August Events

This was a sign we found next to the little puddle we were fishing in.

Logan caught the only fish that day.

After many, many days of this. I proclaimed no technology week.

Wow, this summer has flown by. I can't believe school starts tomorrow for some of my kids and Wednesday for all of them.
To recap August events: Earlier in the month we thought we would escape the heat and head up to a little lake in the Mountains to go fishing. The Lake wasn't there but a large puddle was. It wasn't any cooler there either. Logan caught the only fish that day.
The Computers and Video Games were getting a serious workout this summer so I decided that to avoid any withdrawal symptoms, we cut off technology for a week. The kids did really good. We got out the Shrinky Dinks and we did a big puzzle and went to the library. I think I will definitely do it again.
My Sister and her Family stopped by on their way to drop off their oldest son Cameron at the Missionary Training Center. It was a nice visit.
We've been busy with wounded cats for the last couple days. We left them out for one night and have been paying a heavy price for it. One cat had it's eye scratched and the other has an infected leg from a bite. What a pain!
The kids are mostly ready for school to start. I know I am.
