Last week of summer (continued)

Thursday night some friends invited us up to the canyon for dinner and smores.  The kids were so excited to go.  I thought I was doing so well, I had everything packed and ready to go and we even left on time to follow our friends up there.  We got about five minutes from home and Keith asked if I brought the hot dogs, nope!  I brought everything except for that.  We had to make a quick stop at a store and then we were on our way again.
The boys got right to work on a fort to fight the bad guys.  Jonah was in heaven playing with others boys and sticks and rocks.  It doesn't get much better than that for him.
The girls helped the boys with the fort for a little while and then they moved on to other things.  Of course Caitlyn, who never has to go to the bathroom had to go twice while we were up there.  Yuck!
These two always have fun together.  They crack me up to listen to them.  They are always planning play dates or their latest project, a dance.  Caitlyn keeps telling me about it and what I need to make for it, but doesn't seem to worried about when it will actually happen.
Wyatt loved sitting in these little chairs.  He thought he was pretty big to have his own chair.
I love this picture.  What handsome boys! 
Jonah was excited to roast his own marshmallows. 
We all love the smores!
It was a great night with great company!
On Friday night we had a neighborhood barbecue.  The kids had a great time on the slip and slide.
Keith and I sat around and visited all night and hardly saw the kids.  They were happy running around with all of the other kids.  Wyatt was awesome and just hung out by us and played with chairs and cups.  He always makes things so easy on us.  I keep wishing he would walk and then I wonder why because then I will just be chasing him around. 
Jonah likes to show off his tough muscles any chance he gets.  Luckily Baylee was okay with it!  Today Keith and I painted our sheds.  We almost put it off to just play, but figured we better get it done before he goes back to school.  I got stung by a bee three times.  Twice on the same hand, my hand is killing me.  At least our painting (at least outside) projects are out of the way for now.  It has been a fun week.  I'm really not looking forward to school starting, but it will be nice to slow down a little.
