Our Week (weeks) in Review June 8-21

Our days have been mostly the same.  After waking and eating breakfast we go outside and take care of animals, complete some household chores, and back outside until lunch.  After lunch the children had been swimming and working on indoor activities until after supper when it was time to go back out to take care of animals again.  In the evenings we have been working on outdoor projects and swimming again. 

Except Wednesdays when we go to the park to walk and then have a picnic at Chelsea's.  This week we actually played on the playground for the first time since February.

And Fridays when the girls have music lessons and we head to the church for that.

We did have some animal excitement with a pig that needed some extra watching over (I had to call the people we bought him from to come look him over!) and some medicine but he seems to be better now.

Willow is really walking now.  She is all over the place!  She went from taking just a few steps to crossing the room in just a few days.


And Liam turned 3!  It has been a fast three years.  Chelsea had rented a little condo at the lake and invited us to come up for a few hours to celebrate Liam's birthday.  The swim beaches are still closed (the state has opened them but our local swim beaches opted to stay closed) so we couldn't swim but we did walk down to the marina to get snow cones.  Liam had a really good time opening his presents and eating his cake. He is such a big boy now!

Nick and Alex both were hired at Sonic.  They are not working the same shifts (this is not a bad thing) but it is close enough that we can provide transportation for Alex.  His scheduled road test for August was cancelled due to Covid.  They are not reopening anytime soon so if he wants to take it we have to go to a "big" city about an hour away.  We need to make plans and figure out when he can be ready to go take it.

Our pool sprang a leak :(   We cannot find it so our swimming days may be at an end.  It will be a long hot summer with no pool and no swim beach.  We can swim off our camp site on our next camping trip in a few weeks though so there is that :) and we do have a sprinkler.
