The Lazy and not so lazy days of summer

The summer is certainly flying by and the boys are packing in the fun...lots of friends and playdates, camps and VBS, road trips and swimming.  Not so much photography by mom tho...gotta work on that.

 

Turtle Pee

In the event that you haven't seen turtle pee first hand, Zak will be more than happy to give you the play by play of what it looks, feels and smells like.  Let's just say the reptile party was a HUGE hit with these brothers and their Dad.  Van is now lobbying for 7 small crocodiles and 7 turtles...the good news is that he's willing to wait till he's 12 to get them.  Lucky us...hoping that he forgets or moves on to something else by then.
These boys know fun when they see it.

The swing of summer

One week down already...I just know this summer is gonna fly by.  We are slowly getting in a groove since the boys really seem to be craving a routine for these summer days.  Guess that school structure did rub off in a good way.  Lots on the list of things to do this summer...checking off some fun already with friends and cook-outs and kickball and lots to come.

Daddy's Day

"A dad is someone who

wants to catch you before you fall

but instead picks you up,

brushes you off,

and lets you try again." 

Oh how we love him.  

Happy Father's Day!!

It must be summer...

...the Zoku pops are back and tasty as always!!  Can't wait to try some of the new recipes from Pinterest especially the ones for grown-ups only.

Happy Popsicle Days ahead.

Some Days

Some days it only feels like there's a gun to my head to be "the mom"...others days there's a cannon and two boys who find great joy in seeing it.  Here's to some lazy, crazy days of summer adventure ahead with the fun lovers!

Summer Nights

Outdoor music, ice cream, beach balls and fireflies...every boy and every mommy and daddy's dream night.  Thank you Lewis Ginter and Carbon Leaf!
