It's been a while since I've posted... so here we go.

I finished my class. Although I can't take the state certification test until August 16th. It's been driving me crazy!! I hate just waiting around for it.

Well, that's about it. Summer is way too long. We started out productive and eager and now it's just dragging! It's too hot to do much after 10 or 11am - We've still been going to the library shows and we've been letting the girls play at McDonalds some. Eleven weeks of summer is just way too long. Six to eight weeks would be just perfect, but when it miserable to go outside and you don't have a ton of money to blow on outings, the days get monotonous.

 So Brent made a solar oven with Mariska and they made some little tortilla pizzas. Mariska loves it and suggests we make everything in it now.

 Brent took the girls to the zoo again while I was in class. Mariska finally gathered the courage to go near the fake alligator's mouth!

 Brent also taught Mariska to ride her bike without the training wheels! She is super good at it and loves riding the trail at the park near by.

 Brynley has become completely obsessed with Candy Land. She hates it when anyone wins and if she wins she throws a fit and goes back to the beginning. We also have a little Candy Land cartoon movie at the library that she can watch about 100 times a day. 

That's it for now. We're just handing around, so I probably won't have anything to post until school starts!
