Summer Break

What are we doing with our summer break from school?  Well, we are going fun places sometimes, but we're mostly being homebodies and enjoying our air conditioned house.

The boys are BIG into board games right now.  And they are good at them too.  And they will finish their games.  Whoever thinks kids don't have long attention spans hasn't met my kids.  They have been playing games for large amounts of time every day since we finished school.

Playing Clue Junior.

Playing Monopoly.  And this is real Monopoly; no junior stuff for them.  Although we do have Monopoly Junior; they just prefer the real deal for some reason.  Maybe because the money comes in larger bills?  They've been playing everyday.

On Saturday, I played Monopoly with Christopher and Matthew and that game was several hours longs, probably four or five.  Matthew won that game.  I'm not very good I guess.  It is so fun to have kids old enough to do that with.  If only they didn't fight over who gets to be the truck.


We've been baking more than usualy.  Someone showed me the Pioneer Woman blog and how good her recipes are and I think I need an intervention now.  Leah too.

We went to the Children's Museum again with a friend and her two year old and nine month old. 


This is the boys' favorite thing to do at the Children's Museum.  It's the same thing that they do in the creek at our favorite park, building canals.



Leah and Ethan playing with the bubble toys.

Anna seemed to be having fun too, right?

That man is holding a baby monkey.  It was so cute and was even sucking its thumb!


Fun times.  Two and a half more weeks until we start school up again. 
I am so excited!
