Because it has rained so darn much this summer...

I tried being extra crafty...or at least let Jack try to be. So I drew a bunch of shapes on a piece of paper. Gave him some scissors, glue sticks, and more paper and told him to cut out the shapes and glue them on the other pieces of paper! Jack LOVED it ! and was doing a great job too. So when Marian woke up from her nap I gave her some crayons so she could be crafty too. I was about a foot away from them the whole time and kept looking up from what I was doing...just to make sure nothing bad happened with the scissors. Apparently I didn't look up often enough!

This is the dress Marian was wearing that day.

This is ONE of the 13 or so cuts Jack made in the dress. Wow. I didn't notice until I was holding Marian later that day. She must not have minded Jack's alterations because she never made a sound. At least he didn't cut her hair.

2: Books, Books, Books!!!

Chad does a hilarous version of the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. Ask him about it and he'll tell you he won 1st place in the 3rd grade storytelling competition with that story. Really, it's great. The kids LOVE it!


Jack has started reading to Marian...sooo cute! I have a video of it but for some reason it's not uploading...I'll work on that!

3: Long baths! My kids are having an exceptionally clean summer...they could play in there for hours!

I just checked the weather. 6 out of the next 7 days are expected to be RAIN. It is summer right?
