Busy busy busy

Why do I have less time in the summer?! I thought I'd have all this time to do stuff but I am mostly running the boy around to camp/playdates. So it's kinda my fault, but I really wanted him to not be as isolated this year, so there we go!

Soccer is over. Next week is video camp and then off to the Tetons before the Fireworks concert and more swim lessons. I have been really liking this swim teacher - HS guy with a pool in his yard, he's captain of the swim team and all that. Lots of fun, and D is thriving on the individual attention. Costs a bit more than the group lessons but so worth it, and we go when *I* have time. Nice.

J had his 51st this week, went to a lovely steak place we hadn't been to with ponytail-less B and P. I think he enjoyed it, and it was kind of a surprise. I told him I was dropping off D at 5 and I had a meeting, but when he came out I told him to get in the car and I whisked him away to parts unknown! Not very thrilling gifts (new pants, jerky and a book) but I am hoping to do a fun activity like kayaking the little Spokane this weekend. But that may be more of a present for ME, I think he wants to nap all weekend, given the choice!

Coat weather

Middle of July and we're wearing our winter coats again...fun times. But this may be good because they seeded the lawn today(!!!) and I guess cool weather is best. In theory, we now have a sprinkler system and newly contoured acreage with lovely grass coming soon.

D has been busy with day camps this summer, 2 soccer camps, video game creating camp (next week), swimming lessons and a trip to grama and grampa's. We'll be going over to the Tetons to visit Auntie C, then the Catheyfest and Hoopfest on the coast! Go go go! Coming home just in time to play for a gig at the country club, and then symphony starts up again.

This fall D starts his new school, he met the teacher last spring, but then I found out there will be a new 4th grade teacher this fall. Kind of annoyed they didn't mention this, but hopefully we can meet his new teacher sometime this summer - I've heard she is lovely.

Seems like I should have more to report, but that's about it! Hoping to wear short sleeves before the end of July...
