We're Havin'a Heat Wave!

As Sunday brought some uncharacteristic heat to our area, the kids and I headed outside to live it up with some old school sprinkler fun. Although I am ashamed to publicly admit this, it is actually the first time that my kids have ever played in the sprinkler. They were amazed that it was so fun! They played for a long time and were just giddy with the idea that they could just be wet. It was so cute, and I almost threw my suit on and joined them. If the heat continues, I will likely follow through on that....

Kaden Worn Out...Could it be???

One Fun Night

On Friday night, we attended the annual fun night at my school, Bentheim Elementary. Greyson was pretty tuckered out (as you can see in the pic), as he has been working on cutting his first couple of teeth, but he was content just to be pushed around in the stroller and stare at all the big kids playing the games and eating junk food. Lauryn and Kaden had a blast! This is their second year going to fun night, and they just think it is the best. They still love all the carnival style games like Pencil Pull, Plinko, and Go Fishing. They also love the dorky little prizes that break within a couple of days and are proudly displayed in the attached picture. All in all...it's cheap entertainment, and totally worth it for them. This year was especially fun for Lauryn, who will most likely go to Bentheim as a kindergartner next year. This time she thought of it as Fun Night at her new school instead of Fun Night at Mom's school. How "fun"!
