What a great day we had!
This morning, the kids & I went to the library for the summer reading program club meeting. The theme this morning was "sail off into space". The kids ate some "astronaut food" (Tang) and listened to space stories and then made a little rocket that we took outside & blasted off! (Put 1/2 of an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a tiny bit of water inside a film canister---which is stuck inside a paper tube---it 'blasts' off quite well!)
We came home to eat a quick lunch & have a speedy quiet time before it was time to 'blast off' again---this time to my friend's house to swim! Of course neither Samuel or Sarah can really swim, but luckily her pool is only 3' deep, so no one drowned. (though Sarah thought she was going to at one point!)
By the time we got home from swimming, it was time to take a bath, clean up, eat supper & head to church.
It was a full day...and a fun one!
Tomorrow, we were supposed to go eat lunch w/ Larry @ the church, but he had to cancel due to a special lunch meeting he must attend tomorrow. Anyway, since he can't eat w/ us & the kids were already excited about doing that, I told them we could eat with someone else! Grandma is coming to our house in the morning & will ride with us to a little pizza buffet in town. It'll be a sweet treat for all of us!

Sounds fun, Liz! So I guess you guys are staying dry now? We had a (very short) heat wave. It actually got above 90 degrees two days in a row! It's the first time it's been over 90 in the almost 4 years we've lived here. It was HOT. We don't have an a/c & it was 89 IN MY HOUSE yesterday. Bleh. But it's back to normal- gray, cloudy & cool today. :oP
My children have been begging me to put up our pool, but I think we're going to skip it this year. I'd worry too much about Josiah (who can sneak out of the house without a sound!).
Have a great lunch date with Grandma tomorrow! :)
Love, Alyssa
