The Busiest Summer EVER

This has without a doubt been the busiest, craziest summer our family has ever had.  Hence the major lack of blogging on my part.  So this is my attempt to play catch up.

After our beach vacation and VBS, we had one day as a family--one whole day where no one had to be anywhere or do anything.  So we went to "Memom's pool."  Memom is a sweet lady at our church who lets us use her pool whenever we want.  We usually go at least a dozen times a summer, but this summer we only went once.  ONCE.  I still can't believe it.  So we packed a lunch, put a watermelon on ice, and headed to Memom's.  We spent the morning swimming and noshing on watermelon.

Then B had his first dentist appointment.  It did not go well--cavities in all 8 molars.  But he was a champ at the dentist, and I was super proud of how well he did.  For those who know B, they know that he will do anything if he is distracted by tv.

We have an appointment to get the first pair of teeth fixed and we will go from there.

The kids and I set a goal to read 100 books this summer, and we are still working on it.  But our local library had a summer reading program and set a goal for each child to read 25 books.  We got it done by the deadline and turned our forms in.  The kids got Frosty certificates for Wendy's and ice cream cone certificates for Burger King.  We went right then to Burger King for ice cream.

That is a short and sweet recap of some of what we have done this summer.  It certainly doesn't cover all of it, but there it is.
