Spookas

On my last trip to NYC, Eric and I stopped at IKEA.  It was my first trip to IKEA ever, and it is heaven there.  They have everything you need -- for cheap!  They even have a child care area that you can drop your children off at, then go shopping.  They have a restaurant and grocery store, too!  I found these little night lights and got one for each of the kids.  They change color, and are super cute.  The kids love them!  This is Matt holding his Spooka:

Football Camps

Most of the first month of summer was spent at sports camps.  It's good to just get them done!  The boys enjoyed having the MSU football team come and teach them some good stuff.  Joey and his friend Reece went for a couple of mornings, and then Andrew and his friends went for two afternoons and a full day.

It was hard to get pictures because they were way off in the field, but I managed to get one of Joey when he was done.  He really liked his coach -- he was funny, AND had long hair!

Andrew worked with a lot of coaches, and they ran lots of drills.  In the first picture, he's getting up to go run over to the drill area, and in the second one, he's running.

And for a special bonus for Matthew, they stored all the equipment in garbage cans!  And yes, we looked in every...single...one... (twice).
