Catching up

I missed blogging on Sunday, because we gardened all day and had three late soccer games. Here's a little catch up!

We picked up our new deck furniture last Monday. Meg tried it out right away Tuesday morning:



And the girls did homework on it that afternoon:



Then Chris assembled the new table and benches. We love it! It's huge!



Our elementary school open house and science fair were last week. Meg's project was on faucet aerators and ways to save water:



Jess' was on making a speaker for an iPod:



In Meg's classroom we got to see lots of her art for the year:












We've had tons of meals on the deck!



Deck art was last week in downtown Rochester. It's art - on skateboards, on display in all of the downtown businesses. We saw it all on Friday night.









This jewelry store had the best deck art:












Three soccer games on Saturday called for a trip to DQ!



We also did tons of garden work and yard work on Saturday. We had four yards of compost delivered (to save the mess in our van). But the prep work was the worst, edging, weeding, and moving plants.



By Sunday afternoon, we had 90% of the yard cleaned up:















Sunday late afternoon/night we had three more soccer games. Here's Jess re-enacting a great save she had as goalie! She also had one goal in the game. Meg had a hat trick in hers!!



Chris had to go back to Brazil on Sunday night, for only a week this time.

On Monday, Dad C came to visit, specifically to see Katie's track meet! She did shotput and ran the mile. She had a PR of 8:46 (I think):






Of course we had to stop at you-know-where to celebrate!



On Wednesday Katie had her last home track meet. She threw 18' in shotput, her PR by almost two feet! And she ran the mile in 8:43, another PR!!



Katie and her running buddy:



And today we got a sneak peek at Megan's dance costume and routine! Only 10 days til her recital!






Chris gets home Saturday morning, and then we're heading to Silver Lake for the weekend with friends. As Megan said, we need to get the Jeep dirty!! :)
