Just being a little boy

Okay then, let's recap.

In JUNE ( yes, JUNE! ), we did a bunch of stuff outdoors because the weather was nice, and the bugs were not out in force just yet...

ALAS, right now the temperature is in the 100s, and the gnats are eating us alive. *sigh*.

But back to happier outdoor memories....

I did post about playing in muddle puddles one other time, but we had a few pretty significant storms in June, and here's one where we even got your beach stuff and little sailboat out.

Yes, that there is a pretty big rut in our driveway. *sigh*

We brought ( and still bring ) Henry and Jasper for evening walks almost every day..

You went through a phase where you wanted to hold Henry's leash, which I gladly let you do.  Right now, you ask to walk by yourself, exerting your independence. *sigh*

Usually when we got back from walking the dogs, we would kick the soccer ball around for a few minutes before going in for a bath/shower.

You went through a phase as well, where you wanted to be the goalie each time :)

One day, I got some old Sobe bottles and socks, and we went outside to blow sudsy snakes out on the yard.  You thought that was super quaint and amusing.

 

And of course, it wouldn't be right NOT to put any suds on your head. :)

Check out the double barrel move. :)

Of course, we still read a lot - you like to have some of our library books in the car for when you are traveling down the road, and get me to rotate these out once in a while.

We haven't really taken much of a break as far as school work goes.  I mean, we are pretty flexible with the hours and whatnot, and as long as we are consistent and learning along, and having a good time at it, I'm happy.

Summer 2014

Over the next few days, I'll be posting about a few of the things  that we ( you ) did over the summer.

First off, we hadn't been over to the play area at the Mall for a while now.  We happened to be thatt way because we had an appointment to have the windshield and quarter panel glass on our car changed - yeah, due to the infamous hail storm.

They had done a major revamp, and changed out the old apparatus and put in new equipment.

 

 You couldn't wait to climb up and explore every new "animal" out there...

 

do lots of climbing and jumping,

work them hammy moves,

and the best part... making friends and playing with the other kids.

Cousins

We were over at Max and Jet's house about a week ago for Sabrina's birthday party.  But we know what it's really about... for the cousins to get together and play! lol :)

School

Here's an assortment of things that we did, some of which you had requested we study, like Dinosaurs and Bugs :)

This week we are learning about our Solar System and there will be more photos on that soon.

 

Scaling new heights

This is a picture of you climbing up the spiral slide backwards at the playground . We had stopped by there after shopping at h e b. And you did it all by yourself without any help from daddy. Woohoo !
