We had a busy, busy weekend. Well, a busy past-week for that matter.
It all started when Emma Bell made a family time to-do list last week.
It went something like this:
1. Play in the yard.
2. Watch a movie.
3. Eat popcorn.
4. Sit around the fire.
5. Go swimming at the lake.
6. Have a picnic.
7. Have Mallie over.
Let's just say, over the past few days, we have done everything except #4.
And several of these, for instance like #5 (without the lake part, everytime) and #7 , we have done several times. Feeling extremely waterlogged and sunburned, I will say that we have had an wonderful time of being together and doing lots of "stuff".
As for this week, well, Eli has gone on to Short Mountain Bible Camp. I am sure he is having a great time of not bathing, not washing his face and not doing dinner dishes.
Tripp has his last ballgame tonight.
I love summertime.

A busy week.
Lots of things going on this week.
The kids -Emma and Tripp - are in swimming lessons again this week. This time, they are in the mornings. Tripp is such a morning kid (not!). He has a routine that he likes to follow when he gets up.
1. He comes downstairs.
2. He hugs and kisses.
3. Then, he goes to the couch and he lays down. He has to have a pillow and be covered with a blanket. And, his feet cannot show. He doesn't like to sleep with feet uncovered.
4. Then, he has to have a sippy with red juice.
5. Following this, he likes to watch Spongebob. Handy Manny does not work for him. He used to watch Wonderpets in the morning. Now they are not on - that I know of - this early.
So, his morning routine has been comprimised by the swimming lessons. And he is not happy.
Emma, on the other hand, is a fish. She is ALL ABOUT swimming... and is doing really well. She is not afraid. She has already jumped off the high dive this year. She actually has jumped for the past two years, but it takes some time to build up her courage.
Eli was a fish from birth. He is already backflipping off the diving board. And front flipping.
