Lazy Days of Summer Day 1
So I had this idea of posting & taking a picture of the kids everyday this summer. Thought it would be fun to document the lazy days of this crew.
DAY 1 Water ballon & squirt gun fight.
Today has already been a busy start to our summer. We woke up early…(none of these kids EVER sleep in. Sleeping in is sleeping until 7 a.m.). Had breakfast & off we went for our 4 mile walk. Yep! We are kicking off the summer in a healthy ACTIVE way. I had already warned them all that we would be walking EVERY morning. We will see how long it lasts. : )
Older two boys are working with dad today. I’m bummed I didn’t get to go and get a picture of them.
We went through backpacks, cleaned up our mess from lunch & outside they went for thier balloon & watergun fight. It’s breezy & a tad cold. I don’t know how they can stand the cold water. Boys & water…the water NEVER gets old.

After cleaning up from the water fight…we are headed to the library. Another goal this summer is to keep these kids READING ! We joined the reading program at the public library. I was going to make a special log for them to record thier minutes of reading but thier packet came with one from the library. Charlie has already kicked into gear reading.

My kids are all motivated by MONEY! Whoever reads the most gets the loot. : )
After dinner we had a bon fire. It was the perfect cool evening to sit out there. I’m so bummed I didn’t get a picture of Jack looking all scruffy from working all day. Those two boys had too much fun. Drank Mountain Dew & had some good brother bonding. Laughing so much while telling me all about their day. Jack’s new word…JACKPOT. He must have said it a million times when they were home for lunch. Steve said he was going to dock his pay if he said it again….he just laughed and said “jackpot”. Oh Jack…he makes us laugh.

Great start to summer. I hope our days can continue to be as fun & these kids will continue to get along. I know there are days ahead that won’t be all peaches & cream…but I’m going to enjoy every day with these rascals no matter what.
