summer snapshot - week 4

i can't believe how fast these weeks are flying by.

last week, andrew was in a drama camp at school in the mornings.
he absolutely loved it.
he's got this hidden talent - acting.

i was blown away when i saw a play he was in at the end of the school year.
(still need to post on it).
on the last day of this camp, the kids put on a play - they did a great job...

here's what the other kids were up to while andrew was at drama camp:

playing games...the kids have done such a great job playing different ones with john.
uno seems to be his all time favorite this summer, but he's played many others with them.
fort building - they were determined to get lady in it and keep her in it for a very long time.
christopher mowed the front lawns at both the current and new house this week.
he never complains about mowing, and does a great job (first born = perfectionist:)
john and ella got in a good coloring session at the new house while he mowed.

ella took all the pictures out of my old outdated frames that have been up in the closet.
we donated the frames, and kept the pictures.
she has been so great with helping me clean things out and pack things up.
christopher and ella playing stratego.
christopher and john scootering out front and getting haircuts.
he and his friend going to an afternoon movie together -
first time i let him go with out me,
i stood there and watched them buy the popcorn (from a distance) and talked to several workers about it, lingering as long as i could - they had a lot of fun.
ella getting creative while making her sandwich - she likes to do that with food.
having friends over to sleepover- siblings, the boys were at their brothers' birthday party.
they decided to play 2 on 2 pool basketball - boys against girls, it was pretty funny,
they got really into it and there was a lot of laughing and monkeying around going on.
more busy running around and appointments for me with the remodel.
i feel like i have a full time job with it,
but the timing is great and it seems to be falling into place.
plus, it's literally about 3 minutes away from our current house,
so running over there all the time is easy.
