A motor cross show on your 5th birthday
We spent Saturday at the Microsoft Company Picnic which really is more like a state fair or a carnival. We passed it off as a really big birthday party for Carson. I mean how many kids get 20 bouncy houses, pony rides, live bands, carnival rides and a motor cross show for their birthday? Not many, thanks Mr. Gates for footing the bill on this one and introducing Spencer to a new dangerous choice of careers.
Growing Gills
After a slow start to swim lessons for Carson his year we broke out some old home videos to show him how brave he was last year. Given Carson’s competitive nature he was not to be shown up by 3 yr. old Carson, and has overnight grown gills. Really we're talking from not going under water to huge cannonballs and dives off the side of pool and actual face in the water swimming (which closely resembles flailing). Given my water sports background I couldn't be more proud!
Dry for 24 days!
As much as I'd like to announce that it is Spencer who has been dry for 24 days. . .we're nowhere in the vicinity. But that's a whole other post. Instead we have enjoyed 24 straight days with no rain! In fact it has been downright beautiful, our lawn has sadly suffered (and it's SO worth it!) and I have savored every minute of it!
