JUNE:
I have rediscovered that I LOVE the month of June. Its the days where we set up the sprinklers and fill the plastic inflatable pool and put the tarp on the hill with water running down it. And I sit in my chair and soak in the HOT sun. Or else chase up and down the tarp with the boys. They love it and so do I. We didn't get our garden planted this spring like most ambitious Nebraskan folks do so I planted whatever fun things I wanted this past week. This is the way to garden...laid back and for the fun of it. My canning shelves are barren but I'm not even caring too much. I'll be good next summer!
OUR HOUSE:
The basement is well on its way! The walls are up and the floor is being prepared for cement. Now I'm wondering about what kind of paint we should paint those cement walls so as to lighten the basement until we finish it off some sweet day? Any and all advice is welcome. And we have a little space like a root cellar or tornado shelter down there.....I'm very excited about keeping root vegetables in there next summer/ fall. Its fun looking into that stuff and seeing how to do it.....I feel extravagant just planning. Sometime I should put detail pictures of each room so I can get advice about how to paint and fix up each room. Oh and the house is set to be moved the first or second week in July. I am extremely excited in case you wondered! :)
VBS:
I'm teaching our Summer Bible School nursery class. Our VBS is each evening for two weeks. Patience, Experience and Hope are words that come to mind! Whew! I'm finding that four year olds are definitely in the very young child category! Not that I shouldn't have already known....as one of the students is my very own Keagan. But these kids can't even digest a story without there own stories interspersed. I'm just mother enough that I tell them to stop interrupting. But I have a nice supply of bubbles and play dough and .sidewalk chalk and snacks and a story book corner. So we'll get through....I'm sure.....in a week and a half.
And that's our life. Next month I will have to start thinking about school curriculum and all that stuff. But NOT NOW!!! Yesterday the boys signed up for the summer reading program at the library. I love that they can sit and look at books and read and there is a goal for them to work toward and it makes peace for our summer days and makes ME happy. And THAT is important.
See you later...with pictures of progress of our house and ect!
