Cameron worked really hard on a collage on the dry erase board. If you look close at the photo, you can see that he had me label each picture. He loves to draw and has a natural ear for music. Wonder where that will take him?
A pan makes a wonderful phone. If you hold it up to your ear and mouth, you can hear the echo of your voice. Cameron and Carson played the phone rang over and over as they talked into the pan. Cameron is also wearing his homemade King Arthur crown. Why do I ever bother to buy toys!?
Cameron insisted on wearing suspenders while we went out to do errands today. Adorable!
Launch sequence has begun. In 5..4..3..2..1....Liftoff!
Sometimes it's the smallest hurt that needs the most love. This was the tiniest scratch, but was about 6 inches long. A homemade bandage was a must!
I took the boys to get a checkup at the pediatrician today. It's been a long time since we've been. They told me that the boys are healthy and growing well!
Mark tells the boys a story for bedtime several times a week. Tonight's story didn't last very long. Everyone was exhausted from the fun filled fourth of july weekend.
Driving around town, a little voice chimes in from the back seat:
Cameron, "Mom this car is a lot like boat. The stern is in the back and the bowel is in the front"
Carson created a control panel to operate when we are driving in the van. It is called 'Flyer 1' and he used musical cymbals for the main controls. We are putting good use to all of our beer tops as buttons on the Flyer 1 control panel.
Before heading off to deliver meals on wheels, the boys did a few activities in the craft room. Here is Cameron making letters using wild rice. B was definitely his favorite.
The boys and I decided to try to put our picnic table to good use and eat breakfast outside as much as possible this summer.
Here is the family having a blast at my parent's house. Looking forward to arroz con frijoles negros in a little while! Gotta go, mojito is calling my name :o)
Carson is making French toast casserole for the morning. It's a wonderful recipe that we make once or twice a month. I am thrilled to be relieved of my breakfast duties. Thanks Carson!
Carson's haircut went a little smoother than Cam's, but when it started sprinkling on us (backyard haircut), you would have thought I was torturing the boy.
Cameron was happy about me cutting his hair for exactly 20 seconds. With this wigglyworm, I'm lucky it turned out ok!
The birds have claimed some of our tomatoes, but there were still plenty to spare. The cucumbers are still growing like crazy. Soon we'll have more yellow squash, watermelon, corn and maybe beets and brussel sprouts.
Well, I was going to clean the house, administer a math test and cook dinner this afternoon, but when a friend called to meet at a splashpad, I just couldn't resist!
I took the boys bowling with a fun group of friends. It is so sweet watching the older ones help the younger children. I think my boys had just as much fun goofing off in the arcade after bowling.
What better way to spend the first day of summer than swimming? We are fortunate enough to spend the day with my 14 year old niece. She actually convinced me to go down the 'non-scary' water slide twice. It was a bit scary to me!
Carson, "CAM, we need to put on gloves to pick the veggies from the garden"
Cam, "But those gloves don't fit me"
Carson, "Yes they do. You see a glove always has 5 finger holes and you always have 5 fingers. Look, 1,2,3,4,5 (counting).
Cam, "Ok!!"
Cameron, "When Daddy's a baby, I want him to ride in my carseat"
Carson accidentally left a library book in the rain and instead of telling me, he squashed it under our library book basket. Let me tell you, that's a great place for mold to grow. The smell was very potent! yuck
We went to the library last night where I made him pay for half of the value of the book. He was not happy at all, but owned his mistake. Lesson learned
The boys had their best friend over for a playday today. They had a blast! Slip n Slide, Legos, swords, fort building, corn starch play, and nerf.
As they were pulling away, Cameron yelled, "Over and out!"
Cam is really having a blast with one of his newest friends!
As I was getting dinner ready, I looked outside to find a fun jam session going on.
