Today was day 7 of Abby making her bed without whining so she was ecstatic to wear her new flip flops. She is now working towards an Olivia book, but in order to get that, she has to do 14 days without whining about making her bed. Mckenzie is working toward a book as well, but I need to figure out what her chore is. Tonight. So she can start working on it tomorrow. Any ideas? Scott was home during the day as he is flying tonight so we all took a trip to the grocery store and Target. I noticed Target isn't as expensive when he is with ;-) We bought a larger inflatable pool the other day so Scott and I can join the girls. The girls were so excited to get this new pool. Abby called it her huge pool. Mckenzie kept asking when they could swim. Both girls sat in their patio chairs and watched Scott inflate the pool. I love how a $20 pool can provide such excitement and entertainment! The girls and I went over to a friend's house to swim this afternoon. It turned out to be a little chilly in the water. The sun kept hiding behind the clouds and there was a chill to the breeze. So, we ended up playing inside after a little pool time. When we got home, the girls asked to check out our pool and it turns out our patio is so slanted that the water is leaking out. Crud. Not sure what we are going to do now. A pool without water is pretty worthless. On a good note, our oven should be fixed on Friday. I am really hoping so because I have a great idea for a Father's day present but I need an oven to do it.

Well, I don't think Abby is in focus in this picture, but for using manual on an action shot for the first time, I think it is pretty good.
