Picture explanations

Blogger has changed the settings so that when I make a post with pictures, they are in "code" and I can't tell where each one is in relation to the rest of the post. Therefore, it is a real pain to get words and captions in the post with the pictures. Hence, this post--I will narrate the pictures.

Sponge balls were very fun here on a hot day. We cut up sponges and tied them together to make the balls.
Sponge balls+kids+water=fun!

Tae Kwon Do
The kids all tested and moved up a rank. The girls are now considered "Ranking students" and have orange belts. The boys are now gold belts and are eligible to spar. However, they are not being allowed to spar until they can show both Master Wyatt and me that they can stop hitting people at home.

That picture of my Mary shrine is showing you how Sunnie sits on top of the fence and scares away my bird friends. I thought it was funny how he was being so naughty, but sitting right there with Our Blessed Mother like he's an angel!

Haircuts
I cut Amy and Sarah's hair because it was so difficult to deal with when they swim (which translates to everyday). They have always balked at the thought of giving their hair to anyone else and therefore would not consider a Locks of Love donation. However, this time they were game and we have even received an acknowledgement card from LoL already. It was a lot of hair and boy, it has made a difference in the time it takes to brush out.

Swimming--well, that one just tells it like it is. We love our pool, even it if does look like we are hicks. We would not be able to go to a public pool very often, so this has been a great investment. Yes, we do need landscaping.
