Summer

We are having a fun summer.  These two are either best friends or worst enemies.  I love when they are playing great together.  They come up with the cutest games and have so much fun together.  They have been jumping on the trampoline and playing outside a lot.

We go to the summer movies every week with Mel and the kids. 

The kids love going to the movie.  Hallee has been great and slept in her car seat every week.  I try to catch a nap during the movie if I can!

Last week Caitlyn and Katelyn had a lemonade stand.  They were happy that they each made a few bucks.

All the neighbor kids came and bought some and they all ended up staying and helping them.  I made them give Carlos some money because he went door to door selling it.  I thought he deserved a cut! We have been going to story time and lunch with friends and to the park to play a lot.

It is a double edge sword.  The older kids need to get out and play, but it is so much work to take Hallee and Wyatt everywhere.  Hallee wants her freedom so she can't be restrained for long.

I try to be home for at least one nap for Hallee.  I need the down time as much as she does.  I can't be busy all day every day.  I have to have some down time.

Hallee gets so excited when dad comes home!

Saturday was my birthday.  Keith was supposed to be at youth conference, but he ended up coming home Friday night.  I was so glad.  He left Thursday morning and everything seemed to go wrong on Thursday.  I was so happy to see him.

I went to lunch with my mom and Mel on Saturday.  Saturday night EJ came and watched the kids so Keith and I could go to dinner.  It was so nice to get out.  Keith was great and let me sleep in and gave me the day off.  It was wonderful!
