Well, it’s not surprising. My “This week in pictures” has turned into “This month in pictures”. What have I been doing all this time!? We’ve kept up with about two hours (recess included) of pre-K school three to four days a week. Aaron is learning more and more sight words, slowly easing in phonics (actually he hates it), loving math and we read together a lot. Aaron is still very into baseball. He and daddy have been practicing his swing in the backyard most evenings while I get a little rest time. He has recently discovered that there is this other sport that has lots of numbers called…football! He’s currently learning all the teams for that sport as well. Eric and Grant are 19 months old and it shows. They are everywhere, into everything and every toy that one has the other immediately wants. But, they are also starting to play with each other more and I inadvertently trained them to give the other one the milk cup first (I give Eric milk, and he gives it to Grant, vice versa, it’s so cute!). And, oh yeah, we’re going to have another baby in about 6 weeks! Lance Arthur will be joining the family soon and our little routine will be thrown asunder. But, I’m looking forward to snuggling another chunky little baby soon!
And, since it’s officially the hottest summer in Texas history and I look like I swallowed a basketball, we spend a lot of time inside during the day, but as soon as dinner is over the boys head out to tear up the backyard. We can water our lawns on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so that has become our water play evenings. We usually finish them up with me making some frozen strawberry lemonades or as Aaron calls it “the yummy drink!”. We’ve actually had a fairly relaxed and homey summer, looking forward to the next chapter with cooler weather and another member of the family!
Enjoy the pictures of our August 2011!!
