Oh, Goodness

These last five days have just past by with serious neglect to this lovely little spot of mine. The days have been warm and I have been sleepy. My nights have not been going so well. Eric was away for two of them and the boys camped out in bed with me. They seem to sleep much better when we share a bed- not always the same holds true for me, although I do like having them close.

We have spent our days at the pool and library. The library hosts free programs over the summer. So far this week we have learned about dragons, fireflies and stars.  William decided to join the summer reading program.  He doesn't really need an incentive to read but really wanted the little prizes they pass out. He loves keeping track of the hours he reads and is surprised at how much it has added up in just  a few short days. 

I read a book in a day. Something I haven't done in awhile but when we spend 7 hours at the pool, it makes it easy. The boys both took a diving lesson and loved it. Landon has now joined Will and can dive by himself off the board.

We had BMX racing on Tuesday. Both boys are racing hard but we still managed to have a crash before the end of the evening. Oh, the scars these boys have. Each one with its own memory.

Already the second week of July coming to a close. Time is moving fast. We are trying our best to enjoy the lazy days of summer.
