God has blessed us with a summer that has been full of days. I didn't realize how much you can pack into one summer day in our family!
Scott started remodeling our master bathroom the last week of April...let's see, that makes it....never mind, it's not finished yet! We have two agreements in this project - he works on the project and I can't ask "When will it be done?"!!! His days are full with working from 3:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. five days a week and from 3:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. on Saturday mornings, then the project...
Alyssa has had a summer "job" earning money for her school. She is selling "World's Finest Chocolates" four mornings a week and I get to be her manager and chauffeur! Lots of "fun" and we make the best of it. We also have an agreement - she stays cheerful and positive and when it hits 91 degrees on the outdoor thermometer reading, we go HOME! Chocolate doesn't do well over that temperature. She hit the twenty-five case mark and earned at $25.00 prize for her work, so we went shopping on Friday afternoon. I talked her out of several items (junk...), so she's holding on until she finds exactly what she needs and wants. That's hard to do, even at my age! We are also working on crafts in the afternoons, plus playing with Kate.
Jessica has been working full-time at Noah's Ark Learning Center and loves being there. She has done a lot of animal artwork on the walls, worked with two-year olds, after-schoolers, billing, and teaching.
She has had some tests done to diagnose what is causing her blood sugar problems. We received a negative result for celiac disease and we are praising the Lord. I don't know if I could live without wheat products and I don't know if I want to find out...
Victoria is a very busy mother and housekeeper. I believe she cleans her house every day, does laundry every other day, and takes great care of Kate.
I am one that likes a routine and schedule in stone, but that has not been the case this summer! The Lord knows what we all need, sometimes it is the unexpected!
