I have a little narcissist on my hands.
This morning, she made me put up a picture of her that she liked, and she just stared at it and kept commenting on it.
Then, she realized that she needed a little more Pippi, so she had me FaceTime people so she could see herself live.
I guess if I was that cute, I would want to see a whole lot of myself too!
Pippi has been in Utah for the past few days.
My mom offered, and since the kids were camping, and I was cleaning, I thought it would be a huge help…plus fun for Nonnie and Bella.
But I had NOOO idea how much my kids would miss her.
And how much she missed us.
But everything picked right up the second she walked back in the door.
She got her Nigh Night (that she left behind), got her siblings to sit with her, stuck her finger in her mouth, and started demanding.
Everything is back to normal!
Every once in a while, Dash takes a hiatus from his puzzles.
But he always returns to his love of them.
Today, he asked if his summer work could be a puzzle.
I agreed, and he actually did all six sides of this puzzle.
Nice work Dash, my little puzzle master.
Dash saw Micah’s car drive up, and he raced out to hug him.
What a welcome home for any parent!
Navy is the youngest in Junior Lifeguards, and is scared of the waves. I was surprised to hear that, so we all headed to the beach for Family Night to teach her. Micah tried every trick in the book to get her in the waves, but she skirted his every try. Over and over again.
But after about an hour, Micah finally persuaded her, and they went in. I got tears in my eyes to see her trying to be brave. The waves were huge, and they only stayed in for a few sets, but SHE DID IT!
Nice work Nave.
For the first time, my kids are doing Junior Guards.
When I found out there was a 1 week course, I was willing to do away with one week of my summer.
But barely.
Scout was soooo excited. He got all of his garb ready about three times because he was so pumped.
Navy was more among for the ride.
The best part of all, was when Navy and I were walking behind Scout walking down, and she whispered in my ear, “Look mom, Scout totally has his swag on”!
This was our first sight of Junior Lifeguards.
Scout walked a little faster, but Navy slowed a little bit.
I was nervous all day, but Scout loved it!
And Navy thought it was “fine”, but did create this beautiful masterpiece for me.
Afterwards, we headed to the Hive for some celebratory Popsicle.
And then I got the real rundown.
Scout really did love it, but Navy was afraid of the waves.
Apparently, she played on the sand the whole time, when they were supposed to be swimming.
So I made a call…
it went like this, “Micah, for Family Night, I need you to teach Navy the ropes in the waves”.
So a few hours later, we were all heading back to the beach.
