a bed for a sister




The boys got Grace's bed all ready today. They had such fun taking pictures. They decided the ladybug on the floor is saving her spot. Grace will sit there when we get her home for the next picture! It was the boy's idea. I thought it was so sweet.

animal day at the library




Today was our favorite day of the summer library program. We seriously find out when Bob Tartar will be bringing his program each summer when we get the program calendar and we plan all other summer events around it. We do not miss Bob Tartar and his wonderfully cool creatures! If you ever get a chance to check out one of his programs, do it!! He is such a great presenter. He commands the audience no matter what the age! He has a great rapport with the kids. They truly listen to him. He is SO knowledgeable. Both of my boys love seeing him and whatever cool animals he will brings. Ethan wants to have a job like him when he grows up. This year he had a kangaroo. I GOT TO PET AND FEED THE KANGAROO!! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so thankful of trip to China did not take place until after we got our time in with Bob and his buddies!!

barnes and noble summer reading

The boys earned free books at Barnes and Noble by reading 8 books. We had fun choosing a free book. Ethan thought he was in Heaven being in a building filled with so many books. I literally had to drag him out. He could have stayed there for the entire day reading. We stayed over 2 hours. He kept telling me he was not ready to leave yet. Finally, Jon Jon and I were starving and it was time to go see Ma and Pa.
