Call Day #64, 6/17/14

Eleanor's been doing puzzles a LOT during these days of no school. She picks 500 piece ones and does them over and over. This one was done yesterday and today (with help from Mommy and Daddy).

We went to the Main Library today because they have lots more books to choose from (especially easy reader for Eleanor). Claire was extra excited about picking out books.

She came running when she found the Angelina Ballerina section. Think we went home with 5 or 6 of those.

Oliver was happy to wander up and down the aisles. Unfortunately, this also meant helping himself to books on the shelves. Have to keep an eye on him!

The water fountain was actually at Oliver level! He thought that was great and entertained himself with it while we checked out our big piles of books. He was soaked down the front by the time we were done.

Playing in the grass outside the library.

We walked to a park nearby, had a picnic lunch, and played. It was so hot out today (high 95) that we went straight from the park to Pelican's, a shaved ice place. A cold treat is perfect on a day like today.

Claire played by herself this afternoon (after I split them up since I was tired of the bickering). She was proud of her building and had an elaborate story to go with it.

Then it was time for swim team. Oliver insisted on feeding himself at the pool. He did a pretty good job.

Eleanor has been practicing diving for part of each practice. Today her coach was one of her favorite neighborhood friends, Adam (standing next to her).

Practicing from the edge too, which is what they've done more often in the past.
