A Busy Good Week

Is it just me or has June just completely flown by? I mean, after 70 days of March it seems reasonable that June with the possibility of actually doing things with no schooling responsibilities would seem to go much faster. But still, I am a little shocked that the 4th of July is already next weekend. 

This week has been full of good. This week started out exactly like the Carpenter's hit, Rainy Days and Mondays. (It was rainy on Monday.) So the first day of swim lessons was canceled, but I made jam so it turned out okay. 


Tuesday was the perfect day. After swim we played outside and M wore this buff and she seriously looked like she was on Survivor. Short shorts, (that are only for playing outside at home, I didn't realize they were so short when I bought them) a tank top, a buff over crazy hair. It made me laugh anyway. 


C has his lesson first, so each kid has time to kill. We've been reading, doing Extreme Dot to Dots, and riding our scooters in the neighborhood when it's not our turn in the pool. 



We are very thankful that our friend was offering swim lessons at her pool. With all the public pools closed, our choices were limited. We are very happy with how they are going, other friends have been disappointed by their "in-home" lesson opportunities. 

Wednesday we had a park playdate with friends. It was a lot of fun!


But it was hot so we got Jr. Frostys on the way home to cool off. 



Yesterday the long-awaited Baby Yoda arrived!


And we made the much-anticipated strawberry pie as well. It did not disappoint! 


My mom snapped this picture of M on Skype. She put the phone down to put her shoes on. It's just so funny to us. 



This morning I snagged some pictures of the very end of each lesson. It's during their free time so they aren't great, and I was far away. But it's still nice to see them succeed. Today was Friday Fun Day so the sprinklers were turned on. 




We also found out that our town is getting a Nothing Bundt Cakes! And I am SO excited! It's my favorite! I hope you have had a speedy June full of fun stuff. We certainly have! 

I also managed to process the bulk of the strawberries. Between eating fresh tasty ones, 9 jars of jam, a pie, 2 batches of strawberry sauce, and freezing 3 gallons we only have a few left to process up. (We will probably freeze more yet as well.) The kids did a nice job not picking bad ones so our waste has been minimal. Go us!
