Wooden Train along a Walking Trail

General Conference Activities

Bingo and activity packets with the rewards of tokens (for completed activities and bingos) to buy things in the family store = quiet and decently attentive kids!

Magnet Fun!

We've been having fun building lots of different things with our magnet set, such dinosaurs, spaceships, and modern interpretive art. 😆 Andrew proudly announced on Sunday that he built a temple all by himself.

Popsicle Stick Shenanigans

Gabe having fun post-popsicle consumption!

Princess Leia Hair at Church!

Squinty due to the bright sun, but a beautiful girl who was thrilled with her hair!

Racing Plasma Cars!

We picked up two plasma cars at yard sales and enjoy taking them to the park. The paved pathway there has a downhill portion, and we have a lot of fun racing down it!

Reading the Comics!

Summer Fun!

Captain America! In a swim diaper from running on the sprinklers!

Potty Training!

Naomi's School Bus

After Gabe and Andrew get on their school bus each morning, we have about 20 to 30 minutes before Naomi gets on her bus. It's usually some fun time where we played piano duets and Peter comes downstairs to give good morning hugs. They both love to wait together on the front porch while watching for the school bus.

Look-alikes!

I don't normally see family resemblances. But when I looked at the three boys on the couch today, their faces looked all so similar!

Perhaps it was the fresh haircuts eliminating the lighter coarseness of Gabe's hair vs. the darker curliness of Andrew's hair vs. Peter's softer, finer fluff.
Or the lack of distracting clothing.

Or their faces being angled similarly.

Regardless, for once I saw why people know they are brothers without asking!

Playing Martian Dice!

First Day of School!

...and Mommy did so many errands that Peter was completely wiped out by mid-day!!

Reading Marvel Stories with Dad!

Andrew loves having superhero stories read to him. The promise of a story sure speeds up the completion of his chores!!

Birthday Lunch!

Naomi very much wanted to take me out to eat for my birthday. She had saved up some money and we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch. It was super fun, and super thoughtful!

Dentist Visit for 4!

Naomi and HER Georgia Friend!

Library Playground!

While Naomi participated in Camp Half-Blood (inspired by the Percy Jackson books), the boys played on the playground. The clouds rolled in and we had some impressive thunder, but they stayed out there until the raindrops were really coming down!

Peter & His Georgia Friends!

Happy Playing Together
