Summer Camp

This week the girls started their summer camps.  It's at the preschool they went to this past school year.  They had a good time and it allowed me to work.  We went to the pool and Emily has gotten so much better at going under water.  She now goes under for several seconds and even started putting her head under water and swimming some.  She took her arm floaties off to do that and it's been so fun watching her push herself to do more.

On Saturday I cleaned the house and Emily laid out her stuffed animals and for each one she chose some fabric from her fabric box and made dresses for each one by tying the fabric to the animal with ribbon.  She is so creative:


 We also spent this week playing lots of games.  One afternoon we played several rounds of Uno, 2 games of Sorry, 1 round of Yahtzee and that evening we taught her how to play Phase 10.  Each night we would play several rounds of Phase 10 and Emily would keep a card of what phase we were on at the end of the night.  She beat us Sunday night by finishing Phase 10.

Abigail has gotten more attached to her stuffed animals.  She carries this puppy with her everywhere and he has to be in the bed with her too.  This was a puppy my dad got her for Christmas one year:
 We've also enjoyed eating lots of fruits this summer season:
 And the pot where we planted our seeds a couple of months ago, finally produced a flower:
On Saturday evening we went to dinner with some friends while all the kids stayed at our house with the babysitter.  It was an enjoyable evening!
