Some indoor activities

It has been a while since we crafted, so last monday we went to the craft store and bought stuff to make masks.

Here are the cuties, busy at work.  Kelsey picked out sparkley stars and Ethan insisted on sports stickers.  We also used a few things that we already had at home in the craft box.
Kelsey wanted to decorate more than just her mask.
Here is the finished pruduct.
Today we took the kids to see Toy Story 3.  It is FABULOUS!  I laughed so much.  Anyone who has ever liked Toy Story should go see this, even if you don't have kids.  I think it is the best one they ever made.  Disney rarely dissapoints.

June

My May month was full of fun plans and as expected, it flew by quickly.  For June I had ZERO plans and was afraid it was going to CRAWL by so slowly.  So I planned on doing a few projects for Juliet's room to occupy my time.  Then church hit and I couldn't catch a break - with getting a new calling, teaching a releif society lesson, doing a disaster preparedness night, and speaking in sacrament meeting, the last couple of weeks have disappeared and none of my planned projects even got started. 
Also, I am quite dialated and I have many contractions in the evenings (not consistent enough to be active labor) and I could go into labor any second so every night I wonder if this is going to be the night.  I am ready for this child to get here!  I am tired of the suspense.
Now it is too hot to go outside.  I told the children that they can't go outside unless we are swimming.  I am afraid that they will pass out from heat exhaustion.  We hate to be in all day, so swimming is what we do.  Happily we have a clubhouse and pool in our community that we pay an HOA fee to maintain, so we can go swimming for free, and we do.  Almost every day.  It is just around the corner from our house, not even a full block away, so we grab our floaties and walk on down to it.  I finally took the camera along yesterday so I could click a couple of pictures and preserve a memory of how we spent the ENTIRE summer.


We are all getting nice little tans and a little bit of exersize in the process.
Kelsey admitted to me yesterday that she likes swimming more than dance.  We will have to do swimming lessons pretty soon, I think.
