Sunday on the Lake

Went fishing with Grandma and Grandpa on the boat this Sunday - Genni loved it! Then she fell asleep on the way back...

Summer Lovin'

I love summer - warm weather (although the weather was warmer in April!), time with my family, a cleaner house, catching up with friends, sleeping in...

Well most of that at least. Also worrying how to pay the bills through the summer, but I promised myself I would stop focusing on that so I could relax since it is summer...

Anyway, youth camp is over - and was successful I think. We were in Mansfield a little longer than we expected on Saturday because our friends Becky and Ryan lost their keys and after a two hour search....they were in Ryan's cymbal bag - hahaha - so we had a very late lunch at Papa V's and when Sunday came I just slept in and did nothing. We all need those days!

So back to swim lessons every day - signed Genni up for tumbling and very excited she gets to go on Wednesday - and planning on going to work half an hour early tomorrow so I can work out a bit. Speaking of work - I bought a bathing suit today, $30, speedo - why so cheap? Cause it's a kids suit. Kids must be getting fatter because it fit me and was half the price of a women's speedo suit so I bought it! Women love getting a good buy so I had to share:)

Oh! I forgot to post pictures of the playset we got for free that Eric restained and painted - it looks awesome!

Youth Camp

So after a whole week of sleeping in and not getting out of bed till 8:30 - we have been back to getting up at 6:30 every morning so we can get to Mansfield on time. Sunday-Wednesday Genni came with us to Mansfield and played with Anna (Becky and Ryan Pritchard's little girl) and sat through lessons, masterclass, band and computer classes before falling asleep on the way home at about 4 and consequently not feeling tired at bedtime. I started working at the YMCA this week too. 3 lessons a day, about 40 minutes each with 5 minutes in between. Mostly it's great, they are much better the first day or two than they are now. Now that they are used to us and their parents may stray a bit farther the kids are a bit more pushy and try to get away with more - but it's basically a good time. It's nice to get a little swimming in too - though I will be missing dinner for most of the month.

I heard some very sad news - Harry Potter will not be in the IMAX theatre next weekend because someone with the Transformers movie has bought them all out till the end of the month - no HP in IMAX till July 29th! I can't wait that long to see it, so now I'll just have to see it twice. Still excited about seeing it next week though!!

Well Youth Camp is done with the concert on Saturday, and then we have two weeks of sleeping in and home time (just to the Y from 4-6:30) and getting caught up on laundry, cleaning and carpets! Cheers!
