs to get it approved before he can get started.
Two months ago we made a big order for new exterior doors -- double front door, bathroom side door, master bedroom door, and french doors. The french doors were finally installed on Monday! And we were sooo happy to say goodbye to the impossible-to-open sliding glass doors. No amount of WD-40 was going to make those puppies slide any smoother.
Sunday afternoon I got the urge to start making Pioneer bonnets. 3 so far. Somewhat random, I know. But not completely. I've got the Pioneer Day parade on my brain as I'm in charge of pulling together the float for our Primary. And it's not actually going to be a "float" but more like a bunch of kids riding in the back of Scott's truck and throwing candy. But still awesome.
This week has also included Risk, bowling, a trip to the activity pool, Crepe Shack, Guitar Hero with Conner while everyone else is gone, a Target summer clearance win (see patio chair above), and really good cantaloupe. Don't you just love a perfectly ripe cantaloupe?
