Cleaning!!!

OK if you have been wondering why I haven't been blogging it's because I have been cleaning up and out. I think in general you could say that teachers are notorious for having a summer project list and I have a long one this year. I am starting with closets. We are having a garage sale on Saturday and I am trying to make a donation to it from every room in the house! I also have a lady coming to clean every other week and she started yesterday! Wow what a luxury! I recommend it to everyone!
Now we have been playing too. We drove up to Roaring River where the Todd family was camping weekend before last. We swam and they have this huge slide built into the side of a hill that was a blast. So for $6.00 an hour Mollie and Jacob would slide, run up the hill, and do it again. That went on for over and hour. It made me tired just watching. And of course they never stopped!
Mollie went to Camp Invention at our school last week from 8:30 to 3:00. It promoted problem-solving and creative thinking skills. It groups they built their own carnival games and a submarine out of recyclable materials. She took apart an old VCR and made gears. She really wanted it to be a robot that would clean her room. I told if she could figure out how to make it that I wanted one too!!! I was amazed at the things she learned!
On Saturday we went to Branson with Chris, Michelle, and Jacob Todd. We headed straight for White Water. Mollie likes fast water slides as much as she likes roller coasters! After 5 hours there we headed for Olive Garden. Yum-O! Then we hit Celebration City and first up was a roller coaster that Mollie had not ridden before and she loved it. We finally headed for home about 9. Thankfully Ron can still carry her to bed because he has had to the last 2 Saturday nights. We have been playing hard and enjoying every minute of it.
We started swimming lessons this week and Mollie is turning into a fish! Maybe we'll sleep in tomorrow! Other than that I don't see us slowing down much. Ron is working like crazy since he will miss 2 weeks in July between vacation and surgery. All is well.
