Saturday recap.....

I found this on the table this week after G had lunch!

Who says motherhood doesn't have it's rewards?!

G, the Proud Dad taking his baby butterflies out of for dinner. He wasn't quite ready to let them all go so he would take them out to eat a bit and then put them back in their hut. This morning he finally let them all go.

G enjoyed his time at cub scout day camp. The last day was cut short because of strong winds, but the boys got to tye-die, shoot bow and arrows, and shoot the BB guns before they came home.

Today G went fishing with our neighbor, Jim. G and Jim are buddies and have a great time together.

Poor Skipper is a bit shell shocked from all the storms this week. I've been leaving him outside at night but he's always happy when W comes in later and lets him in the garage! Just in case! As a matter of fact Skipper is at the back window looking at me, wanting in the garage.

Even W is a bit weary of the weather. We had another thunderstorm a couple of nights ago. I called to tell W he should come home. I heard him pull up but then someone was knocking at the back door, it was W. He thought he'd park behind the house just in case it hailed the house would protect his truck! I wondered why he didn't just move my van and pull in the garage!? I'm sure he doesn't want his truck looking like my van!

Finally Friday!

This has been a week full of Fridays ~ first W's Friday was Monday (his last day of school) and then G's Friday was Thursday (his last day of school), but the official Friday is finally here!

Summer Vacation day#1

The first day of official Summer break was spent, getting this done. G and I took every thing out of his room, vacuumed, and then decided what could be given away and what needed to stay! I was so excited when G said, "you know Mom I don't need all these toys!" I wondered

"Just How can this be?"

but didn't ask twice! and started boxing things up! This took us all morning and then I switched out his winter clothes for summer clothes.

Then we took a exercise trip, G on his bike with Skipper and I walking. This is fun and will give G the extra exercise boost that his little legs need. For those of you that don't know we live on a hill. If we turn to the north it's a series of hills, up and down, up and down to the highway. If we turn to the south it's long slow decent with a nice plateau in the middle. It's always nice to walk that way going away from the house! As a matter of fact when we turned around to start coming back G said "let's go back to our drive way and then do this again!" He'd changed his mind by the time we'd gotten back to the drive way. We chatted about how if worked at it peddling all the way back up the hills then he'd surely be the fastest boy in 3rd grade. He like the thought of that.

Oh, then lucky G got a phone call telling us that he'd won 4 tickets to see

"Walking with the Dinosaurs"

(I'll talk more about this when we go)

W slept late, after making a big deal yesterday about how he was going to consistently try to be out of bed before 10am! I had to finally go get him up at 11:30! Guess he can work on this next week. He had some errand to run for us and now is playing music to my ears! Weed Eating! the first time this season, so he has plenty to do!

Oh, we put the puzzle away only to have it be replaced by the Butterfly Hut, with the little cups of butterfly larva (caterpillars) sitting close by. Then there is the bowl with the snake skin, that G found in the yard a few days ago, sitting close by. My dining room table has become a nature retreat!

It's cloudy and humid today, but not too warm.
