Pool days are awesome at our house these days! It’s getting warmer and we find ourselves often jumping in for an hour or two when we can. This week the boys had a splash contest and tried all sorts of junps to make the biggest splash, smallest splash, highest splash, etc. The perfect activity to get all their energy out!
We have a few weeks without any visitors and decided to take advantage of the down time to get some projects done. As much as I didn’t want to, we picked up the paint brushes and started to work on the end of the paint projects around the house. This week we tackled the front blue garage gates. They were chipped and paint speckled so we switched colors and painted them all gray to match the railings upstairs. It made a big difference in my opinion but when the kids got how from school it took them a while to figure out what we had painted :) I guess that’s what we were going for, a subtle but nice change. It didn’t take us long and it was a project that we knew we needed to get done. So now I’m glad it’s done and we can finish up the other paint projects. Next in the list: the back wall of the house and the big outside wall. Those will take a bit longer :(
Other than a few projects, it was a pretty normal week for us. Desh had a birthday party for one of his friends at school one day, Liev and Josh went on a father, son fishing outing, Keen and Rhen finished up presentations for school, and we finally got some rain after a 2 week dry spell. It’s amazing how much we have missed the rain and noticed the difference without it. We were happy to see dark clouds roll in and dump some much needed moisture on our grass and plants.
And we’ve been blessed with some amazing sunrises and sunsets this week. Taking note of these is our goal as we sit up on the deck in the evenings and wind down from the day. It’s something we certainly don’t take for granted! Life on the island is pretty great.
