Is it August, Already?
Whew, what a week it’s been.. Last Sunday, Brian had his reading class, and things seemed mostly normal.. Until our fridge died. Ugh! Brandon and I missed some of our family dinner time as we went to Sears and quickly bought a new fridge before closing time. It was delivered on Wednesday, sometime after 11:30pm–yikes!

At Lego Club this morning, Brian made a fun habitat for a blue whale! He was able to answer some trivia questions, too, thanks to the IMAX movie he’d just seen at Marbles camp that about whales. This afternoon, Kendall started working on her Mermaid excavation kit. Can’t wait to see what it looks like, once she gets it free of the blue plaster brick it came in! The resulting dust sure is making a mess of the...
