Summer Fun

It's summer, which means life is random and busy. Mostly busy keeping the kids from beating each other up or driving me insane. Rachel and Jimmy are great at slugging the crud out of each other all in the name of friendly wrestling. They also have a hard time leaving Jacob alone, who does not enjoy being mauled or carried around. Anna is the typical picked on older sibling, who no one wants to play with. Mostly because her favorite hobbies involve creating Miis on the Wii, some recent ones including her teacher, school friends, and grandparents, and playing beauty shop. I was treated to a make-over today and ended up looking like a street walker from Las Vegas. Jacob does his best to find destructive dangerous purposes for everything in our house, with the latest favorites including climbing into the cold oven and emptying dishes on to the tile floor. But he also is very cute and gotten quite good at giving kisses. In my free moments I have found time to keep up on family history, reading, home improvement projects, and yard work. So far the summer has been good. Lots of swimming, playing, and having fun. Plus I cannot wait to have some fresh zucchini from our garden. Life is good!
