Picture Catchup

4th of July food




Abigail is getting good at coloring and such


This shape workbook is way to easy, but it is a good for her to
practice reading instructions.

Alexander practicing making scrambled eggs by himself with supervision


Alexander's Discinian Flag

There is a lot of symbolism here.
But you will have to ask him to explain it all.



Aaron made a pasta dish for our anniversary

Andrew made the salad.
And we were very surprised to find sparkling grape juice at Walmart.
The kids really liked it.

Daddy gave Abigail fabric roses

They are her new favorite thing

So sweet!

Most of our reading challenge was for the kids to read the paper books we have here.
But Aaron did get new ebooks for his birthday, so they read some long ebooks as well.


Last day of the reading challenge


Reading challenge certificates:
Abigail earned a doll she got to pick out and the boys earned a cash prize
based on the number of pages they read and the bonus awards.




Boys daily squat challenge



This is how Alexander does squats

Time to throw out another pair of pants.
The brothers even agreed saying, a toddler could get lost in that hole. :)

We got sparklers to celabrate the 4th

We took all the kids up to the 5th floor roof to do them,
because it is more private and cool to do up so high.








We got some special star shaped ones they have here.
They are cool, but burn out fast.
