Where did the summer go????

 

This summer has just flown by....

Being busy with a house full of kids day after day has had me slacking on the blog front.

So today I decided to mash the whole summer in one post!

 

Here's what we have been doing to stay busy:

Swimming! Warm days = pool days

Children's Science Museum:

A day at the museum with some great friends!

Annual Tie Dye Day:

Each summer we tie dye. Last year it was towels and this year t shirts!

Messy fun!

 

Lemonade Stand:

And every summer out per neighbors request...

we have our annual lemonade and cookie sale stand!

Movie Day:

The kids earned enough money from their lemonade stand (from our generous neighbors, friends, and families) to go to Despicable Me 2! Along with popcorn, freezes, and treats!

 

 

Preparing:

And in between all the fun...

we have been slowly preparing for baby girl to arrive in November!

My wonderful sweet cousin sent this adorable NB outfit and some bubble gum for the little guy...he was so excited (for the gum that is)!

 

 

Birthday Parties:

We celebrated Jerod's 33 birthday!

A pretty low key day (just as he likes it).

Mowing the lawn on his new rider with his favorite little fan, dinner out with family, and cards with friends.

 

Being a goof ball:

Here my little guy is running away from home!

He got on his scooter, grabbed his glasses and crown and said "I'm running away to Elsa's house" (Elsa is his princess he is going to marry some day)

 

Whenever we are outside he insists on wearing his life jacket.

I call him Noah, waiting for the flood. Always prepared :)

 

Dates:

Since Jerod has been working and staying in the cities from time to time this summer, Mr. B and I have had some quality time together. Including dinner dates followed by ice cream!

 

Dress Up and Dance Parties:

The kids, when bored, have been keeping entertained by dressing up and blasting the music to bust some moves! Whatever keeps them busy.

 

Or dressing up as super heroes and saving the world!

 

 

Fall like Mornings:

And on mornings like today, we spend all the time we got outside playing!

Boys bike around the driveway, play hockey and baseball, while Ellery and I create chalk art!

(forecast calls for rain tonight...Ellery is bummed)

 

Goodnight:

And after days like those,

we are exhausted and ready for some shut eye!

(at least for this mom)
