Rollie Pollies, Swimming Pools, Sun and Fun

"Oh what do ya do in the summertime!"

Well school has officially ended. Gymnastics has officially started. And I am already worn out! Today was Kenzie's first day in her new level 4 class. She said it was fun. Next time I need to send her with a snack. It turns out that in a 2 hour class the girls get to stop for a break. Kenzie requested apple slices and peanut butter for her snack. Good,nice, healthy choice.
However, she didn't do so well with the 6:40 wake up call. She needs to leave the house by 7:15 and that means an early morning. Next time maybe she'll actually go to sleep when she is told to! I do have to give her props, she slept in her leotard so she wouldn't have to change when she got up. Now that's thinkin'.

Dawson is all boy! And he has proved it with his love for the creepy crawly critters. Today his choice for company was a poor defenceless Rollie Pollie.
(aka the potato bug) This helpless little gray bug has been carried around the house, dropped down the stairs, and even fed strawberry applesauce. Yet, it keeps on going. Right now as I type, Dawson is playing on a little keyboard with his new friend. So now it's deaf (if they can hear anyway) And it is talented as Dawson helped it play the keyboard. Oh what do ya do! Now for the Rollie Pollie's greatest adventure, He is riding a train. We have a Geo Trax train set, set up in the basement and Dawson put him in a cargo car and is sending him around the track. Hang in there little buddy it all be over in a minute.
Go toward the light!

Xander is being Xander and just buggin' his brother and beggin' to go outside and to a friends house. They will all be happy in a little bit when I stop typing and go mow the lawn. Then, they get to set up the pool. And then half the neighborhood will flock to my yard. Good times, good times in the summertime.

Wonder what the life span of a potato bug is? You guys used to do the same thing.
Don't envy Kenzie's wake up time. What were you thinking?

With an imagination like that he'll never be lonely!
