Weekly Recap

Another week has come and gone. Nothing happens, everything happens... the routine is settling in as Carson passed one whole month in school. Here's what we've been up to this week.

Still doing lots of swimming around here. Brooke is enjoying the pool more and more as she can move around the wading pool and the steps. Camilla is really starting to swim on her own now. She can jump in the deep end, swim to me and then with a little push swim back to the wall. I can't believe how much she is swimming now. 

Camilla and Carson want to work in their workbooks every day. Camilla doesn't quite have the patience to actually do very much work but she does love to color. She works so hard and really focuses on it. She does a great job. I have to stop Carson on his workbook and tell him to go play. He would do it for hours. 

Well something major has started for Camilla, painted fingernails. Oh my, she loves them. They painted them at the gym and she cannot get over them. She wanted to show everyone and worried about the paint coming off all week. She even mentioned them in her prayers. 

Our big news is that we finally go a piano!! I've been wanting one for so long and we finally made room for it in our house. We just bought a used one on Craigslist and its very pretty. The kids have loved banging around on it and I love accompanying our little family when we sing before scriptures at night. 

Carson starts lessons next week. He is very excited. 

I have a hair person that I love now in Austin and I took Carson to get his hair cut this week. It looks really good and he was very excited about it. He has such different hair than me. I kept noticing that she was thinning it out, what would that be like? After haircuts we picked up Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner and the kids were so happy. Why do I ever cook? 

So Carson draws pictures on the back of his work most days after he finishes at school. There seems to be a pretty consistent theme. Daddy and Carson drinking lemonade together. (Not sure if you will recall but on Aaron's birthday we let the kids get pink lemonade to drink and they thought it was the greatest thing ever, well it left a lasting impression)

In this one, they are at the movie theater watching Cars, just drinking lemonade and eating popcorn. (Aaron saves every last one of these in case you were wondering :))
