Five for Friday--Rather Summery Edition

1. Whitney, Austin and Olivia got to participate in the Soccer Camp put on by the High School Girl's Soccer Team. They went Monday-Friday for 2 hours each day. I was so excited for Whitney to get to do this so she could improve her skills and hopefully catch soccer fever. I just know she's great, but her motivation level isn't.

2. The missionaries are living in the basement of the house across the street from us, so we are super aware of their comings and goings throughout the day. I really need to talk to them and find out what their favorite treats are so we can hook them up with something.

3. I really wish I was a faster reader because there are just so many books that I am currently reading and want to read, despite the amount of time I spend reading every day I don't seem to be going through them at a very good rate.

4. I felt very accomplished for finishing Far From the Madding Crowd for book club this week. I ended up really liking it, but it took a lot of focus and some level of translation to understand everything I was reading. There's definitely a feeling of accomplishment for this one.

5. Holy crap, the house got up to 84 degrees the other day and I felt like I was going to lose it. It had been pleasant with the windows open all day even though it was hot outside, but whenever evening comes around the house has absorbed all the heat and there is no relief...we knew we wouldn't sleep well if we relied on open windows and fans alone so we turned the A/C on at 10:00pm.

6. Bella and Tess spent the night on Tuesday while Megan, Olivia and Ashley slept over at my mom's house. Of course it took many phone calls and organizing to figure out how to get everyone everywhere, so the return trip ended up like this.

My mom drove Olivia, Ashley and Megan to meet Robyn at the Anytime Fitness in Saratoga Springs, then Robyn drove them all to the Target parking lot in American Fork to meet me, then Megan got in our car and I drove the girls to the Kohl's parking lot in Draper to meet Amy! Good grief! It was the loudest 20 minutes and I am seriously going to bring ear plugs next time...there's just so much Megan! You'll notice that Megan is holding a plate of sugar cookies she made and decorated (generously) at my mom's house, well most of those sprinkles ended up on the backseat of my car.

7. My mom took Austin and Landon to Trafalga Fun Center yesterday for the afternoon, so Whitney and I went out to find her some new shoes for church (she wears a women's 7.5!) and then to the cheap theater to see "Rio". She liked the movie but I thought it was kind of obnoxious and may or may not have dozed off for a bit.

**Do read very fast?

How hot do you let your house get?

Have you seen Rio?

Have you ever had sprinkles all over your backseat?**

Comment Window Tidbit: Oh my goodness, it's already July! That means it's only 8 more days until my 40th birthday, eek!
