Playing

Well, the summer is coming to a close. I am ready for it to be over. It has been fun, and I've enjoyed the kids, but I feel like we've run out of things to do. Some of the summer programs we were doing have finished and some have just gotten old. And I have run out of motivation to come up with new ideas.

Last week we went to my friends house and the kids did slip'n slide for a bit.

Went to the mall with the girls and played at the play area.

Went to the river to play.

Tanner made a shrunken head after he saw a cartoon with one.

This week

Not much happened this week. We finished up baseball. Thank goodness! That made for a long summer. We were at the fields 4 nights a week. 

Amber is such a good cheerleader for her brothers and sister.

We watched our friends kids twice this week. The little girl is 2 and loves my boys. She is small but tough. 

Ashlyn decided she wanted her hair cut one day, so we did it. Right then and there. I like learning how to cut hair on my kids. It was a simple cut. 

In Medford there is "Park and Play" where the city brings a bounce house out and has a craft for kids to do. It is at several parks during the week. We usually go to the one close to our house every week.

The other night we went black berry picking by our house. Amber rode a scooter.
