From June into July

 Getting all the plumbing hooked up.

 Fortunately the kids still help, even if they are allowed to swim already. ;)

 Weeding in the garden for permission to swim.

 Yes, the water does not look so clean. We were having issues with the plumbing yet.

 There was a third pipe we didn't know what it was for. Once all was hooked up and water came gushing out of it, we figured that out pretty fast! Now all the lines are closed up and going to the right places.

 Very late spring this year, so when the flowers start opening they had better be enjoyed!

 Finally a few blooms. And it's almost July!!

 Frogge thinks "if I can't be in your pool than I'll be on your bedroom windowsill!"

 Matthew got a turn to hep Melanie with her horse mucking job. Nathan was hired for the day wheeling mulch and filling up gardens.

 Ooh, rain. (a tiny bit) Umbrella time!

 Jennifer showed an interest in sewieg, so I tried come up with a project for her while I was still busy with something else. She wants to sew herself a skirt.

 Pool time!

 Our fridge gets cranky and ices up. Maybe it doesn't like me using up every last square inch and wants some room for air flow. Or maybe it's just cranky.  Anyways...I had to thaw it. Now that it's much emptier I haven't noticed and veggies getting frozen. Hope it stays cheerful and cooperative.

 Nathan and Melanie off to paint their fort. They bought paint and stain for it...I guess I should go see how nice it looks. They finished it yesterday.

 The go cart...another project to keep Nathan busy!

 The water might not be deep but it's still very lovely to swim. :)

 Daniel offered to paint a sign for me for our soccer program.

 Thanks so much!!

 Poison ivy. In the back now. Melanie found it first in the "campfire" in the "stick fort". She just told Daniel it time to not pick the weeds out of the firepit after all. Good call!
