Summer Fun

So here is a glimpse of our summer so far ...

Swimming lessons at the Aquatic Center.

He is working SO hard.

Learning to mow with Daddy.

VBS

Riley singing to Jesus.

Riley with his school and church buds.

Lazy afternoon playing the Wii (Victoria isn't really playing).

Laying on the steps ... seemed fun at the time.

Ready for bed ... complete with goggles.

Riley: "Mom ... I need a pencil, paper and tape."
Shortly after, I discovered this sign posted on his door.
"Don't Come in Here. Stop"
I do believe that Riley had enough of little sis messing up his room.

At the Frank Buck Zoo. Really great zoo if you don't mind the drive to Gainesville.

Playing at the park with friends from church.

Swimmin' at Pops and Gigis.

I believe that this is Riley frozen in carbonite (think Han Solo, Empire Strikes Back).

After a long day swimmin', she fell asleep ... with her fingers in her ears.

Progress on our summer reading chart. We started off slow, but are finally picking up momentum.

And then there are the two teeth that Riley pulled himself within 24 hours of each other. So brave. He's just growing up so fast. Victoria pretty much just follows Riley around the house all day. They get along fairly well. I break-up at least a half dozen arguments/fights/tiffs/disagreements a day. BUT, they bounce back so quickly and are all hugs and kisses and each other's best friend the next second.

And I have had some fun too. A Girls Night Out, Pampered Chef Party, Purse Party and we finally bought some new flooring! YAY! Hoping to install flooring on July 4th weekend. It is amazing what the Thompson family can do to brand-new carpet in the course of just one year. It's actually pretty gross.
