Ordinary Extraordinary July!

We continue to live the freedom of summer to it's fullest around here, enjoying ordinary but extraordinary things (at least we think!).  Noah has had some time to do art projects, which he loves.  Recently he made "character tablets" which are character faces shaped into tablet size made from construction paper.  I think they turned out awesome!
 Sam was blessed with a plethora of art supplies for his birthday, so we took advantage of the weather and did some outdoor painting with glitter paint (thanks Bamma) and big spiderman pictures (thanks Auntie Kim).  We chose to do this during nap time so that Isaac wouldn't make a giant mess.

 Our local park district hosts some outdoor concerts nearby, on Thursday Noah and I had a date night.
 I think he enjoyed the gummy worms more than the music (mostly Motown and Oldies).  It was a fun evening to spend some special time with my big guy!
 The boys had a special sleepover at my parents house, which they thoroughly enjoyed.  Of course they had to have a fun pancake breakfast before they came home!
 The weather has just been great lately, which has allowed a lot of time to play outside.  Nothing says July like freeze pops outside while playing on the slip n slide!
 We also took a trip to the local splash pad on Sunday and played at the park.  The boys love spinning around until they can't walk straight!

 Sam also was the lucky recipient of a razor scooter from Josh and Kjersten, so we took that out for a spin too.  They both did well racing around the driveway!

 Another gift Sam received, from us, was a Wubble Bubble ball.  Yep, it's one of those "As Seen on TV" products that he had been begging for.  It is pretty fun, a bouncy stretchy plastic material that can stand up to 3 boys!  Mom approved (as of now)!

So, the fun continues as we march through summer!
