Monday Madness

The kids have started "collections" of leaves, feathers, rocks, etc.  Most afternoons they look for items to add to their stash.

Arts & Crafts

It's too hot outside, so we opted for some inside fun today!

painting butterfly fans

 

Later this afternoon, Reagan attended a birthday party for a friend at the movie theatre and then we went back to school shopping.  My big girl is going to be a 1st grader in 3 weeks!

Peach Smoothies

We love to visit the "peach man" every week and get fresh fruit.  Tonight, the kids decided they would like to make peach smoothies.



when did they get so big?

yummy!

Cooper liked it so well, it wanted two cups

Mermaids

Reagan learned how to draw mermaids this week.  She made our family into a mermaid family. 

The Sandidge Family as mermaids

(notice the girls have on bikinis ~ Reagan said this was to cover their "booties" to keep the fish from biting them, and so we would know which ones were girls)

Dinner and a Movie

We're still enjoying this warm  hot weather in little doses every day!

 Cool boy!

 after play time, I surprised the kids with dinner in the living room...

 ...and a movie

 What a life!!!



Monday Play

Since today was to be the coolest day this week (a high of only 96!), we took advantage of the shade and played outside after school/camp.

Reagan is learning how to hula hoop 

 Cooper drew a rainbow on the driveway

 Reagan drew a mermaid

Date Night

For the first time in many months, Greg and I had a date night!  We went to dinner, a movie (for the 1st time in 10 years) and the highlight of the night...grocery shopping sans kids!  It's amazing how quickly you can shop when you're by yourself!!



Wheels and Weeds

It's become a daily activity ~ riding bikes and scooters in the garage! 

 one word ~ mischevious

after riding bikes, they decided to tend to the yard and pick weeds!
