Summer over already?

I've been too busy with summer to post much.

Okay, the truth is, I pretty much napped my afternoons away during most of June and July. I have those months, couple times a year, when my iron is low and so is my energy. Fortunately, this happened during June and everything is very low key after lunch anyway.

June has flown by in a blur, yet I'm not quite sure what we did. Lots of kids playing outside, since, freakishly, the weather was wonderful for Arizona. Normally we don't venture outside, but it was in the lovely 90's.

One week in June was bible school at church. Cara and I volunteered to be with the kindergartners. I thought it would be nice to be with Lily the whole evening. I won't think that again. Don't get me wrong, I loved being with her, but with me there, she wouldn't try to make friends with anyone else. And she was very jealous when I paid attention to any of the other kids. Tricky situation.

Lily did lost her first tooth, finally! She was SO excited. It had been loose for about a week and was very very wobbly. We were driving to bible school; in fact, had just pulled into the parking lot when Lily shrieked, "MOM!" Startled me quite a bit, until she then yelled "IT CAME OUT!" By the time I parked and looked back at her, she was holding the tooth in her hand, grinning like crazy...... and had blood dripping down her chin! Fortunately I had paper towels in the van and we pressed it against her mouth until the bleeding stopped.

It is now July 17th and her other bottom front tooth is slightly loose. The tooth-losing extravaganza begins anew!

Both Max & Lily have taken swimming lessons for a few weeks and Lily has completely improved. She swims alone to her teacher and is learning underwater swimming. I'm going to sign them up today for the next session. Max is....... a little better about not throwing a fit about the water. LOL! He's a wimp, which isn't a surprise since he's pretty much scared of everything. He will now get into the water and splash around, but refuses to go under the water and screams if you even casually mention it. Oh well.... maybe next summer.
