L & L

It was just these two and me one morning, so we walked the zoo! It felt half way normal. 

He wore his mask for .01 second. Not surprised. 

Lewis has multiple ways to make Levi laugh. 

Levi watches a little tv these days. He always has a cuddle buddy. 

Lewis is quite patient with Levi. He plays with him, makes him laugh, reads to him, let’s Levi hang around his desk while he does school work, and helps him eat. Lewis wishes he was tall enough to lay Levi in the crib. It’s his dream to put Levi down for a nap. 

He’s a better multitasker than I am with a baby. He actually got his work done!

New Playdoh Ideas

Challenge: create a farm

Challenge: build a barn
















They played with their farms for three days!

On a different day, Elias made sausages on sticks. 

And then he needed a campfire to roast the sausages, of course. 

Fell A Tree

Jim & Coco invites us to their backyard for a tree felling show! We made it just in time to watch them chainsaw the last large branch, lower it with the ropes, and then take down the massive trunk. 

Logan has just brought home a book from the library about this very job, so the boys were even more intrigued than usual. They knew every step of the process and were predicting the workers’ next move. 

Preschool Work

I spent 45 min making a pumpkin play doh themed activities, and was interrupted every 5 min of those 45 min, only to be told “this isn’t really very fun, Mommy”. Humph. 

All ready to go to Grandma Preschool. 

Pandy was ordained. He is constantly accomplishing big things. 

He graded them by frosting coverage. 

Mrs. Lepper made us a glow in the dark sensory bin! It’s been the star activity all week...for every single boy. 



Logan signed all the boys up for Weekly Readers. Elias loves doing what the big boys do. 

Working Hard

Lewis loves his reading book for school. He reads ahead often and the stories make him laugh out loud. He is wearing his glasses more and more on his own accord. I’m guessing because he is reading more and more. 

Lewis has speech therapy twice a week on Zoom. He chose would-you-rather questions as a reward for completing work. They’re funny questions and he and his therapist have some laughs together. 

He’s doing so well this year! It’s fun to watch him thrive. 

Very Busy

“Very busy” is not something we’ve said much this year. But the toddler could say that. It’s a good thing I have some helpers all the time around here. 

He likes to scoop anything he can get on a spoon. 





He’s very good at using a pair of tongs. 

He usually finds a different tool from the play kitchen each morning to use in his cereal. 

And he likes the idea of being big enough to use pens, pencils, and markers. 

Grand Prize?!

Elias managed to win the GRAND PRIZE from the Lincoln City Library Summer Reading Program. What?!

He won a kids Fire tablet, a tote bag, a coffee cup he hates, a book light he loves, a small pad of sticky notes, and a pencil. We use the tablet for school related learning, which is a fun twist we weren’t expecting!
