we have this list, you see.
it works out perfectly.
we never have "nothing" to do.
but sometimes it becomes a pain.
like, when you are in the middle of cleaning your disgustingly dirty house filled with construction workers on a 110 degree day
and you kids say to you "mom, we need to build a volcano."
but mostly it is fun.
and it makes our days full of little memories.
here are some pictures of us checking off our bucket list.
we learned about volcanoes, particularly mount vesuvius.
then we made one our of clay (it is much neater than paper mache if you are having the kids do it alone!)
we went to a fourth of july party in which elias disappeared and came back looking like this.
yuck.
his face was stained red the next day.
oh, and his body is still covered in patriotic tattoos.
awaiting the eruption
happiness.
the museum of life and science.
this bear was seriously cute.
and i am not an animal lover.
i could have sat and watched him for hours.
playing with shaving cream got a little out of control.
she does have panties on.
and shoes.
pullen patk. could they be any cuter?
birthday girl!
birthday lunch.
playing in the rain.
end of season swim meet!
friends!
we went for our longest hike as a family. two hours of walking with NO complaining.
it rocked and made for a great sunday that ended with ice cream at a southern season.
