Quick Takes #265; Mid-Summer Check-in



  1. How is your summer going? Ours is going well and if things like lawnmowers and jaws would stop breaking I might even say great.  Update on last week's post the lawnmower has been replaced and we'll find out next week how the jaw is healing.
  2. Swim lessons wrapped up earlier this week.  Both L1 and L2 made progress in learning freestyle (specially how to periodically breath without stopping), and Caitlin made progress with her 'doggie' paddle and gained enough confidence that she no longer asks for her swim vest at the pool.  
  3. In other camp news Liam had a blast with soccer camp last week and is looking forward to playing with a local league this fall. Currently Lisbeth is enjoying Art Camp. She completed an ocean themed colored pencil sketch this week and next week apparently moves on to paints.
  4. We actually had a break in the humidity the last couple of days allowing for some porch reading; finished this (wonderful ~ definitely reading the sequel) and starting this.  What are you reading these days?
  5. Had fun watching all of the Prime Day posts go by; decided to hold off a bit longer before getting the kids their own Kindles so in the end I only got colored pencils and highlighters. Did look at the school supply list and then decide I just wasn't ready to get in school mode yet.  Except teaching Liam to tie his shoes ~ must get on that!!
  6. Bonnie of A Knotted Life has brought back the Sheenazing Awards and is taking nominations!!
  7. A mixed bag weekend coming up as there is a lot of yard work to catch-up on but in celebration of National Belgium Day tomorrow a beer and plenty of chocolate after the work is done.
iCloud apparently needs to work on its sharing skills ~ so no pictures :(

Please head over to Kelly's for more 7QT's!
