Operation new deck begins this week! I wanted to record what our deck looks like before it gets torn down later this week.

A few weeks ago Joi mentioned that she would be willing to help me tint and lift my eyelashes this summer. Now that school is out she reached out and asked if I would be available Monday. I already was planning to meet with Charlotte and Michelle about the OPC carnival so we combined the meetings and Joi did our lashes or brows while discussing the carnival, among other things. It was such a fun night! Joi is the ultimate hostess.

I took Miles to Children's Mercy to get his annual leg x-ray to check make sure his osteochondroma isn't growing. It seems to be stable and isn't causing him any pain so we won't do anything for now. Miles was a little nervous about the x-ray, but he did great and walked into the room all by himself.

We spent a lot of time at the pool this week. Joi brought freezer pops to share (Miles ate one but did not want to be in the photo). Will had baseball camp at SMS Monday through Thursday mornings this week. He enjoyed it, though he was older than most of the kids there.

Our deck is gone! They started tearing it out on Tuesday, and finished the job today. Thursday evening we "cleaned up" all the junk that was hiding under the deck and did our best to fit what we could in the dumpster. The dumpster filled up faster than we anticipated, so we are going to have to figure out an alternative way to get rid of some of this junk.

Friday was the Pink Thunder's final hurrah. Her teammate Madelyn's dad has a connection with the KC Current and was able to schedule Lauren's team to be part of the pre-game ceremonies at CPKC stadium. The girls got meet players before the game, walk onto the field with the players at the start of the game, and then stand on the field during the National Anthem. The only downside was they had to wear blue "Amazon Prime" shirts when they walked onto the field, because the game was broadcast on Amazon Prime. We were hoping that family at home could see her on the field, but apparently Amazon Prime doesn't broadcast the opening ceremonies. It was a fun game to watch with the Pink Thunder family. The Current tied the Chicago Stars 2-2.

Miles is loving his new bed. He often perches at the top of the ladder reading books. I am tickled every time I hear him reading to himself in that spot.
