This Week at Our House # 30

1. John had a meeting and got a new contract that extends him to the end of the month. 
2. I took the kids to Pineview ressvoir for a day at the lake. We had a wonderful time swimming and playing in the sand and picnicking. I LOVE swimming in lakes, especially when they are clean. I love that you can swim out so far in so many direction. It was really nice to take an actual vacation day. I would like to do it a couple more times before school starts again in 2 weeks.
3. Ruth had an ordinary week of work. We went to the lake on her day off and I know she had a real lovely time. Though she did get pretty badly burned.
4. Kate did not go to the lake for girl reasons. But she cleaned the house and made peanut butters for the family. 
5. Johnny had a hard time figuring out what to do with himself while Adam went to day camp with the cub scouts. 
6. Adam had a good time at day camp. But after being too disrespectful and ornery, he ended the week being grounded from computer games until September. He keeps telling me that I am being too harsh. What he doesn't realize is that I never regret limiting screen time. 
7. Rachel loved the lake and swimming out really far. She did a good job too.
8. Anya said that her favorite thing last week was winning part of poptropica on the computer. Oh my!
9. Joseph had fun swimming. He is looking forward to going back to the lake.
10. It took some coaxing, but once he was comfortable, Josh really had a lot of fun in the water.
11. Arwen is a regular fish. She loves to swim. She is confident and comfortable in the water and only needs minimal flotation assistance.
12. Suzy is getting 6 teeth in right now. 2 are almost finished coming in, but four haven't broken through and are bothering her plenty. I know she is grumpy because of her teeth because she calms down when I massage her gums.
