Towels


It seems like in the summer I have more laundry. At first I could not figure out why, and then I saw all the towels I was washing. From going to the pool once a week, to playing at the splash pad at the park, I was washing a ton. And my poor dryer was working over time. So to help save on electricity and save my dryer I have started hanging my towels outside to dry. It works great, most of the time. There was that one day when it rained and my almost dry towels weren't dry anymore. Steve said they were summer rain washed.

Fun with duct tape





A wallet, a baby gate or a shark trap, there are so many things you can do with duct tape. Let's just say Andy has been having lots of fun this week. It must be a guy thing.

Saturday Fun

Andy and Ellyn had a cookie and lemonade stand today. They did pretty good, maybe we should start charging rent.

Kelsey is ready for the pool! She loves to "swim", but also loves to just hang out with mom.

boys and girls

What started out as a science project, turned into a study on the differences in boys and girls. To me that has been one of the most interesting things about having a boy and two girls. Seeing just how different they are.

For science we are studying the skeletal system and for our project the kids had to make little guys (or girls) out of clay. The first figure had no "bones", we had to see what would happen to us if God had not given us our bones. The next step was to add our bones (toothpicks) and see if this was better for our guys. The kids had fun playing with the clay, making their guys and seeing the results.

After it was all said and done they wanted to just play with the clay. So I let them and they had a little more fun.

Andy's guy...
Poor guy, he needs some bones...
Ellyn's girl, with bones...Much better

Ellyn's free time with clay. What a cute picture. Such a girl...
And yes here is Andy's...What is a mom to do? Just enjoy having a boy I guess.
