During Lydia’s acting camp on Tuesday, I took the other kids to the splash pad.
Then we dried off, picked up Lydia and Eli, and stopped at both the Provo and Orem libraries for books. I let the kids play at the Orem Library.
By that time, Abe was done with work! So he came and rescued us. The kids were going crazy and it was so helpful to have Abe there to corral them.
Then we went home and ate another cobb salad which Abe had the foresight to prepare yesterday. It was delicious, and our favorite part is that everyone is QUIET while they eat cobb salad. The kids don’t complain! They don’t whine! They don’t ask for forks–spoons–napkins–more water–snack food–dessert–or ANYTHING AT ALL. They just eat.
It’s amazing. We are going to eat a lot more cobb salad this summer.
After dinner, Lydia had a harp lesson, and I got my daily Dairy Queen. It’s such a bad habit. Also, on Tuesday Clarissa refused to nurse at all, so I think being done with nursing will really help these cravings (I hope).
While we were out, Abe was valiantly bathing and putting down the kids. He took these pictures:
We came home and visited with our neighbor, Josh, and then tidied the house. Clarissa has decided never to nap or go to bed these days, so she was up until 10pm. Abe and I are exhausted and burnt out. But we are also having a great summer, so there’s that to consider as we fall into bed without even having time to talk about our day each night.
