Bubby's Been Busy

July has been a busy month around our house. I thought the summer was going to begin to drag at this point, but we seem to constanly come up with ways to keep ourselves occupied. Here are some random shots from the last couple weeks. Our now very mobile and no so little guy is in the middle of everything!

                                Big sister's new magnet board is equally entertaining for Levi. This was a neat idea my sister passed on....its an oil drip pan from wal-mart that we spray painted....its great for learning to spell and read this year!

                                 Daddy helping the children keep up with our summer reading program....

                                Daddy teaching Levi how to put money in the bank.

                                             Levi was fascinated with the task.

                                            Rebecca dressed as a cow for cow appreciation day.

                                            Our small calf wasn't so thrilled with his suit in the summer heat.

                                            Juices boxes solve all their problems at this age!

                                             A face full of chicken nugget isn't bad for stopping a meltdown either.

                                             I've been caught! Rebecca's desk is full of all sorts of off limit goodies!

                                           He's pretty proud of his quick work this time. I had JUST got him out of the bath and he dashed off naked....so I finished up Rebecca's bath before tracking him down....lesson learned.

                                        You gotta love this shot, and he deserves it for being so ornery!

                                Some well earned sleep time.

Water Main Break...Again

Our second water main break in eight days. The draught has been rough on the 55 year old pipes in our neighborhood. The first break was mych smaller, but they had to tear out the last 3-4 feet of our driveway. Today was the first day we could actually drive on the new concrete and this morning our new gusher began. What a morning!

Fancy Nancy Tea Party

This afternoon the library on the west side of town hosted a Fancy Nancy tea party for the preschool crowd. If you don't know Fancy Nancy she is the star of a series of children's books. She is all girl, love glamour, Paris, French words, and all big 'fancy' words. I love the books because they appeal to Rebecca's girly side and teach excellent vocabulary. Anyway, about thirty little girls, dressed to the nines, were at the library. They had a story, made fancy eye masks for sleeping in, played accesories realy race, decorated cookies, and drank pink lemonade. It was really, really well done and adorable! I can't wait to go again next year!

                                            Simple, but cute decorations.

                                            Don't know what were doing, but I'm happy!

                                    Her sleeping mask

                                              The dudes hung out by the window.

                                              I loved that they had placecards!

                                              Yeah, he's going to hate me for this one!

                                             Very into her project, I think she had a cup of icing on that cookie!
