Sum-sum-summertime.

Our summer is flying by! The kids are taking some fun summer classes at their school and loving it. Sophie is taking: theater, archeology and cooking. Nora is taking: choir, art and cooking. Miles is taking a "Getting ready for kindergarten" class. Wesley and I walk them up in the morning at 8:15 and the girls walk home at 11 and we pick Miles up at 11:50. Their last day is tomorrow and we are ready for it to be over, but it's been a lot of fun for the kids, and some quiet mornings for Wesley and I to run errands or clean the house.
There are some advantages to having your kids grow up.... Sophie mowed the front lawn for the first time! :)




What do you do when you have 8 bored kids at your house? Pull out some boxes and duct tape...
Nora got to attend a Horse Lovers Day camp with her Girl Scout troop in June. She had a great day learning about horses and taking an hour long horse ride.
We have started preparing Wesley for saying bye-bye to his binky when he turns 3 in September. He knows a binky fairy will be coming the night of his birthday and will take all his binkies and leave him a present! This is what we did with Nora after 2 failed attempts so it's what we are doing with Wes also. I love his binky and am happy he'll have it on our long car ride in August!



One of our favorite summer activities here: catching fireflies! They are such fun bugs and are only around from mid-June to August.
Morning snuggles on the couch.
We consume lots of watermelon in the summertime. Yum!
