Has anyone read any of Lisa Scottolines' books? I started "Daddy's Girl" last evening and an 7 chapters into it. I am a bit uncertain what kind of books Scottoline writes. Trying a new author is sometimes difficult as you aren't familiar with the authors style of writing.

Cooper continues to question me as to why it rained last night. I answer with the simple answer of "God wanted to water the grass and trees and plants and put more water in PoPops pool so he (Cooper) can swim in it." I also told him that all those plants would be a lot of plants for me to water so he's helping me. He seemed satisfied with that answer.
The poor kid is scared of storms so I have started calling them rain showers instead of storms..he now says "it showered."

Had a great run with not being scared or minding Thunderstorms. Ella lasted 4 years and Coop 3. Last week however Coop, while enjoying watching the storm in the tv, decided he does not like the sound of thunder and the bright light of lightning. Ella jumped on the wagon and now is bothered by it too.
We now pull the blinds and turn the tv on our make it louder to hopefully help them not notice a storm if at all possible.
Thunder and lightning still scare me at my old age so I can't even hope this is something they will outgrow, just something they will learn is part of nature. I told them both tonight that our house protects us from the rain, thunder and lightning...a protective bubble. It seemed to ease their minds a bit.

Today was Day #1 of the second set of swim lessons. What a huge difference 2 weeks has made swimming at my parents pool almost daily. Both kiddies went right into the pool and didn't use the "floaties" that were used last time! They both swam using doggie style swimming, jumped in from the side and floated on their backs!
Here's hoping for a successful 7 more lessons!

I need a sign that says "Cafeteria Open". I swear someone is always hungry.

Great afternoon with friends..the kiddos certainly enjoyed each others company and Jennifer Franchak has become one of my closer friends...I'm so glad our girls brought us together! I think Josh Cook and Jason had a nice time getting to know each other as well! Can't wait for next time!
