It is only the beginning of summer and already very HOT! Evan is going to day camp and Chad did some volunteer work there for the last few weeks. Being inside a gym and swimming has sure helped them beat the heat. I'm sure that the daily snowballs have helped a bit, too.
Evan got his own part time job this week and is taking care of our neighbors' garden and cat while they are on vacation. He loves watering, feeding the cat and picking vegetables. The promise of getting paid helps, too. Here is some of what he came home with the other day:
Yum, it finally looks like I am going to get some tomatoes!
Chad is looking forward to this weekend because he is going to participate in a youth conference called
Stubenville on the Bayou. It lasts from Friday through Sunday and involves teens not only from Louisiana, but also from Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee. It is spiritual in nature and he will get to enjoy music, activities, prayers, etc., with the other 3000 attendees. I can't wait to hear about his experience when he gets home on Sunday!
In addition to being hot, it has also been dry. We finally got some much needed rain last week. We also had some pea size hail and thunder, which I discovered Gwen didn't like too much when I found her hiding under our bed.
Did the thunder stop yet?
My husband has been quite handy this summer. We needed to get the boys some furniture for their playroom so they would have a place to sit when they play video games or watch t.v. We decided on a futon, which of course had to be assembled. Todd, with a little help from Evan, put it together in a snap. They are enjoying it already.
