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.

Where we went Mon.-Wed.
The kids and I were invited to go to the mnountains with a friend and her kids and we had a great time. It was blessedly cool there everyday, and very quiet. It was a 4+ hour drive, and well worth it. Thanks, Monica and gang!

Tired, tired, really tired
I got out of bed at 10:15 this morning. The kids were watching TV so I sat in my chair to watch with them, and fell asleep. Finally I just gave up and went back to bed until about 12:15. Seems like every once in a while I have a day where I am tired and hurt all over and today was that day again. I was able to sew a bit this afternoon and finished a quilt top that I've been working on. Tonight I still hurt, so will get to bed before long. Hope your Saturday was better.

Editing that last post
OK Everything on the schedule DID happen. There were some glitches, such as;
I didn't account for the time it took to clean up the jar of marshmallow fluff that landed on the tile floor.
Sparring took longer than expected and we arrived home at 8:18 after TKD.
Played basketball in the drive in their pajamas while I got supper and had a phone call with Matt.
Chasing the frog out of the garage and calming T (he's terrified of frogs) took a bit of time.
Bedtime and blessing was at 10:09.
I however, am on schedule here at the computer. Heading downstairs now to knit and watch the news.
How was your day?
