Annie's had the classroom hamster all month. We were supposed to turn it over to the next kid yesterday, but with all of the excitement, we haven't been able to contact him. After hooking up the generator & turning on the air downstairs, we moved Fluffy down to Shel's room to keep him cool.

Luau!

The puppies dug a hole under the fence opposite the hole that the kids had already dug on the other side of the fence, thereby making their escape! Annie saw them come through & brought them back in. Then Shel & I cut some junk trees down so that we could move the dog house over a few feet, blocking their hole.

Sleepy baby

I cooked Cole some frozen salmon to put on a salad...actually I ended up burning the salmon and putting turkey on it instead. I found these instructions a bit confusing..."cook on medium-high FREAT"...maybe that's why I overcooked it.

Hot, hot, hot day! We got to the pool just as the lifeguards were taking their much needed safety break.

Our car window getting replaced. I worked at the school library tonight as the librarian is recovering from a surgery (the school library is open about 5-6 times in the summer.) This is one of the teachers reading to some students.

Secret Colours at SubT. When we went to the car after the show we realized that someone had smashed our back passenger seat window and they took Lauren's backpack.

One of the paraprofessionals at Gianni's school lives on a farm and invited the kids over for a morning of farm play! So fun!

This my view - ALL day! My little boy's incisor teeth are coming in and he is miserable...so sad!

We usually save the gift cards that Cole gets for his birthday/Christmas for when he really wants something. Today was the day, he got new headphones for his Xbox.

The kids were trying to spend the entire day outside today. They did pretty good. When it started raining this morning, they made a shelter for themselves & the puppies with the picnic table & an old sandbox.
