Updates

We had the WEIRDEST week ever a couple of weeks ago. We're finally recovering. Basically, I had weird bug bites every night, but only me. Swamp cooler broke. Fixed it. Dishwasher broke. Found tiny bugs in the bathroom. Thought they were body lice, then thought they were scabies. Dh went for a scabies script but it's not scabies. Nope. Microscope and observation of the crime scene to the rescue--infestation of bird mites. Eating ME. Coming from the ceiling vent in the bathroom. Sprayed a ton of bleach & pesticide in the bathroom. Evicted mama & three feathered/flying babies from the vent hose. Sprayed in the vent. Swamp cooler broke again. Got a window A/C. Window A/C broke. Fixed it. Made peach freezer jam. The end.

Also, the girls finished their summer swim lessons! The are both VERY comfortable in the water now. C can't quite swim on her own yet. A can swim on her back in that fun, bent-limbed little-kid splashy way. Today we went to the free swim, ran into some friends (who were also taking swim lessons), and A's friend was swimming underwater. So A watched her and also started swimming underwater (forwards, not holding nose). I was shocked. We are pondering a pool pass for next year with some tax return money.

Next week, we have two eye appointments for A and G has his first allergy testing. C will be starting gymnastics, too, I think. She has been playing gymnastics & practicing all afternoon.
