Smores!

My kids LOVE smores! Dad got out the sterno can to toast the marshmallows, but Chase saw a recipe to make them in the microwave on the marshmallow bag. Yippee! Less mess. At least until you eat them. Carys had chocolate all over!


Can you see it on her eyelid?


Speaking of Carys, she has been having bad dreams during her naps recently. They wake her up, but she's really still half asleep. If you've gone in to comfort her, she'll fall back asleep with you hold her. Gerren really loves her most of the time. He specifically requested this picture!

When we got home from the timeshare, activities were in full swing. We had something extra every single day this week. Whew! Greg was also home all week on the computer looking for a job. Unfortunately, he's not had a single interview. Please pray for a job for him and for my attitude which is NOT good.

I'm teaching Dave Ramsey's Foundations in Personal Finance class to 12 homeschooled high school students this fall. We had our first class this week, and it went really well. I'm looking forward to the rest of them. Chase had her first girl's choir practice and guitar lesson this week (thankfully we had paid in advance for the semester of guitar) and got to go over to a friend's house Thursday afternoon.

Here are the promised pictures from our timeshare finally!

Dad supervises the construction.


Carys enjoyed the beach more this year than last.


What a little model!


Landon really enjoyed fishing again this year.


This was the only kind of fishing Chase did.


We went to the Southwest Florida Museum in Bradenton one day. It includes a planetarium and aquarium. We got in free with our reciprocal museum passes.

We got in on the feeding of the 61-year-old manatee, Snooty. The girls listened attentively.


I love these photo ops!
