Color week was probably our most activity filled. There are just so many fun things to do.
Trying on his bow tie for Devin's wedding |
Color mixing with ice |
Watching each color melt |
making rainbow frosting |
color build challenge |
squirt gun painting |
chromatography with markers and coffee filters |
Edible finger paint |
Water balloon fight and chilling in the pool |
running through sprinklers with dad |
and drying off on mom |
Wes had to have the Wii remote too |
It's an extra special treat when pup gets to come down stairs |
Next up was ocean week. I had a hard time with ocean week and ice week for some reason. I think mostly, the experiments didn't match the patience of my kids so by the time we had results we were all grouchy.
Waves in a bottle |
learning about currents |
Dan suggested we get a fish for ocean week and it was kind of an ordeal to actually get him but three stores and one meltdown later, we had Black Pearl home.
Every few months these glasses make a big comeback |
trying to squeeze into one car! |
bottle diver (kinda like the old tony tiger toy) |
Jellyfish in a bottle |
Enjoying the park |
A few of my roommates were able to get together to visit when Michelle was in town. It was so fun to see all our kids together. |
Playing in the "sea foam" |
Dan installed three new fans in our house and you should have seen how excited the boys were when he went into the attic. They were glued to the doorway and kept calling for Dan.
Wes was very distraught that Camden got to cross the gate and he didn't |
Reading the instructions and sucking on the damp tees |
In progress |
Dan had a flag ceremony for us on the 4th |
Look how happy those kids are! |
Matchers! |
He loved it so much he keeps talking about. We went over to Sam and Shauna's church where fireworks are allowed and did a few fireworks. As we were doing ours, a couple of guys across the parking lot started unloading trucks and trucks of fire crates of fireworks. More trucks just kept coming and soon neighborhood families showed up too. We stuck around and had a huge, professional fireworks show! It was pretty loud and we backed up because we were nervously close but the kids loved it.
Wesley was not scared at all and would have walked right out to the fire if we'd let him |
Splash pad hand holding! |
Shaving creme firework prints |
These two. Some days I can't |
salt and glue fireworks |
fireworks in a jar |
Camden got a new camelbak and he has been begging to go one a hike. So this weekend we went to Donut Falls
He's getting way too big! By the end of 3 miles I was dying! |
He has been wearing this float around the house for a week |
Wes took this picture during Sunday school. One more month until nursery! |

I love, love, love your posts. Sometimes I just pull up pictures of the boys for a smile. They are so fun.
