I didn't think

it had been this long since I blogged but apparently...sorry.

It has been an incredibly hectic month. The first 2 weeks of the month I spent working like crazy I could go away on vacation. We went down to Belleville for 8 days - longer than usual for sure. We had a great time, saw some people we haven't seen since Christmas and enjoyed the down time. Truly a wonderfully relaxing vacation. Mom and dad had some major work for Mike too so that kept him truly busy which made him happy too.

This last week Laura has been in science camp. Wow, what a great experience. As with everything new, Laura was very apprehensive and cautious. Her first morning was a trying one with tears and fears but within 5 minutes she was settled and ready for fun. Leaving today, she was sad and wanted to have another week. It was a great experience for her and I am so glad we decided to let her go ahead and try it this summer. Next summer, we will definitely try again.
She came home yesterday talking about "magic milk". The day before, it was body day. She came home with a huge 'scab' on her face - if it had been real, she should have been hospitalized - for body day. She has been talking about plaque on her teeth, how scabs develop and other bodily functions. Truly funny! Today was about rocks. They dug through them, found different ones and made 'rock' candy (ie.fudge). Her first day was all about bugs. She made a moth feeder, created a bug out of tinker toys and learned what frogs eat. Tuesday was water day and they had lots of fun getting wet, creating fun things with water.
Believe it or not...I did not take pictures. I know, shocking and totally irresponsible for a scrapper for sure but I didn't even think about it.
