Just a few short sentences.

 B has started two different math 'classes' at the local library. One is called Math Whiz and the other is Biz Kids. Both classes are for grades 3 and up. The Math Whiz they play math games, that B said was kind of hard. The Biz Kids class is more about teaching them basic money skills with an entrepreneurial bent. After the first Biz Kids he came home and wanted to open an account at a bank. He has asked several times since then. Maybe with some of his birthday money, I can go help him open an account.

 The boys are wanting to do a lemonade stand and I have finally found an incredible lemonade recipe. It is just the recipe off the bottle of lemon juice (the name escapes me right now). But if you substitute some of the lemon juice with key lime juice....amazing. We can go through a gallon of it in a day! Can't wait to pair it with some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies...just have to find a good warm day to do it.

Tomorrow is the last day of soccer for B.  He sure has improved this season.  JB is even getting into the action.  He loves to head butt the ball.  Jbird has practiced a few times with the team and certainly holds his own with the older kids.  Will be interesting to see Jbird play in the fall.  B finished up a baseball camp this past week.  He really enjoyed it and it has reignited his fire for baseball.  The last day of camp they got to go on a local 'big' field, with stands, etc.  The boys played the dads.  All of them got one 'at bat'.  It took him several swings before he hit the ball, but he made it to first.  He sure did look really small on that big ol' field.

I think I am getting too much sun.  With all the swimming and other activities, I am wiped at the end of the day.  The last several days I have been out in the sun, I have noticed an 'angry' looking rash on my arms.  I thought it was maybe the chlorine at the pool, but noticed the rash after I had not been in the pool.  Not sure what that is about, whether it is something I am using that is reacting to the sun or all this sun exposure is too much for my body.  I know the kids love it.  JB keeps getting darker and his hair lighter.  So glad they at least have the 'olive' gene in their DNA.
