The kids have been enjoying their time swinging, reading, riding bikes, and playing with Legos together.
The other day we made the trek over to the home of my best friend's parents. They live on five acres, and we usually go twice a week. The kids have two forts that they work on, as well as just roam the wilderness there. When we were there on Monday Myles caught a snake and enjoyed holding it for quite some time. I think this was the first time he was actually able to catch it all by himself.Aeva dug up a rabitt. They had found it just after it died two months ago. A fun science experiment in decomposition. At least she thought it was very interesting, which very much surprised me. I love how I am always learning something new about my kids.
Rhaevyn had her first official babysitting job. It's a hard industry to get into in our ward at church because there are so many young women. She was super excited and it went really well. One of the little girls cried when she had to leave.
Aeva held her second Paparazzi party. She loves playing hostess. She earned herself two necklesses and two headbands. Elsa enjoyed getting to pick out a new headband, since her other one is about worn to shreds, and a new bracelet.
And while the party was going on Myles and Chris were off having some fun of their own. Myles said he just could not be here while the party was going on because it was a girl thing, and the boys would have to be off doing something else. So, Chris took him out to the "country" and they went target practicing with bow and arrows. Chris didn't tell him what they were doing. It was a total surprise, and Myles came home on cloud 9!
Rhaevyn started her cooking class on Tuesday. It has started out a bit rough and not what she had hoped..................it's been an eye opener as far as all the not so nice things that go on in public school. Today they are supposed to start cooking and running the restaurant onsite. We are praying that it gets better for her, and we keep reminding her that there are only three weeks left with two days off next week.
I had a grand time last Saturday getting the rest of the school books. I really have so much fun doing that.
One more week of summer vacation left and then time to start up again...... just in time for that 90 degree weather.
