This Week

We've had a very busy week, all fun things, and our weekend is full too. Better get some down time tomorrow. 

I made the boys charts of five tasks to complete before they can have screen time. I got the idea from some blog I came across on Pinterest. I don't care how fast or slow they accomplish them, or if they try at all. But if they want screen time, it has to be completed. 
The Five Tasks
• Tidy bedroom and living room
• Read books
• Be creative
• Play outside (or downstairs if bad weather)
• Ask mom and dad how you can help
Trying to be diligent with tummy time. 
The big boys had an elaborate car wash game that lasted a long time one morning. 
Post bath hair and happiness. 
Cousin day! My mom keeps each grandkid about a week in the summers, so I've been snagging them from her for a day. It's been working really well since I'm not very good at overnights. 
So darn cute. We were talking about his favorite colors and I asked him about his John Deere shirt that says "My favorite color is dirt!". Thomas said Nicholas thinks dirt is a color, to which Nicholas replied, "This is my everybody loves trains shirt!" Ummmm....ok!
Augustine thought it was funny when I said Elias wore his tie because he had a meeting. Then we started thinking up what meetings Elias would go to. 
More car wash, but see my fresh mulch?! The boys and Logan did that on Father's Day. Too orange -we have enough of that already- but still makes it look nicer. 
These to play so well. 
The big boys talk really sweetly to Elias and get HUGE smiles from him. Augustine was sure he saw two white teeth in there...
Never lasts more than 5 minutes. *sigh*
Logan got the first real giggle!
Msgr. was jammin' on his guitar and harmonica one evening by himself. I love our 'hood. See him there just above the fence to the right?
He doesn't sleep like this very often. So cute.
