Fun in the Sun

 Claire

Now that we are home my formula might go back to normal and start to be boring again. Claire was doing something kinda funny because she found the little scrapbook that her kindergarten teacher made for her and started fake crying and saying she misses all her friends and her teacher. She then remembered her first teacher from before we moved to Farmington and was sad with her fake cry for a good 5 minutes. I know she feels sad and she knows I cry when I'm sad so I think she was trying to make herself cry because she felt sad but it was so fake. I found their old bubble lawn mower and Claire came out to help me, but I had to take a break because mine is on a battery and this was the first time mowing this sod and some of it had gotten too long. She parked hers next to mine during the break and it was kinda cute when I came back out to see it.

Shay

The girls both seem to be still able to play together in the house with all the toys and come up with things to do at home, but they like to ask to watch a show when they eat. I'm glad for lunch we escape the house and go to the park for their lunch or they would ask at lunchtime too! I keep it for later in the day and they usually have plenty to do with the new pool I bought them and the nice backyard we now have! Shay is the one that will come up with the idea to go to the store or DI, and also want to go to the Wolf Lodge, Lagoon, and The Dinosaur Park. She definitely needs to get into school soon because she needs adventure in the great wide world! I'm thinking about a preschool this coming year if she gets really jealous after Claire's school orientation. She hasn't yet learned that we can't go into just anyone's house and when we met the neighbor she was very mad at me for keeping her outside and talking before we gave the banana bread to them and said goodbye. They seem friendly but their kids are at least a few years older than the girls and the next day their youngest, the daughter we met with a kitten, left a note for the girls with pictures on the porch which was sweet. 

Guests!

We hosted some friends for the first time in our new home! We have had a few visitors like an old friend and the RS presidency but we had dinner with some friends that we usually crash their house. It was nice to be able to host them for once and had a small bag of fireworks they brought to set off as well as the kids playing in the little pool in the backyard. The girls loved the fireworks and wanted more after they were all gone so maybe I'll look into getting more in the future celebrations. They act a little differently when people are around so they were a little more crazy than usual and didn't eat a lot of dinner until the dessert came out and they couldn't have any until they had eaten their dinner. I would like to teach them how to act when I am talking to another adult because they are very bad at interrupting
