Swimming Lessons - check
We had two picnic in the city after lessons with her friend and one evening playdate followed by a sleepover with her friend the next night in the camper. This was the first time she has had a friend sleepover.
They had a great time, playing Barbies, colouring and watching movies on the laptop. Then they fell asleep side by side in the double bed. The had a full day of playing the next day as well.
Sunday was a day of cleaning for us, and Little Miss kept herself quite busy making invitations for her upcoming Fairy Tea Party. This will take place next week in her Secret Woods.
My little Man is convince he may be Spiderman, and cannot get enough of wearing Spidey shirts and slinging webs around the house. He also decided to start speaking this week! “Help”
He also demonstrated how he can shimmy off the deck without using stairs! Eeeek.
My brother has arrived here for vacation - the next two weeks will be full of adventures with cousins. She was pretty excited to see them today.

Start of Summer
Little Miss decorated her bike for the Canada Day bike rodeo and won first prize. She danced in the street with her ballet class at a festival. Has a lovely Henna tattoo on her hand and many Canada flag ones too. Party with friends for the fireworks, followed by starting swimming lessons today with her best friend from school.
She declared that this weekend was some of the “best days ever”.
Mama is getting a bit creaky in the joints, I will have to watch myself that I pace my weekends a bit better. Tonight the little man was too tired to eat and barely made it through a bath. The tub has a ring of dirt - so he had a great day too!
Little Miss is busy in her day camp all week. The little man has needles and assessment with Public Health - ouch!

Crashing into Summer
Today is also day two of a new healthy eating living leaf for me. I wil I think the summer is going to fly by, and I hope to enjoy each day. I will try to keep a short record of our days here. I made a great discovery on my bookshelf this evening, a set of five Newberry Award winning books. I think I picked them up years ago at a Yard Sale…so we may start into these this summer too. It has: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle, The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pene Du Bois, Strawberry Girl by Lois Lenski, Rabbit Hill by Robert Lawson and Rollar Skates by Ruth Sawyer.
