Sean had his two baby eye teeth pulled yesterday because his adult teeth were growing in right on top of the baby teeth. The orthodontist is hoping that now that all that space is available, his eye teeth will grow into their proper places.
Both boys are at school for exams today: Sean is taking his socials exam, Dylan is taking a make-up socials test and then his English provincial. Friday he takes his Socials provincial and then he's done for the summer. Sean has a science test tomorrow, and then he's a free man. The girls wrap up their preschool year with a graduation ceremony on Tuesday.
We finally have some moist weather. It's been so hot and dry here...great swimming weather in the afternoon, but last night it must have sprinkled all night long so the lawn and flowers got a little water.
Don is taking a test right now, too. It's for some Microsoft certification that will look great on his resume, but apparently it's a difficult exam. He's passing the practice online tests, but just barely. You need 85% to pass, so we're on pins and needles right now.
Today we're dropping the girls off at school, picking up Sean from school, and then Lucille, Nick, and I are heading to Abbotsford for haircuts. Tomorrow we're hoping to work pedicures into our schedule, as our early May pedicures have clearly expired.
We were able to talk with Nathan on Monday night and he said that he passed the three tests that he took the first week of A school. Yeah! He also said that this week they were working a lot with knots and line splicing so all of his cadet training should come in handy. And they're doing more physical training this week, so Nathan figures he'll look pretty good this week. Did I mention that he was the fastest in his class at the 1.5 mile run by about 20 seconds?
He also found out that there is an option for Boatswain's Mates to become dog handlers...they use German Shepards for port security purposes so he's going to explore that a little further...he'd love to do something like that.
More later...

Thanks for the clarification on Sean's extractions! Sounds like all is "go" there, and we'll be hoping for great test scores, for all the Murphy men!
Enjoy your pedis! And tell Lucille hi for me.
Also good news on Nathan, and I can totally see him doing the dog handler thing.
Love you!
Mom
