"It was your fault Daddy, but you're still a good Daddy."
-Isla
When PePa came over he had a surprise announcement for the kids. Something was in our front yard. As it turns out, that something was a turtle. It hung out under one of our bushes for awhile and we thought it was going to lay eggs. It didn’t and we eventually took it back to the pond.
Our house made two big acquisitions this week. First, James found a pile of books he likes from a friend looking to pass them on. We also caved in and bought a new pool after all the cheaper inflatable pools kept getting holes in them. Now our back porch is taken up by a pool. The kids are having a lot of fun in it though, so I suppose losing the porch space is worth it.
James tested successfully for his next belt, the time orange. Unlike last time, each kid had to get up by themselves in front of the entire class to perform their forms. Also unlike last time, the celebration was at Chuck E. Cheese and they filled up the entire birthday party area. It was nuts, but James was proud of the extra work he put into learning the forms so he could get his new belt. We’re proud too.
This was Father’s Day weekend and the kids were able to celebrate all the Dads in town. From swimming, to breakfast, to fajita dinners the kids ran from place to place handing out homemade cards and gifts. Happy Father’s Day dads!
