Molly had a final ceremony for her Brownies troop on Saturday. Each of the girls read off their favorite things about Brownies. Surprisingly, Molly is a little shy public-speaking wise and she read her whole paragraph while striking this pose.

Me and "Doofus". Later this afternoon, Brett and I spent 4 hours cleaning out the bottom of our pool. The previous owners had not lived here for over a year, so there was a good half a foot of leaves, dirt and muck at the bottom. We pumped out what we could, then had to bucket out the remaining six inches of water by ourselves. It was back-breaking work, and my legs are total jelly even today from the thousand lunges I did then. However, the pool is now cleaned out, the lining is scrubbed, and we will begin to fill it this week. Ahhh, the joys of ownership . . .the kids better stinkin' live in that pool this summer!!!!
Baylea is "too cool for school." She's ready for the summer . . .she did a great job on her grades this year and has recently taken to writing songs and poems.
There is a picture in existence of me hitting this exact pose when I was ten. I'll have to scan it and compare the similarities . . . or not.
Mr. C graduates from kindergarten tomorrow, which means he will be a full-time student in the fall . . .he's already saying he doesn't want to go everyday, mainly because it will cut into his Wii time.
