Welcome Lazy Days

We are winding down and getting ready for school to start in a couple weeks. 

We are finally having some lazy days around the house, playdates, swim lessons and getting all their "stuff" for school. I am getting ready to head back to work, it will be my 3rd year at the preschool. It has gone by so fast. 

 The kids really enjoy archery and luckily we have a place for them to practice not far from our house. 

 We are spending more time in the backyard and found our first big praying mantis of the year which is always named, Buddy.

 Greta finished a Star Wars blanket for Fieldin made out of Jeff's old vintage sheet. Fieldin loves it(and the cat too) He loves getting cozy at night with his new blanket. 

 we haven't had time for much yard work this summer but as I was cutting back some plants and found a bunch of snail shells and this shell that is still forming. 

 spending time walking and hiking. You know you are on a long hike when you have to pull out a map. The kids did a 7 mile hike in a little over 2 hours. Pretty good! 

lazy evenings, taking walks, watching a movie or the kids favorites....family lego nights. We have been working through the Scooby Doo Lego sets. Everyone takes a turn and we build together. 

Kind of getting used to the laziness right before the craziness starts.
