W tried out for the high school's musical- this coming year they will be performing "The Pirates of Penzance." He has practices all summer long :) and I love listening to him sing. Gilbert and Sullivan were so clever with words!
M is still working hard, but I think I've convinced her that taking one day off each week is a good idea. Next week she'll be camping with the young women, and I will miss her but I'm sure she will have fun.
H went to TWO scout day camps last week- one for the bear scouts (his age group) and one for the webelos (they're 10, and his birthday is this month, so he was invited to this one, too). One of the activities was archery, and he got a bulls-eye! He has also decided that he really likes boondoggle (a weaving craft with plastic cord).
Jared is working, as always. He's been able to fish a little bit, and took the boy scouts (12-14 year-olds) camping last Friday/Saturday. This summer he has several camp-outs planned for scouting, and one for the family. I think he'd be happy with another 2 or 3, but that's all that he could fit in around his work schedule.
I'm very sad that my allergies are so severe this summer. It has been so beautiful outside, and I sneeze whenever I open the doors or windows. But I'm getting some knitting done, and enjoying the fruits of our garden (rhubarb and strawberries right now), and I am grateful for anti-histamines.
I've missed my gratitude list, so I'm making one today:
* good music
* podcasts
* kids who want to earn money, because they'll do all sorts of extra jobs like deep-cleaning cars.
* beautiful yarn and fiber
* a working washer and dryer
* stain removers
* dry air, because I can hang my clothing out and it dries in an hour or so.
* hot cocoa :) it never gets old
* free patterns!
* my family.
* new nieces and nephews
* my family is healthy and well.
* God is good
