Summer is moving slowly but surely here. Nick had a parade that he marched in today at summer school. He made his own fourth of July shirt and it was so cute. I'll have to take a picture of it later this week and add it to the blog. He has started swimming lessons and seems to be enjoying it as well. Alex is finally starting to talk a bit more and has many more words although most of them are still fairly difficult to understand. For the fourth we're planning to head to Fossil Rim and visit the wild animals. I'm hoping the boys will have a blast!

Is it time for school to start back up yet?

So here we are on day two of summer break and I am already ready for school to be back in session. Today consisted of a toy room in complete disarray, a tub full of everything except water (think books, makeup, shampoo, toys...), a kitchen that looked like a tornado blew through, half a bottle of shampoo on the carpet (rubbed in for good measure) and a half a tube of blue toothpaste rubbed into large areas of the upstairs carpet in addition to Alex's hair and mouth. *sigh* I'm just glad the day is about over. It's 5:15 and I'm finally sitting still long enough to write this before I have to get back off and start cooking dinner. The day never ends.

Needless to say, after all the events of today, I immediately went on a manhunt to find every vacation bible school and summer school available and I think we are just about filled up for the summer now starting next week. That in itself makes the pastures look a whole lot greener for the upcoming weeks. ;)

Here's a picture to share of Alex after his toothpaste debacle today:
