1st Week of Summer Over


The boys spent their first week of summer at basketball camp.  I was really proud of both of them.  They loved it, and learned a lot.  And it wasn't easy -- 3 hours a day all week!  That's a long time for little boys.  They also did golf lessons and swimming lessons with Aunt Kelsey.  So it was a busy, active week.  And yet, they still had enough energy to stay up until 10 PM every night... how do they do that?

This week, Andrew is at Cub Scout camp, and Haley is at volleyball camp.  We'll see how much energy they have after THAT!


This is a picture of Matt's bed after we caught him playing with his toys instead of taking a nap.  He had gathered everything he could find, including his horsey, his garbage (he is absolutely obsessed with garbages), and other random treasures and put them right where he was supposed to be slumbering.  That was a new one.

Haley had to get a picture of her favorite Matthew pose:


And this is peek-a-boo:


A few days ago I cut my finger with a scissor.  I didn't think it was that bad, but it hasn't healed or gone back together in five days.  Perhaps I should have had it stitched, but I didn't.  So while Ben was leading a youth fireside last night, my mother put some New Skin and medical tape on it.  I came home, and he wanted to do even more.  It was really cute how much he wanted to help.  And he did a great job -- he's obviously had a lot of First Aid training.  Unfortunately, the First Aid he did was suited more to a broken limb than a tiny cut on my finger.  But it was really cute anyway.

This is what I ended up with:


And I needed to brush the hairy monster we call a dog, but her hair was getting into my new contraption, so he tied a plastic bag around my hand (which made it oh so easy to brush the dog).  Not.  I took it off when he wasn't looking.  All of it.  But thank you, honey, I love you for caring!
