Take Out For Dinner

So yesterday was the first day the girls were

out of school for summer.

I have them this week M-W-F.

Next week on T-and TH.

We started the day off here

at Zeig's cafe. They have a wonderful

breakfast and are a favorite of

all the family. Amanda did a

whole post on them if you

want more info.

As soon as we finished up breakfast

we made a quick trip here for a few arts

and craft supplies.

When we got home from town

I rode my bike.

And pulled the girls behind me in this
until Reagan's was nearly asleep.
Nap Time for her!
She slept for 2 hours.

While Reagan was sleeping,

Shelby ate lunch. Then

Shelby and I made a similar version of this.

I got the idea from here, Crafty Crow.

It's a wonderful site with tons of things to do.

I will use them a lot this summer.

If you have any other great web sites

for crafty kids stuff, please share it with me.

We also made a get well card

for her friend Chad who had a

freak accident on the last day of

school. We called and checked

on him and his mom said he was

getting back to normal.

After Reagan woke up and had lunch

it was time to go back out side.

So I changed the girls into our swim suits.

Got all the sun screen on and got the pool

filled half way up and heard thunder!

A wild thunder storm rolled in and

we were all running

back in side the house.

It only lasted about an hour.

(This is Shelby a two years a go in the little

pool that we have had for 3 years now.)

But by the time things dried up a bit we

were dressed again. While it was raining we had

a snack and read 10 books

and watched "Curious George"

on PBS KIDS.

They wanted back out side as soon as it
stopped raining. So this is what we did
until their daddy came and picked them up.

As soon as the granddaughters left
Travis drove up to help me string up
my tomato plants.


It couldn't have
come at a better time, because the
sever thunder storm came with some high
winds and knocked a couple of them over.
No need to worry, we got them all fixed up.
When he left and I came inside it was 7:00pm.



Needless to say, I did not cook supper.
I ordered out and went and got it.
I actually thought it was a wonderful
day. Everyone was in good moods
and seem to have a good time.
No fussiness from any of us.
I think that on Wednesday we'll

just go to Summer Waves!
