In June I went to buy 4th of July outfits for my children & couldn't resist these ladybug dresses as well. When I realized we all matched for church on Sunday, my husband was kind enough to set up the self-timing camera for us -- always a funny time trying to get a good family photo, right?
One day my mom was kind enough to babysit while I was gone (at the dentist) for about 90 minutes. When I came home I realized my mother was a little too nice. Can you see her hand poking out by Kaelah's arm? She let my children pile almost every object in the entire basement on top of her. She figured no one else in the family would ever let them do that. We spent HOURS cleaning it up. My mother informed the children that was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Thank goodness!
We love the summer reading program at the local public library. The prizes are great, and since we knew from the start we had to be reading 20-30 minutes a day, it wasn't stressful like last year. Reading works really well for my little ones 10-15 minutes at a time, so we just made sure to add books after lunch along with before bed. Above, Danny enjoys a special Independence Day story time and below, Michelle enjoys playing with puppets. (Danny is behind the stage somewhere too.)
As a belated Father's Day present, I sent Dan and my dad and Danny to the Nascar race track in Dacono. They had a great time. Of course the noise was a bit much (Danny lost his ear phones in the van on the way there) but he was super excited to be there. Nothing a little finger chewing can't help with. (:
