At home Brian opened his gifts, aka "Brian needs a new wardrobe". Every year he gets new clothes. Because he rarely shops for himself! He also got a DVD and a couple camping/lounge chairs. So at least something kind of fun. Plus, the day before, we'd gone out shopping for a few plants and looking at new kitchen faucets, and we bought an air compressor for Brian. We got a new pool for the kids, as our old one had holes, so it sounded like a good plan to buy an air compressor. And it is a lot nicer for inflating the pool! I told him that could be his Father's Day present. :D
Brian chose a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and strawberries.
All three big kids started swimming lessons on the 15th. Lauren told me yesterday, very matter-of-factly, "I got to learn how to swim..." Miss Jennie said she is very relaxed in the pool, so I guess that's a good thing. Anyway, that morning, the 15th, the first day of summer vacation, the big kids were playing with Caroline while I took a shower. They were all so excited; they'd put her in the little rocking chair (without me knowing) and had to tell me come see! Lauren's blouse was another sewing project I finished the week before.
This little pillowcase dress is one I sewed for our niece, Annaliese's birthday. She is three weeks older than Caroline. It got re-ironed and wrapped right after these pictures. ;) Caroline will get her own soon enough. I found the idea on Etsy. There are tons of pillowcase dresses on there. I think they are so cute for little girls, and so easy to make!
