We went to Temple Square for a wedding reception. The kids loved wandering around temple square and splashing in the water. Alice came close to falling in a few times but never managed to actually get too soaked.
Daniel started soccer. He is pretty timid out there but did manage to score a goal (that neither Jason and I saw) at his game on Saturday. He loves playing which is good. The only down side is most of his games are at 11:30 in the morning and it is so HOT!
August of course means canning season. We had a canning party yesterday and still took forever to get just 14 pints done. The kitchen was cleaned up though as soon as I finished pressing tomatoes, which never happens, so I am taking that as a plus. My kids love to help and hated that there were other people here to run the food mills. I still have four boxes of tomatoes to do so anyone else who wants to come over this week, just let me know.
I finally finished a craft! Sometimes I get them done so quick and other times it takes me forever. Don't even ask how my scrapbooks are coming. This I did for Alice after some great ideas from Porters! I thought they turned out really cute. I decided to make a few things for her that she can hang on her side of the room when her and Daniel start sharing. I am not really looking forward to that.
Other news. Jason will be changing jobs soon. We are hoping it works out well but who knows. We are also taking a vacation next week which I am super excited about. I am not allowing any laptops, although I am sure the iphone will be busy. My mom is the best, coming down to watch my kids for me. It should be a blast. So far Jason doesn't know where we are going. I am sure I will end up telling him, I am pretty bad at keeping secrets.
Daniel starts preschool next week and keeps asking me about swim lessons. He is becoming a big pain, though holds nothing on Alice's ability to abuse. She seriously is so loud and clingy, but super cute when she is happy. We just always pray for happy days to outnumber grumpy days.
