Summer happenings & some winners

We have had another fun filled week & it is only Wednesday night. Garrett started swim lessons on Monday. He looks forward to his lessons each morning. He is such a little dare devil & very much so a free spirit. There are 4 boys in his group & two teachers. He is supposed to sit on the edge & wait for his turn. Every time the instructor turns around, he wiggles his way back into the water & just smiles. It has become a game. I am thinking "what a little stink pot".

I love this picture of him. The sun was so bright, he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Yesterday we headed over to the local library to see the Science Wizard. This was a free show hosted by the Friends of the Library. I had logged on to this guys website before hand & saw that his cheapest party package was a $195.00 & we totally got to see it for free. He performed cool science experiments for a full hour. He entertained the crowd by: using fire, melting things, forming solids, melting his girlfriend,Sheila's head (a Styrofoam head) with acid, & blowing large quantities of bubbles. He held the boys attention for the entire hour, so you know he was good. Brody on the other hand, was not so good. When the kids would clap or laugh, he would join in @ a higher octave. He is so loud. We watched the show from the big glass windows (on the outside).We sure do LOVE our new library.

Today was another action packed day. We started it off @ the pool for Garrett's swim lessons. He worked hard today on his kicks & BIG scooper's. He is getting the hang of the swimming thing. After the lessons, we met up with some friends @ the local bowling alley. Steph & Lisa found out about these cards for the kids that allows them to bowl any weekday during the summer, for free. The shoe rentals were even free too! Between the three families, we have a total of 11 boys with us! Crazy, good times. The Moms decided to bowl too! I can't even remember the last time I bowled. So much fun! I wasn't good @ it...but I had a great time. Garrett was cracking me up. He was trying to throw the bowling ball like you would throw a baseball. After the bowling excursion, we headed over to the Parker's for a BBQ & swimming (thanks for hosting Lisa). These boys did not stop for 2 1/2 hours. John was tossing them all in the pool & helping them do flips. It was another great summer day!

And now on to the winners from the last post. Thank you all for playing. Again, it is fun to read your comments. My trusty assistants were willing & able to help pick names. They also drew which prize everyone would win. I wrote a couple of my favorite things down & then the boys would pick the favorite thing & then a name. The winners are (in no particular order):

Congrats ladies! I will pop you prizes in the mail by the end of the week. Steph & Jacque, you won a Kit of the week from Green Tangerines. I will see what they have in store tomorrow & email you with your choices.

Enjoy the sunshine!
