Summer continued...

We have been busy every day! I get up and get the kids to the pool child care center by 8:30 then get off to work by 8:45. They have a great time playing at the center while Mark is working!!! I like working at the Sylvan center. The kids are really great and the working environment is very relaxed and structured.

We have been exploring some fun things!! Last week we got out the flour and cars & made tracks. Here's Nathan's handy work...

Next he decided he wanted to try his hand at photography. Missed his mark, just by a tad... Maybe he thinks mom looks better with no head?
Almost got it!
Here they are out on the patio having a snack on Friday. It was warm, but not as hot as his had been the days before. On those days, Nathan refused to go outside, "It's too hot mommy, I too hot!" Fair weather friend as it were...I had to put these in... they are playing 'Up See Down' (upsidedown) & Right Side Up, which entails bending over to look at stuff upsidedown...too funny.


Playing in the water table on the patio...

A pic of mommy & Nathan... just for times sake!

This video is of the kids blowing you all kisses from afar! I am pretty sure they repeated, "I love you" in there somewhere but it sounds more like, "I wuff ewe."

This last video is Nathan's Dare Devil Stunt... he's getting more adventurous!

Thanks for checking in on us. Hope you have had a great July... I can't believe it's coming to a close as well, where are the days going? Nathan loves the game "I Spy." We played it all the way home from church tonight. Anne chimed in with "I pie... boo core" meaning, I spy a blue car. Oddly, it was incredibly accurate but only the first 3 times, ha!

My gardening is going fairly well. Though it's been several weeks, I still don't have any green beans on my vines and some type of small animal, maybe baby racoon size has eaten my bell pepper blossoms and my two tiny, green tomatoes, and of course the cucumber blossoms as well. At least if we don't get to enjoy our veggies, someone or something else will! We did get to test our snap peas, the 5 that grew, ha! I am glad we didn't do too many veggies, we needed to learn about growing them!

We will post again soon!!!

Love,

Joy, Mark & the Kidletts
