Dancing, Swimming, and Singing


All Lopshire boys must love to dance!  We cranked up some tunes and danced for about an hour in the living room this morning!  
These were part of our playlist:
Walk Like An Egyptian
Get Up Off That Thing
Move
I Like to Move It
Crocodile Rock
A Little Bit More
I Love A Rainy Night
Trashin' the Camp
Kyrie (Mr. Mister, of course)
Tarzan Boy
Monkey's Uncle
Peanut Butter Jelly Time
Don't Stop Believin'

My sis-in-law, Erin, texted me today to say her weather app was saying it was 122 degrees at my house.  She wondered if that was really true.  I looked, and my app said the same!  It was definitely not 122.  It was about 88, actually, which is much warmer than it has been most of the summer!  Good for a laugh though!

Andrew and Simon are enjoying Caeden's trains.  I'm enjoying seeing them played with again!  It's been a while since they've come out from under the bed.  I miss the days of trains!

This evening we took all the kids to SF Park for some swimming.  Both Simon and Andrew are a bit smitten with Sylvia.  Andrew has been trying to arrange alone time with her all week so they can have a date, and Simon is calling her his girlfriend.  Sweet.

We packed our supper and ate at the clubhouse.

The kids looked for fish in the pond, but I don't think they saw any.  There were ducks swimming by though.

We had the most fun swimming!

This is what I got when I said, "Cheese me."  Well, yes, that's certainly cheesy.

You know it's time to get out when you're all prune-fingers!


The kids started a great, loud, worship singalong on our way home.  They sang every word of Strangely Dim, Hold Me, Where I Belong, and a few others too.  It was beautiful!

a very quiet Saturday

Last night, Sylvia asked if we could just stay home and relax all day  today.  So, that's pretty much what we did. 

The girls played in their room for hours, listening to WBGL.  Annah sings her favorite songs from the top of her lungs, and we love to hear it!  
Caeden played a lot of LEGOS.  Also, he likes to help me play Epic Mickey on the Wii.  I really stink at the tricky jumping parts, and he is really good at it.  So when I get stuck on a level, he advises me or just conquers it for me.
Jeremy mowed the lawn and grilled some yummy W&W brats for lunch.

 This evening, it was so beautiful outside, we went for a walk around our little village.

We were chatting with some neighbors who live very close to the train tracks when we heard a train coming.  Jeremy suggested we go watch it pass by up close.  We waved to the engineer.
