Crazy Kids

My crazy kids found these boxes in the garage and made them into dog beds. They went around that night pretending to be dogs. They really wanted to sleep in them, but Derek and I told them they would not be comfortable for sleeping all night. They sure had fun though!

Here they are pretending to be asleep.


We walked away from them and found Bruster checking them out!


The kids are attending VBS at another church in town this week and I have been enjoying running some errands without them in tow during the mornings. I heard about the Asian market in town and went to check it out. I got all of this for $13, they have the best prices around on produce.


Books A Million is challenging kids to read all the Magic Tree House books this summer. If you complete the challenge you get a Magic Tree House tote bag. Ethan is up for the challenge and boy do we have our work cut out for us! Mr. Menard, his former teacher (so sad to write that we loved him so much), is letting us borrow some of the ones that Ethan has not read for the summer. While the kids were at VBS, I went to the library and checked out the taller stack of research guides that go along with some of the books. He was able to count ones that he has previously read, but we still have a long way to go. Anything to encourage him to read is good with me. Last night while Derek was at rehearsal and Aubrey was already asleep Ethan and I hung out on the couch reading out books. He is now what I would classify as a reader. A few of the words are still hard for him, but he can pass the test after he reads the book to earn his passport stamp for the contest. He sure is growing up on me, but I love it.
