Ward's World: A Week in Review

A week ago Thursday Matthew finished swim lessons. On the last day the parents can go and see what they have learned and take pictures. He loved swim lessons this year and really came a long way from last year. I think we are going to sign up for another session in a couple of weeks. Here are some pictures.

Here is Matthew doing the dead man's float. By himself!

And here he is just hangin out waiting for his turn!!

Last weekend we had some friends over to hang out in the pool. Matthew was very excited to see one of his friends from school and his older brother. I did not take any pictures because it was so hot we spent the whole day in the pool. Except of coarse when we were eating.

On Tuesday night I had my mid term at school. I thought is was really easy and I was worried that I failed cuz it was so easy. Nope! I got a 100 on it so that really boosted my confidence. Now I just need to finish my biography paper so that I can have it proof read before next Thursday.

I had been thinking about fun, inexpensive things to do with Matthew this summer. I am working full time this year so it has been an adjustment not to be able to hang out with him. So I decided that it would be fun to start camping out in the backyard. Yes in a tent. So last night was the first time we did it. It was really not that bad. Matthew slept like a brick and I slept pretty well also. Matthew wants to do it again tonight and I think he has guilted Daddy into joining us.

Here we are leaving the house to go sleep in the tent!

Here we are in the tent. Matthew is so excited!!

And here is Matthew coming in from bed this morning!

Today we went to the zoo with friends. No without a little confusion of coarse. I woke up this morning and realized I did not have a booster seat for Matthew. Patti (Matthew's nanny) left with one yesterday and Joe left for work with the other this morning. So I had to send Matthew across the street to Miss Mary's and I had to run to Target to purchase another one. So, as I was driving back down the street, our friends were in the driveway waiting for us. I felt so bad. Anyway, we got all of our stuff together and out the door we went to the zoo. We met some more friends there and the kids had a great time.
