this week

No pictures, just words!
Sunday  -celebrated Pete's birthday with one last family dinner

Monday- Girls started a camp from 9-noon each day at Kim Plumbs house. Each day crafts, swimming, games, snack and more. They love it. Each day there is a theme, princess day, garden day, under the sea day, etc.
After camp I took the girls to get a hair cut and then we went to Calvin's school to see his belt testing. He got his blue belt. It was amazing seeing him in Karate. He led the class in warm ups and did a great job. He is has done so well at school. It is such a great place for him. I hope that his next school will be also.  Then we spent the rest of the day at aquatic and came home for bed. I might have mentioned to Clare that I take them out to have fun so they'll get tired and be ready for bed!

Tues - Calvin's last day of school. After school we went swimming at the Whiteheads and then headed over to say hello to the Konolds, love them so much, and then to the  McBrides for dinner and more swimming. Julie and I sat in the hot tub for an hour talking when the kids went in to play wii. It was such a special time. We are so busy we don't have nearly as much time to spend together as we'd like.  Got home at 9 and went right to bed.

Wed- This morning Veronica Brown and Valerie Sabin came to help pack my kitchen. Literally as fast as I could get dishes out of my cupboards, they were packed away. We got it all done in a couple of hours. Valerie stayed and helped until I finally threw her out at 4:30. She is an amazing worker, even in my super hot house!! I could hardly keep up with her!  Jo stayed with Paula most of the day and after camp the girls went home with Amy Sabin to play. Jonny Franz came over to play with Calvin.  Lots of work done today and we're really starting to look packed up. Many more hours of work left to do but today was amazing. So thankful for the help.

I have to say that so far we're having so much fun making the rounds and saying good bye that it's not even sad yet! I'm sure it'll eventually hit me, but for now I'm loving spending all this time with dear friends.

Tomorrow - Girls have the last day of dance class. Clare has book club (book is Sarah, Plain and Tall) and then no plans in the afternoon. Elijah Castillo will come over to hang with Calvin for a bit.  We'll probably watch Heaven is for Real. I also need to let Jo catch up on some sleep. She's been several days without a nap and with lots of activities and is really dragging.
