Today I picked up Sophia and Avery from school. Everyone has been moved into portables so the original school buildings can be torn down and rebuilt.
This is an optical illusion: Avery’s legs are not that long.
Shortly after getting home, Sophia told me she had a tooth that was barely loose. Then she went to work on it. About an hour later, ta-da!
Eating yogurt is much less messy for Carson now that he started using a spoon instead of his hands.
This is how Avery eats Double Stuf Oreos. Emphasis on the Double Stuf!

Seeding tournaments
Sophia and Avery each had four 20-minute soccer games over a 4-hour period on another HOT day in Sacramento. At different fields about 10 minutes apart.
Thank you, Lady Gaga
I was so glad Thais went to Lady Gaga’s concert tonight because I got to stay with all three grandchildren until Lenin got home from his football refereeing meeting.
Sophia took this picture:

Sunday afternoon!
This was a 2-person demonstration. Avery stood on Sophia somehow and she raised up so Avery could strike a pose.
Neptune, King of the Sea
And then we cut into the caramel apple they got from Disneyland!
Grandma’s Cooking School: Chocolate-covered strawberries
Bowling with Sophia and Avery
Great score, Avery!
Back at home, they practiced a new hiding place … as long as almost everything was removed from the cabinet.
VBS Sunday morning
Today’s church service was held in the social hall with a brunch break in the middle. The kids from Vacation Bible School participated in all parts of the service.
I was so happy Odin and Kellen came and participated.
Grandma’s Cooking School: Lollipop Cookies
Avery’s choice this time.
The dough was divided in half and colored, then layered and rolled up.
They turned out pretty good.
Carson really liked them.
In the end, the cook was vanquished by the older sibling.
VBS at CLC
This week, I did the storytelling part of Vacation Bible School at Calvary Lutheran Church. A little reminder that it’s a good thing to be a retired teacher. The day started and ended with Pastor Kirsten.
There were 3 rotations of different age groups. Aiden as Jesus “on” the cross.
Kellen as Pilate directing his helper to put one of the criminals on a cross next to Jesus.
Jesus inside the tomb covered with “linen” – everyone wanted to go to see what that would look like.
Closing up the tomb – hopefully Jesus’ feet were safe.
Kyle and Odin were angels waiting for Sunday morning to announce, “He is alive!”
The best part of the whole week was getting to spend it with grandsons Kellen and Odin!
Swimming at NRC
Our afternoon outing to Natomas Racquet Club. This are the typical responses I get when I point my camera at Avery and Sophia. Avery pauses and gives me a great smile.
Sophia, on the other hand,
They created a whirlpool in the baby pool.
Final stop, the hot tub with NO bubbles.
