Summer Fun!

We have had a great first week of summer.  The weather has been beautiful and perfect for soaking up the sun.

So far the only thing the kids want to do is play on the street with their friends!  Especially Taylor, he literally did not leave the street (except on his bike) last week for 3-4 days! This makes for an easy schedule for me and a great motivator for them to do their chores, reading, workbooks etc.. before going out to play! 

All the kids and their friends were playing in the sprinklers so I got Lizzie in he swimming suit.  She looked so precious in her cute suit!  She was being happy and pretty smiley.

That face looks like trouble!  Isaac is so pale, I have to lather him or apray him in sunscreen a few times everyday.  He hates it, and cries and whines everytime.


Emily and her friends are always busy making up dances, playing pretend and bossing Isaac around (which is likes).

I mangaged to get some secret pictures of Taylor while he was distracted with the water rockets.  He is eating non-stop lately, and is growing up too fast.

Here are Tay's buddies warming up in the sun.

Lizzie all tired out after playing in the sun.

This is the time that my kids have been getting up in the mornings!  One day Emily and Isaac woke up at 9:45!  Taylor was already awake and reading "Harry Potter" in his bed.  Yesterday I found him reading while eating a bag of "Fritos" in his bed!  His room smelled so bad! 

Anyway, anyone who knows our family knows thatour kids never sleep in, so this is a summer miracle!  Lately Danny leaves for work without even seeing our kids, which is so rare!

I think Tay, Em and Spike are so exhausted every night from playing hard all day- plus they have been staying up late.  They all sleep in the basement where it's cool and quiet, now if I could only get Lizzie to sleep in! 
We are living the summertime dream!
