A pretty boring, laid back week. Thomas went to YM camp Tuesday through Saturday. The little boys did a summer school camp from 8-2 each day. The girls and I worked in the garden a lot (animals still digging it up) and read. I did a lot of lesson plans for school starting in August.
Last Sunday: Seminary graduation. Left to Right: Bishop, Alexis, Alexis' teacher Angie (seminary is at her house), another girl in our ward who graduated, her online teacher, Bob. Then Sonia, the co-teacher to Angie. Both of Lexi's teachers are amazing and super sweet. Way to go to be a 4 year seminary graduate and straight A student!
Monday: Heat wave came through and their bedroom was 100 degrees so they moved out to sleep by the window unit.
Tuesday: Thomas helped me put up some window tints to try to make the sunroom cooler. It's so hot with all those windows we can't use it all summer.
Dropping Thomas off at the church for YM camp. They went to a place near Asheville, NC and had fun rock climbing, boating, white water rafting, and hiking.
These are the only pictures his leaders sent me, but it looks fun!
Wednesday: A bird in the playroom. We'd just been working in the garden where animals had eaten our plants and dug them up. We also flicked beetles off the grapes into bowls of soapy water as they were eating all the grape leaves. We came in hot and worn out from this animal invasion. Then we find a bird in the sunroom! Later we caught a mouse. It just doesn't stop!
Herbs I was drying and putting in ziplocks for later use.
Saturday: Kait is always willing to mow our huge yard and give all her younger siblings rides.
Samuel playing soccer on a beautiful Saturday night. After a week of problems like animals getting into our garden, fruit trees, garbage cans, and kitchen plus hot weather and no a/c, I just wanted to move to the city. But having cool weather come and watching the kids mow and play outside in our beautiful yard it made living here worth it.
Kaitlyn blowing around the garden area.
Makenna and Anderson raking up some grass clippings and putting them on the garden.
Talea dancing around the freshly mowed grass. The lighting is bad but it was beautiful dark green grass and light blue sky and temps at 70 degrees with no humidity so it felt great.
When I finally put my tools away and went inside I found these 4 poring over the lawn mower book to see how much you have to weigh to get the seat to trigger the mower to go. If you get off the seat or don't weigh enough the mower won't go. Kaitlyn is a fantastic mower but the other 3 look forward to when they weigh enough to mow.
