The end of summer is near and these two buddies have been inseparable and I have a feeling will miss each others company.
We like to to refer to these two as "dumb and dumber" as they pull stunts like this riding a bike around together!
One thing I won't miss with summers end are these dirty toes!! Bath night every night!! And bumps and bruises!!
These two are buddies.
Ellery has always loved playing with Mr B...
But sometimes its not so easy to get "Breck time" when her little brother is around and they play "boy" things.
But when Calvin leaves to bike around the block,
Ellery becomes number one! And she is in heaven....
And so am I.
She's calm, sweet, motherly, and loves to teach Breck new things....
Then beams with joy!
T-1.5 years till she can babysit for us alone
Breck loves to do it all on his own lately "no mamma, I do!!"
Usually when he's being to quiet we know something is up...as usually he doesn't stop talking (just like his father...err mom)!
And when he does appear its usually like this....
Grandpa Tom celebrated his sixty third birthday...
-with a few of his favorite grandkids.
-with most of his favorite children.
We celebrated his birthday like most families do....
-taking turns shooting a pellet gun in the rain.
-seeing who has the best aim at the white box with tin cans on it.
(Who won? You would think grandpa Tom, right!? Nope, grandma Shirley 1st and Ellery a close 2 nd....but who's counting!)
Then us wonderful daughters made chicken fajitas for dinner
And Ellery and I made his favorite strawberry cake for dessert.
Perfect evening of celebration!!
Happy birthday dad!!
Yesterday the kids and I tie dyed beach towels!
It was my first time in (maybe forever) that I have done it...let alone a towel,
But they turned out fabulous!!
And it was a blast!
Now Breck has a new towel for vacation. Thus week we leave for our annual Park Rapids vaca.....
Relaxation and beach fun!
*Walmart has white all cotten towels for $3.98 and packets of dye for $2.98
Cheap entertainment!!
This little boy thinks he needs to jump in bed with us the morning...
Sometimes morning being four am, sometimes six, either way...
To early!
It would be different if he acually snuggled,
But nope
He's a wiggle worm!
So question....
How do you get your toddler to stay in his bed ALL NIGHT LONG?
(Without caving in because of there cute faces and sweet whispers of "daddy, daddy,daddy along with thier little fingers tapping you on the arm).
