Covered in Dirt and Other Boy Stuff

Diggers, dump trucks, rocks, grills, sprinklers, Lego's, and DIRT. That is what much of our summer has consisted of! Mike's Aunt Susan let us borrow this very fun "excavator" as Joel calls it. I call it a ride on digger -- my three year old son more accurately calls it an excavator -- which it is (He also uses the word demolition correctly and on a regular basis! He loves big words). He has spent hours on this in the last couple of days and has loved every minute. He even shared once and let Conner play with it!
    

 

 Conner's favorite thing to do outside is clean the grill. It's not mommy's favorite -- but I let it go this time to get some pictures. He scrubs the grill and blows on the outside because we tell him it's hot. It's kinda cute too!

 

And if I don't call this brotherly love -- I don't know what it is! Getting your little brother to push you on the swing. And yes, it did eventually end with Conner down on the ground!

 

Fun in the Sun

So we really are alive at our house and we have been busy doing lots of things-- I just keep forgetting the camera and lots of times have no energy at the end of the day to go through what I have taken. However, today I got to play-- and it was fun! It has been hot (at least to me) and so we have spent a lot of time playing in the sprinklers outside. Today Joel insisted that he needed sunglasses to protect his eyes. So we got our sunglasses out of the car and played around. We also invited our cousin over and had snow cones! Mmm Mmm!
