Record Highs

Well the summer is here with a big heat wave.  This weekend we are going to have record highs: 106!  I really don't want to know what that's going to feel like.  We have cooled off some this week at the pool.  Emily has been practicing swimming and jumping off the side of the pool.  She even does cannon balls now.  It's so fun to watch:

 

She still needs her arm floaties in the deep end . . . 

 

We have also managed to keep our plants alive long enough to produce 8 blooms!!!

 Last Saturday, Emily and I started on our first 300 piece puzzle:

Emily helped me with all the edges and the General Store that was in the middle of the puzzle:

 Then on Sunday she helped me finish the last pieces:

 In between puzzle time Emily finished sewing her cat (she made the heart a few months ago) and decorated them:

Joe spent his time on Saturday installing a new garbage disposal.  We noticed it leaking on Friday night so luckily he had the day off to get it fixed . . . with only 2 trips to the store for supplies : )

Abigail has enjoyed playing dress up a lot lately.  On Monday she wore these butterfly wings at Heather's house:

 

The girls finished 3 weeks of summer camp.  Next week we will take a week off from camp for 4th of July week!!!
