 Sunday

A nice slow start to our week.  We spent our morning playing outside before it got too hot out.  The boys drew pictures with chalk and Ellie traced more letters.  We spent more time outside in the evening.    

James is super snuggly and I love getting snuggles from him!

Handsome boys with their new hair!




Braxton wore these sunglasses for several minutes.  

Monday

On Tuesday Ellie woke up asking if the parks were open. So after breakfast the kids and I walked up to the mega park. We stayed there for about 20 minutes until more people showed up and we headed to another park and played for another 40 minutes. I was struck with how much the boys have grown since we were last at the mega park almost 6 months ago. Last time the boys wouldn’t even go down the big third level slides and today James ran up to the top and flew down the slide on his belly!  Will also ran and jumped up onto a spinning chair. I don’t know how they are getting so big and grown up. Benjamin is enjoying the park more and more. He liked going down the slide a lot.  













Tuesday 

Tuesday was Will and James last day of "summer"  We spent the day playing and took another trip to the mega park.  The weather was cold and foggy and I figured with that kind of weather there might not be too many people there and I was right we had the park to ourselves for about 45 minutes!  We spent an hour at the park.  Benjamin enjoyed the slide and swings again.  Benjamin kept trying to lick the poles at the playground and he knew I didn't want him to so he'd look at me laugh and then lean in to try and lick it waiting for me to tell him "NO, YUCK!"







Wednesday

It was a big day for Will and James on Wednesday, that had their first day of school!  I was pretty impressed with myself we were able to get up, get dressed, take pictures and make it to school on time.  (We were in the front middle of the drop off line!).  Ellie, Benjamin and I hung out at home while they were in school.  Ellie wanted to do a school work book I got for her so we did a few pages, she was so proud of herself!  

Why do they look so big?!?





My little ninjas, William insisted on taking his picture with his hood up and mask on.

Having fun on their first day!





Thursday

We were back to a day at home on Thursday.  We made a trip to another park today, the snail park as the kids call it.  The boys took turns taking pictures with my phone.  

These are the pictures the boys took!




Benjamin is started to develop a love for slides at the park!  I'm thrilled that the playground have reopened. 



Friday

The boys had their second day of school of Friday.  Our morning routine went pretty well again, but we were closer to the end of the line at drop off and I was definitely the last in line at pick up.  Ellie and I played memory while the boys were in school and we moved the boys rug from their room to the family/playrrom because the boys didn't want it in their room anymore.  Its making the family room feel cozy.  After nap and quiet time we had movie night.  We watched "Brave" and enjoyed some popcorn.   

Ellie was excited that she made a match!


Testing out his suspenders for his birthday pictures

He's just too cute!

Already to watch the movie with popcorn.

Loving his daddy!  Benjamin has been loving his daddy a lot lately, chasing him down the hallway, making eyes at him and trying to pull up on the bed saying "dada".  


Another one snuggling up with Daddy.  Ellie is a big daddy's girl!

Saturday

We ended our week with a quiet day at home.  The air quality is too bad to play outside so we had to find a way to entertain ourselves inside all day long.  The morning was spent playing, the afternoon was spent cuddling a baby who didn't want to nap and the evening was spent playing games after dinner.  We finished dinner early so I asked the boys if they wanted to play and they picked the pie face game.  Its always fun, Ellie doesn't like the game, but Benjamin wanted to get involved and tried to steal the whipped cream with spoon.  





Ellie loves Doc McStuffins and she will check anything that stays still long enough and that included the dogs on Saturday. 

Ended our day with family game time.  Benjamin wanted to join in by stealing the whipped cream.
