First Days of Summer Break


All Preece’s agree that first few days of summer were wonderful.  When asked what Sam enjoyed most about Tuesday she responds, “The pool.  It was warm.”  A strange answer to such a question but having warm weather certainly is a great start to summer.  Cate and Mom both agreed sleeping outside was their favorite activity on Tuesday.  Why?  “We got to sleep outside in the tent in the tree house, tell stories, read books, and watch part of Harry Potter 2,” Cate smiled.  Mom and Dad both agreed that they liked the chance to be with their children who enjoyed it so much.  When I asked Cate and Sam if they would sleep in the tree house again but without a tent.  Cate enthusiastically exclaims, “Yes!”  Sam’s response is, “Maybe; if the weather is sunny, yes.  If the weather is warm, yes.  If were suspended in the air in the tree house so no critters can get us, yes.”  Well, if the weather is sunny, and if the weather is warm, and if were suspended in the air in the tree house so no critters can get us, it looks like we will be sleeping again up in the tree house with no tent.  Tuesday was a great day, yet mom says that she enjoyed Wednesday more because she had a whole day to spend time with us.  On Wednesday we did a lot of fun activities.  Mom loved planting flowers in the garden.  Cate and Sammie loved their play date with Kate Howell.  Sofie, “ I liked finishing Harry Potter 2.”  A great day, everyone agrees.                                                    ~ Carter Preece

"Hilarious"

Went to the cupboard and saw the box of newly purchased nectarines. 


One was missing. I turned to mike, are they ripe? Did you eat this? No...I think. I bet it was Sofie. That's something she would do. Then I look around the pantry door to see Sofie standing there with a half-eaten nectarine in her hands:)
Caught...orange handed:)
