Assembly line

 

The kids have been doing chores all day due to some poor choices last night.  Now, they are making sandwiches for the freezer and watching a Veggie tales. 

End of the week. Finally.

When the week is only half over

Feeling hot

 

Our air is out.  We are hot.  And tired. 

Our Sabbath

 

A tea party for breakfast before church. 

 

The kids helped me make fruit salad, biscuits and yogurt with honey served with hot tea.

 

For family game night, we tried this new one I found in the Target clearance section the other week. 

 

It was so fun and it was adaptable for all of our kid's ages which can be challenging to find sometimes. 

 

And I am a happy mama b/c everyone finally took naps including me! 

Date night

 

Dinner, Movie and book store with this handsome guy.  My little butterfly friend (whom I named Fred) kept following me and wouldn't leave.

We are all super tired. 

Late night Coughs

 

This sweet guy has been having midnight coughing episodes that have kept us all awake for several nights now.  They doctor basically said it was nothing treatable and has to just go away on it's own.  So, until then he's been crashing in our room. 

Heidi Braids

 

We just finished watching the old version of Heidi (which we all love!) and the girls insisted on Heidi braids this morning. 

Rain Play

 They're playin' in the rain...

 Just playin' in the rain...

 They're happy again...

 They walk down the lane...

 With a happy refrain...

 Just singing and splashin' in the rain....

 Come on with the rain...

 They've a smile on their face...

 Just playin' in...

 The rain.
