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!!!

Laser Show

Today is our 17th Anniversary!!!!  We will celebrate by going to dinner later this week.  Today we enjoyed our evening with a take out sushi dinner after the kids were in bed . . .

Last night we went to the Laser show at Stone Mountain.  We got there around 7:00 and set up our blanket and then went walking around for a bit.

 

 

 

 It started to rain about the time we sat down to wait for the laser show.  Abigail asked to get in her stroller to get out of the rain:

 

 It rained for about an hour and we got soaked : )  I told the girls they have always wanted to play in the rain so now was their chance to do it:

 

 

 

 

Happy Anniversary Joe : )

 

 It stopped raining about the time the show started so we were wet . . . but enjoyed watching the laser show.  A fun evening!

Children's Museum

On Friday we met several of Emily's Pre-K friends at the Children's Museum.  The kids had a blast.  They had an area with tap shoes so Abigail wore these alot of the time while we were there:

 The last time we came to the museum was when Emily turned 2.  Now . . .

 

and 3 and 1/2 years ago . . . 

 

 

 Lunch time with friends!

 Abigail found this rabbit at one of the exhibits and he had to eat lunch with us:

 

 A great day spent with some sweet friends:
