1st Day Of Summer Break

Today we had great fun, we started out by making homemade mini pizzas. The kids love to help make the pizza they do the cheese, sausage, and pepperoni. I do the sauce and rolling out the dough.

After we ate our pizza we were on our way out the door to go play when the neighborhood kids came over. We asked if they wanted to go with us, so we talked to their parents, Maria across the street decided to come with us since she was babysitting 3 kids and didn't want to leave them behind. So there was 12 of us who ended up going. We went and hung out next to the Denver Museum, there is this huge water works place where it shoots water up into the air. It sounds almost like fireworks when the water goes up. When we came home we finished the day by having strawberry, kiwi, banana shakes with cheese its.

Running through the water.

Group pic! (Sorry most of the kids are girls, and they all "love" Lyndall. LOL)

P.S. Total cost = gas, sunscreen, and water bottle.

Rain Gutter Regatta

Lyndall and his boat that he made.Racing down actual rain gutters.

He came in 3rd place. This is his 3rd place prize, he also got a ribbon for building the boat.

Sable was happy to play with his boat at the end.

Gifts From Sable

Very often we get "gifts" from Sable. Such gifts are usually found in the pages of our books, under pillows, on the computer desk, or she just gives them to us. These gifts are always wrapped or put into an envelope and include a note that says "Frum Sable" and to mom or dad.

Such gifts have been:
a screw
my necklace (given to me)
rocks
shells
pictures
pennies
paper clips
pencil
or just something she made

In other words I guess she is at least a very, very giving person. What can I say she loves us!

Pack 523

Lyndall was so excited to had finally join Cub Scouts. He has a friend, Christopher, from class in it already. He will be going in as a Webelos for next year. I really wish that we had put him in much sooner. In his pack they start in second grade, oh well. This Friday he gets to participate in the Raingutter Regatta. He is so excited to do his first little project.
