We went swimming at Arthur’s pool. A vendor was selling melons by the road on the way, so .. I purchased one! Of course a seed spitting contest is mandatory.

Melinda’s award ceremony at school this week. She received an award for completing the 100 book club, finishing the Accelerated reader yearly goal, and for getting “a”s in math and reading. YAH MELINDA! (Melinda’s is the one up on the stage)

Here is Mom giving Melinda a big hug for her achievements.

We also had a art contest this week. I gave all the kids (including a friend of Hannah’s) some old electronic components, and asked them to make a piece of art in about 15 minutes.

The first contestant.. Rockwell!
Rockwell made “a train and some cargo”.

The second contestant, Amber!
Amber made a three dimensional calder-esqe mobile (I helped with the tripod)

The third contestant, Hannah!
Hannah made a “bookcase with trophy”

The fourth contestant, Melinda!
Melinda made a piece of jewelry.

Melinda had time for two entries.. Notice the lighthouse, the sun, and sponge bob.

I guess I’m saving the best for last. We added someone to our family… Hannah Got her 10th Birthday present one day early! I would like to introduce to you, GiGi! Hannah is VERY happy with her present. 🙂 I hope GiGi is happy with her!
