The Electric Co.

The summer is rolling by ... kindergarten for Lily is but four weeks away! We are falling down on blog duties in this ridiculous heat and we only have a couple of pictures to share this week. That, however, does not mean that it was not a busy week around here.

Let's recap ...

Monday - I can't remember what we did. I think it was a normal school day.

Tuesday - A school day plus a night at the pool. With Casey, Tracy and Kelly.

Wednesday - A normal school day plus dinner out with the family.

Thursday - School plus dinner with Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis.

Friday - A half day at school, lot's of pool time - including a no cook Friday night. Lily started jumping off the diving board on Friday. All by herself and swimming all the way to the edge. It is fantastic - she is officially entered fishdom. It was quite hot so the pool was great (it was still 93 degrees at 11 pm on Friday).

Saturday - T-ball played in a microwave oven. The field must have been a 100 degrees plus humidity but the kids stayed hydrated and had a great time. We finished off Saturday night with dinner with friends Andy and Jenn and then ice cream.

Sunday - Marcy and I went for a bike ride and Grandpa Maurice came over to visit and take the kids to breakfast. Everyone had a great time out and about. The afternoon was spent at the pool Lily's classmate Pierce belongs to. Lily continued her diving board jumping and Jack started his diving career - he leapt off three times to Marcy who was waiting to catch him. Lot's of excitement.

At the end of the day we had a mammoth storm that has knocked out power everywhere. Most of our neighbors, my work, the kids' school and the rest of the county is without power - about 2/3 of the area. Still. 30 hours later. They are saying that some will not get power back until Wednesday. Grandma Phyllis and Grandpa Maurice are without power and are roughing it a hotel. It is quite something around here!

Anyway that is all ... until Marcy reads this and adds in what I left out! :)

Lily decided that it was Julie's birthday on Saturday. So we had a party. Julie is sitting down on the left.
