Fridays are our catch up or easy days. If we can get a full week in from Monday through Thursday then I will use Friday as a creative day to wrap the week up. But since Emily was in Atlanta on Monday and slept Tuesday and in the hospital on Wednesday afternoon....we have much to catch up on. Jacob had a lazy week as well. Jesse and Elizabeth stayed on schedule for the most part. Elizabeth read in her Charlotte's Web book and worked on her tan by the poolside. Her swim lessons are at 1 and they usually swim for 3-4 hours each day...its been a swimming summer for the both of them. She has really enjoyed learning to swim this summer and came home with her "I passed Level 3" card! Good thing....because I just paid for her Level 4 classes to start on Monday!!
Happy Weekend everyone! My Monday starts today at work!!
