Summer Week 2

All three, all day, all week...
We did a whole lot of running around.
Swim lessons for Hayden, while Sage entertains herself in the splash pool; Marlee just does laps around the fence.
First Soccer Game: Hayden's team, the Orange Jets got rocked by a group of girls in purple. :)
Hayden got his own library card. And we set off on the summer reading program. We are reading James and the Giant Peach, Mr. Baseball and Katie Lynn Cookie Company. Hayden wows me with his reading.
Lots of sun-Thank goodness for spray on sunscreen, and the glue stick looking sunscreen is fab for faces! Sprinklers, kiddie pools, friends, fountains and slip-n-slides, oh my.
Marlee 2-fistin popsicles. The cherry-mango is yummy (and it was mine, originally)Both top teeth have FINALLY come in!!! whoo hoo. Boy was she a bear the last few weeks (months).
Marlee's favorite outdoor activity: painting. Give her a bucket of water and a brush and she is good to go. No mess, no clean up. Sage loves this too.
Hayden and I played several games of Uno, I celebrated the graduation from kiddie games. It was lots of fun to play a real game. Unfortunatly I think Sage and Marlee still have lots of Candy land and Shoots and Ladders left in them.
Lots of yard work, got the back yard looking decent.
1st boat ride of the year. Oh wow, now it's really summer! Marlee loved the boat. I was a bit worried after last summer, but she just was too little. Sage and Hayden and I dipped our toes in the frigid river, too wimpy to go any further. Hoping to log many more hours on the boat before fall.
