Summer overload! After we got back from basically a month long of fasting it was time to get into our normal summer 'routine' which isn't really a routine just stuff we like to do. First off we went to one of the shows put on by the library. It was a puppet show and had the boys laughing hysterically. I got a hilarious video of them. One of my favorite things in the world is to hear those boys laugh.
For a long weekend the boys went off with grandma and grandpa camping which was fun. I hear Max had his moments, he is in a very defiant stage and while he is one of the sweetest cuddliest boys he can also turn and be just as uncooperative and 'growly'. We're working on it!
One one of the drives. Max love this book, Robot Mix Up, and we make robots all the time.
I got these from our bushes! Jason has been doing an amazing job keeping the yard weeded and looking good. He's gotten into plants lately and I have not been helpful at all keeping up with any sort of weeding. Ah well.
And Levi has been a reading fool. I love love love seeing my boys get into books.
Blueberry picking.
More books. Sometimes Max will go up to Levi and ask him to read something. In this particular moment it had gone quiet in the house, which is not normal. Usually they are either fighting or playing nice and talking up a storm telling lego stories or something. It was a nice quiet, however short lived it was.
Levi had a dentist appointment and I was so suprised at how well Max did waiting. No phone or electronics were needed, he just played and drew some pictures.
Also you can't see it but he is wearing different shoes, for some reason he has decided that he loves to mix and match his shoes. Drives his dad crazy but for me I don't really care. Pick your battles I say, especially so long as he is putting on his own shoes and I don't have to.
The boys got on my phone and made this little number.
And we LOVE going to library story time. On the first couple of times Max was more hesitant but eventually got into it and loves all the stories and songs they do.
I usually let the boys pick out one movie each and since his buddy Cameron has been talking about Power Rangers and showed off his awesome ranger skills Max insisted on a 'Ranger Movie'. He was quite excited.
While I totally think Power Rangers are super corny and fairly annoying it was again a pick your battle sort of thing and there is just something infectious about seeing your kid really get excited about something, like picking out a cheap plastic toy from the dollar store. It's silly but you only get to be a kid once. It goes by far too fast.
Imagination time! They come up with the craziest stories. I love to eavesdrop on them. They have a blast, that is until someone takes something they shouldn't have or in some other way is offended then it's an all out battle zone.
More reading. This time Levi had 'snuck' an audio book. He would sit and listen to them all day if he could. The boys turned on the AC in their room (we have small units in their room and ours) and decided to have book time. I can't complain much.
Oh and all the berry picking. I don't know why but for some reason I love love love picking berries and could do it all day long, no joke. The boys tolerated it and took turns pulling the wagon. Max wanted to be king and pulled around and luckily Levi complied. We ate blueberries to our hearts content for weeks and now we have a ton of frozen blueberries, a favorite snack around here, to get us to next season. I hope. Last year we barely made it.
More hanging in the AC room.
We got an invite to go swimming at our cousin's in-laws house, the boys loved it and Levi has gotten to be a much better swimmer this year.
I finally let them watch the power ranger movie for movie night. They were enthralled.
Max sleeping in the door way, he wanted to be in the light. What a sweetie.
