Cranky, cranky, make a pest a pet

All-in-all, it was a very beautiful day - we're working to make some rough moments smooth. Here are the highlights ;-)
I've started giving the boys credit for all the chores they do without complaint - for every ten checks they earn, we'll do a treat like the movies. Jack was a few shy for tomorrow's movie and decided he could wash the dishes (yes, I have an instructional video LOL)
We went to an exotic animal show at the library today - it was cool...
....a close-up, just in case you missed the pest on Jack's arm - it's a tarantula :eww: He actually volunteered, brave little thing! We saw lots of creepy, slimy things - oh, boyjoy!


After swim lessons which went great, I asked who did a good job and got this response ;-)
They had an exceptional day with lessons, a minor miracle given that Harry was very upset about something that happened before the lesson and Jack had his back - I left them both mopey and in tears, only to come back to happy, smiling boys who had learned several new skills and earned ribbons! (Look at those clouds reflected in the van windows)
Tho the pic's not great, that sign to their left shows that they are both well on their way to 4 feet tall - eek!
You can't really see it, but Harry had christened most of his face
Jack lost his scoop, so we shared - you can see his tear and his skinned nose if you look closely
Happy week!
