A cool front actually blew through so we decided to spend our Saturday morning in our backyard. Daddy mowed and trimmed some bushes while the kids rode the Jeep and played. Beck's driving skills has significantly improved! He drove all over the back yard and only crashed once. Kinsey loved the ride! After Daddy finished yard work, he lowered the bottom of the slide so the kids can go down it faster. Beck really liked helping!
Kinsey, on the other hand, did not like the loud noise!
We went to Lake Gilmer to try and fish off the pier but there was too much grass growing in the water so we walked to the beach area. Beck and Kinsey collected some berries along the way and then we built sand castles. The weather is unbelievably strange this time of year! We've had more rain than we did last year and it is cooler. I like it!
We ate dinner at Pops and Kiki's house and Kiki helped Beck draw a picture. In honor of the prophet's birthday this month, the primary class is having a drawing contest. Each child has been asked to draw, color or paint a picture of President Thomas S. Monson. The drawings will be displayed next Sunday and I can't wait to see it on the wall. Then, she showed Beck and Kinsey how to paint using water colors. They both really enjoyed their art class and painting! I might enter Beck's abstract drawing in the Yamboree's Junior Art competition!
Since the weather was so nice on this Sunday morning, I ran around the neighborhood then got ready for church. Unfortunately, time spent in the yard yesterday was a mistake...I have poison ivy, again! Yuck, yuck, yuck!!! Looks like I'll be getting a shot this week because I don't want to have this mess while at the beach. When we arrived at church, Kinsey informed me that she needed her glasses because it was bright outside. Oh my goodness, this girl is a hoot!!! Beck was sent home with a note from his primary class saying he needed to give a 2-3 minute talk on keeping the sabbath day holy. That means he'll give his first talk next Sunday!
