Sweet Summertime

This summer we have three weeks where all four of us are home together.  After the fourth of July starts summer school for me in the mornings, VBS for the kids and Jay and then Jay going out of town for work.  We are soaking up these lazy days at home.  Each day starts with a to do list that usually gets interrupted by play time.  Luckily, with both of us home, we can tag team playing with the kids and getting stuff done around the house. We have learned it is impossible to try to do both at the same time!

A new favorite activity has been "painting" the patio with water.  It keeps them busy and entertained for quite a while.  

We usually spend the morning and late afternoon/ evening outside.  When it is too hot to go out Charlotte is busy playing with her dolls and trying to take care of them. Trey has rediscovered his train set after he got a new James car yesterday.  The trains have been going up and down mountains all over the house!

This afternoon I got Charlotte ready to go swimming in the creek when we realized it might start storming soon.  I left her in her new bathing suit since she gets so wet playing with the water table anyways.  Trey did not want to put on his bathing suit, but he was happy to wear his new hat and mow the lawn all evening.
