The End of Summer is Near...*sigh*

Today was Gavin's last day of summer swim lessons! I took quite a few video clips of him diving into the deep end, sitting on a "boat" with his classmates, swimming backstroke and freestyle. BUT...someone deleted those pictures after they were viewed up close on our tv. ARGH!!!! Anyway, Gavin has come sooooo far in swimming this summer I can't even believe it. We spent a few hours after his lesson with Lori and Lily and Gavin was all about me throwing a dive stick and him finding it at the bottom of the pool. We had lunch at the pool and Gavin looks forward to this opportunity. There he is...sitting on a lounge chair on a towel...covered up with another towel...wearing a hat and eating his fluffernutter sandwich. No worries in the world, right?!

Ian is spending this week in Camp Rising Sun at the Y. It's an all day camp and he did this same camp for a week already. We signed him up at the start of the summer for this one particular week hoping he would see some Kingswood kids and get excited about going back to school. Well, mornings have been "okay"...not great, but just okay. So, rather than listening to all the negatives, I've given him some homework. This started yesterday. On the way to the Y I told him he needs to meet one new friend and tell me about the kid when I pick him up. Then, he has to tell me 5 fun things he did at camp. So, that was interesting yesterday. He made sure I knew to pick him up at 4pm. He reminded me plenty of times. So...yesterday I was there at 4pm. He gets into the car and starts telling me that I picked him up at the start of Assembly. Basically, "What were you thinking mom???? You don't do that!!!" I said, "You told me 4pm. It's 4pm." He says, "Pick me up after the Assembly, but at 4pm!" LOL LOL Today I picked him up at 4:15pm and it was the end of Assembly and they hadn't gotten to the Bead Ceremony yet. OH MY!!! It's basically a NO-WIN situation here!!!!!

Cailean and I are both working tomorrow, so Ian is off to camp and Gavin is off to Pekai's house to play with Bareen and Omaid. Should be a fun day for both! Then, off to a t-ball game at 6pm!!!
