August 1-13

The kids left to visit grandparents on the first. They didn't return until the 7th. We mostly lollygagged around the house and it was good for us to experience boredom. We were so looking forward to learning something. We went iceskating with our scout group and the kids took "woodshop" at the Lowe's Kids' Workshop day on the 12th. They also "helped" dad to build washer boxes and did their usual household duties.
