I haven't updated my blog in awhile. I kept thinking it was because I have nothing really exciting to update about. That got me wondering what in the world we've been doing because I know I've been busy. Here's some of the stuff that has taken up our time lately:
** Piano lessons and piano recital for Anna and Nathan. They both did great!
** End of school year torture, er I mean celebrations. There were lots of them! (Too many if you ask me.) Fifth grade farewell, Kindergarten picnic, Kindergarten Writer's tea, Choir concert, Orchestra concert, and on and on. It was fun, but I'm glad we're done with all the celebrating.
** Swimming and swim lessons. We've spent a whole lotta time at the pool this year. Elizabeth and Caleb had a private swim teacher come to our pool to teach them how to swim. It was a 5 day crash course, which is actually the same amount of time as going to the rec center once a week for 5 weeks. But they got one-on-one time and we only had to walk to our backyard. Elizabeth learned how to swim! She went from tears on the first day, to swimming on day 4!!! I was floored and so happy for her. Caleb can't swim on his own yet, but he's not afraid of the water now. He told me he needs his teacher to come back so he can learn to swim under water. We'll do that in July hopefully.
** Lots of dentist and doctor appointments. Caleb had his first dental cleaning and did fabulous!
** Cleaning/organizing the storage room. I wasn't going to post this because it's pretty boring, but it's what kept me busy for a week, so I thought I'd share that I have been doing SOMETHING. It looks awesome down there!
**Doing fun things like science experiments. Here are the kids making Magic Milk:
I think these pictures of the milk are cool - Anna used the blue one for the background on her iPod.
And that has been our life for the last month or so.
Oh, and I have to add this. FEAR the boy with a sword... and his bear!! We often see Caleb carrying around a sword and his teddy bear. I think it's so cute and funny so I thought I'd share.
I love that Caleb loves bears like his mommy. I found him watching TV like this one morning:
Your storage room looks AMAZING!! So what do you have in those uniform containers & boxes? Congratulations on finishing your big project! Must feel great.
ReplyDeleteThe Rubbermaids are full of "stuff". Holiday decorations, hats, coats, gloves, baby blankets that I want to save... anything that we don't use too often, but still need. A lot of seasonal stuff since we don't have the room to store them in their rooms. The boxes are all books. Blake loves books and some day wants to build a bunch of bookshelves. I've been waiting for "some day" for a long time. Until then, the books live in those boxes.
