This week was a busy one. Cub scout Day Camp for Jacob all week.  Take your kids to work on Thursday, swimming, etc.  We stopped by the fireworks store on Friday wide-eyed and excited to see all the possibilities.  We purchased enough to make a big boom on the 4th for friends and family.

It's been too dry the past few years for us to feel safe about fireworks....but, we've had more than enough this year.

Jacob made a stand to hold his pinewood derby, flag key chain, coin satchel, painted on leather, etc.

The last day of day camp.  Hot and humid, but full of fun.  BB guns, archery, crafts and games.

Jacob  earned a few other awards at pack meeting this week.  The campfire was cancelled due to weather (again)....so, games inside and smores done in the oven. 

Gene and I celebrated our 16th anniversary.  Yay! We had a garbage disposal installed for the first time ever in this house.We ate dinner at Cheddars, then went furniture shopping (for my upcoming birthday)

 

For my birthday I got a headboard and frame for our bed.  Yes, finally!

Jacob is getting creative- drum set, lawn mower and fruit

The girls and I were hanging out at the pool. This day it was a bit chilly.  They were reluctant to get in.  Emily finished her reading log for the library reading program.  We found a 6th grade required reading guide and she is eyeball-deep into newly suggested books.
