Last week Joseph had a small 'friend' birthday.

We met at the park.  Had water gun fights, rock climbing, ice cream cookies and soccer.

One of the presents he got was a remote controlled boat.  So he and I got out and took it for a test drive.  He managed it very well.

This one had a lot of fun swimming.

She quickly took off for the geese.  I was finally able to call her back.

Then we headed to the dog park.  I was finally able to get a picture of Bree running toward me, full on.

Bree also loves playing fetch with a stick in the water.  There were two other dogs and the three of them would race for the stick and then fight over it, again and again and again.

Another quiet week and weekend on the horizon.  Benjamin has been at camp all week and the younger two have been at day camp.  I have gotten a LOT done around the house.

I have been contemplating what my fall will look like.  I don't want a full time job.  I desire just enough to keep me busy a few days a week.  With maybe one day going to work with JR and the other day running errands, grocery shopping, cooking for the week.  I went and talked with a lady today who works for a company that is currently hiring home assemblers.  It would be 15-20 hours but pretty confident I could do it quicker, because I have always been good at assembly line type stuff.  It pays decent and I can do it in my pajamas.  It requires a lot of boxes/supplies though so not sure if I have the space for it all.  It would drive me nuts to always be stepping over boxes.  The gal really appreciated our talk and suggested maybe a position in the actual warehouse..where there is some flexibility.  What to do?!  At least I have a few days to think/pray about it.

Next week we have vacation bible school at our church and I am the game director.  So my mornings will be spent there.  I will probably come home exhausted from being in the sun and playing with kids all morning.  I have wrangled the older two into helping me and Joseph will be a participant.
