Last day of summer

Sleeping

Painting before breakfast? Why not? It's the last day of summer!

Donuts & Skylanders!

Reading. 

Posing. 

Playing in the water table. 

Rain that changed the day. Our power went out at 5:30 from wind & rain taking out power poles & power lines. It's not expected to come back on until 4:30am!! 

We went over to the in laws so the kids could shower. They got sidetracked by blocks, who can say no to blocks? Not these guys!!!

Since both kids are afraid of the dark, they'll both be sleeping in our bed tonight. Four is a crowd, but it's a fun crowd! 

Hope you all had as fun a summer as we did!! 2013 is definitely a summer to remember!!

Monday fun

What started out as some water balloon fun with the Littles escalated to buckets of water over their heads! I guess that's what happens when you combine three year old children, hot mornings, and water!

Pool fun

I've been trying to get the kids to the pool 3 or 4 times a week, and so far, so good. We've gone everyday this week except Wednesday. We couldn't go Wednesday because there was a storm. 

I'm driving them to the next town over today to check out a different park. I'll post pics of that soon. In the mean time, here are pictures from the pool this week. 

Weekend

Saturday Jax got a summer "do"

Here's a before

Here's after!

Maryam & Charlie went to a painting class at this cute place called the Art Mill.  Look at their beautiful creations!

Lunch after haircuts and art class!

Jax chilling in his car seat in the parking lot waiting to switch cars for some "boy time" with Daddy 

Sunday we had a fun cook out at the lake. This pictures will be in a separate post. 

Pool time

Our park has this cool little pool w/sprinklers built into it. It opened up on Memorial Day weekend. Sarah and I took them on that Sunday, then I took them almost everyday last week! We only go for about an hour and I vary the time so they see different people when they go. 

It's an easy place for me to take all four. I've set a few rules like they must always stay together. No one can be by them self. No running, or jumping in, even though the lifeguard doesn't seem to care. So far, all four of them have been model citizens!
