Busy Week!

We have had an incredibly busy week! We had two guests from Sunday to Wednesday, Renée Elizabeth and Jacob. Monday we stayed at the house until the swim meet. Alicia did her best swim yet. She has really surprised us with her determination. She won two first place ribbons in freestyle and backstroke beating out 2 6 year olds. Aquiles won 2nd and 6th place ribbons; he would really like to win a 1st place ribbon and is finding the adjustment to his sister receiving a lot of attention difficult. I assured him he has his own talents and has received several accolades at school while Alicia has stood by. I hope she finds school as easy as Aquiles.

Tuesday I thought we would get out of the house, so I planned swim practice, movie (there a free movies which play during the week at a local cinema), library, and Witte museum (hands on science museum which is free Tues afternoons). Oh yeah, and I invited Zach and Morgan to come along. What was I thinking? I was so exhausted that I called Jamie when we were leaving the museum and asked him if he could pick up pizza on his way home. After the pizza we put a movie in and I laid on the floor and was asleep by 7:30.

Wednesday was FISH camp day at church. I was in charge of crafts and Renée Elizabeth was volunteered to help out with a group of kids. The kids has a great time. Needless to say today I am taking it easy. After swim practice we came home and I have done some light cleaning and taken a nap. I love summer!
