Oompa Loompa’s and Witches

EPCC-pool

Saturday we spent the day cleaning to get ready for our Home inspection, which is scheduled for Monday afternoon at 4:00pm. It is also suppose to be 103 degrees! Should be a fun and hot day.

Sunday, Shawn came over and helped us by mowing the lawn with Joshua. He then got all excited and wanted to vacuum, which we were happy to let him do! For those of you in the ICS, you will like this next part. Shawn walked over to Anthony’s desk, saw the Nicole the Great Bobble head doll, and asked, “Why do you have a witch on your desk?” We both had to take a minute to compose ourselves.

After the chores, Anthony made toasted tuna fish sandwiches with apple slices and some homemade Mac & Cheese. Then Joshua and Shawn decided to go swimming. This was a fun adventure for Joshua as it has been ten years since he last taught kids how to swim. Shawn also had a great time over at the East Portland Community pool as it has a Water Slide & current river complete with a whirlpool. Shawn is a great little swimmer and was willing and eager  to learn. The highlight was definitely the whirlpool area as Shawn was going around in circles. It is a wonder he didn’t get dizzy. Joshua was tired as the whole swimming experience lasted about 2 hours.

After swimming, we all plopped down in front of the TV and watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Joshua tried to take a small power nap and passed out right on the sofa. Only to be awoken by the many questions and excited remarks from Shawn. The best one came right at the part where Vioet finds her Dinner flavored gum and is about to start chewing. Shawn jumps up and announces that Anthony needs to go to the store and get gum just like that for Joshua and himself to chew. Then less then 5 minutes and one giant blueberry later a much less excited voice from Shawn quietly told to Anthony that he no longer wants THAT type of gum.
