Summer

It's now summer. I'm trying not to blink as it seems to be going by too fast. The kids have been busy and i've had to keep them at the right place at the right time. June 25th was the last day of school. The pool also opened that day.

In ran Alex after school and off to the pool he went. Son #1 is old enough and can swim enough to go alone to the pool. There is 3-4 lifegaurds watching it at all times so I know he's safe. He did sleep at home for a night. Then it started, he was off to a friends house for a few nights. July 1-10 he was at camp and my dad's house. Slept at home another night and then July 11-15 he was in Winnipeg with my dad, slept at his house the night he came back. Yesterday his friend asks if he can sleep over at his grandpa's house. I call Alex and find out what he needs so I can pack an overnight bag and take what he has to wash. Last night he slept at his friends grandpas and won't be home until it's time to go to the Chill game tonight. He will sleep at my house tonight but then from July 18-24 he is at Camp Gitchigomee. In a month I think he has slept at home MAYBE 5 nights. This is a boy who was all excited that he was going to be able to see his friends all summer as i'm still laid off and haven't found another job, which means no daycare for them. At least he is keeping busy.

Zachary had VBS the first week out of school, Camp Gitchigomee the second week, cooking class Monday - Thursday this past week and is now slowed right down. He has snuck in a couple nights at Granddad's camp too. Tomorrow at church we have a bbq and petting zoo to kick of our VBS - which he will attend. A much slower summer for him.

Then there's the Princess, this is her summer to go on a trip with her Nana. Her summer started like Zachary's did, vbs, Gitchimomee (they were same week) and cooking class. However after cooking on Thursday we bought her pretty white sandals to go with her knock out dresses and off the airport she went. She is in Prince Edward Island for the week. She does arrive home until Wednesday at 11:11pm. She is in for one heck of a surprise when she does. That will be another blog entry though.

Timothy has had great fun with his mommy. He's been too young still do do what the big kids have. The one thing he can do is go camping with Granddad because he is house broken. He went for a couple nights and that was long enough, he was ready to see his mommy again. He had so much fun and all the pictures, even the ones he didn't know were being taken he had a big smile on his face. He gets to go back to camp after church tomorrow for a couple nights. He will love the petting zoo. He will be able to go to VBS at our church when he comes home from camp. His big thing this summer is gymnastics. He is enjoying it very much.

We also have season tickets for the chill so this weekend and next we will be enjoying the entertainment. Last night they were in white uniforms and it rained, it took my dad about 1/2 the game to realize what I meant when I said it would be extra good tonight. They won last night sealing a spot in the playoffs for themselves for the 4th straight year.
