The recital takes us up to the end of May. Here is what we did during June. If I had a camera I would show you a picture montage. But my camera does not work anymore so I will make a list for you.
1st week of June - errands, shopping, packing
2nd week of June - BEACH: went to Litchfield with both sets of grands. It was awesome and I'm so glad we got to go. However, I think if you have kids along during the "vacation" then it's not really a vacation. It's just life in a different city. There are still breakfasts to make, diapers to change, naps to enforce, bedtimes, etc. Anyways, we ate tons of delicious seafood, made new memories with our families, and had fun. T$ got to play putt-putt for the first time and this was also theEdge's first time at the beach. He loved it...always pointing out the windows of our condo towards the ocean. A few times we took him to the pool and he always fussed and pointed to the ocean. He loved sitting and playing in the sand, scooting around looking for a sand castle to destroy, and trying to eat things he shouldn't be eating. T$ loved the beach as she always has, meaning she prefers to get in as far as her ankles. She is not a fan of the waves and prefers having a hand(or two) to hold onto. So....she also enjoyed the pool where there are no waves and where she could "swim" with her floaties on.
3rd week of June - wedding and VBS: B and I left Litchfield on Friday to head to Columbia where B presided over his first wedding. He married two of our former college students in a beautiful and sweet ceremony. We came home Saturday evening, said goodbye to my folks on Sunday morning(who drove the kids home from the beach), went to church...Monday we hit the ground running at Summer Spectacular(what you call VBS if you're cool). I spent all Sunday afternoon with my c0-teacher getting our room and activities together. Monday through Friday we were at church by 8:45am and usually left around 12:30pm. This mama was tuckered out by the end of the week. But it was amazing and I feel so blessed to help each year. Once again, I taught K5 Missions and got to talk about missionaries from all over the world to a bunch of almost-first-graders. We had a really sweet bunch and they were very receptive to the lessons. T$ also had a blast as it was her first time to get to participate. She moved to each station(there are 5) with her class but said that Music was her favorite. No surprise there. She is still singing about the Boomerang Express...it all comes back to Jesus....
4th week of June - nothing...just recuperating from a busy week last week. My house hasn't been cleaned since the end of May so I am slowly working my way through each room. Organizing, putting away, and cleaning. It is going slowly and may take til the end of July. Even though we had a yard sale in May, I still feel like we have too much stuff. And I also got the big idea this month that we should do some room swaps - make the "den" into a playroom and make the "living room" into a family room. But I'm not sure if that can work in regards to our furniture and the way it functions for us. I don't want to spend money just to swap rooms. (that was a tangent) T$ had Cheer Camp this afternoon at church and I'm excited to hear how it goes. theEdge woke up with a fever, sneezing, and a runny nose so hopefully he will feel better soon. I am taking T$ to meet Meme on Friday. She will spend a few days in Nashville with her grands before coming back next week with my mom. Mom will hang out here with us over the July 4th weekend and return home just in time for my Girl's Beach Weekend(woot woot)!
So that pretty much sums up the month of June. No money in the foreseeable future for a new camera, so I will have to bum pics off the internet or other friends. Bummer.
