Insta Friday - on Monday

i am behind

we've been busy enjoying beautiful summer days and checking things off our summer bucket list

i will get caught up.... eventually but for now i am loving our crazy summer days filled with sunshine, friends, treats, and laughter

i am linking up with jeannett again this week for insta friday

here's a little glimpse at our week:

 we FINALLY made our first trip to the water park

the kids have been so anxious to go but the weather has not been cooperating

this day wasn't great for the water park... a little chilly for swimming for this mama but the kids loved it

it wasn't crowded so there were no lines for rides

a hawaiian ice is necessary to cap off a full day of swimming and going on rides

 sassy was just being sassy while eating her hawaiian ice

 our neighbors church held a soccer themed vbs program last week in the evenings

they had perfect weather for it

sunny, slight breeze, and not hot

my two little ones loved every minute of it

we had a rainy rainy day last saturday

i decided to take the kids to see mr. popper's penguins

it was super cute

did you notice who mauryn has in her arms?

here's a hint... baby addie had to come along to the movie

mauryn informed me that addie LOVES penguins so she had to see the movie

i am glad they didn't charge me admission for addie

she was very well behaved in the theater

her mother mauryn made sure of it

as you can see from the picture safety first

addie has her own car seat and was safely buckled in for the ride

one of her besties has glasses

i guess she was thinking she needed a pair too

 summer bucket list... yes!

 i have been in a bit of organization mode when it comes to our school room

we have been doing some rearranging and making some additions

i am so excited to finally have some white boards and a big chalkboard

now that we are in an actual room i can set up landon and mauryn's work boxes in a way that will be much more effective for them

 lance wanted s'more egg rolls on fathers day

as we were working on our assembly of the egg rolls i caught this little one sneaking some chocolate chips

she just couldn't wait

i tried my egg roll with white chocolate chips since i love all things white chocolate and it was divine. 

 one of the things on our summer bucket list was to make a PVC sprinkler

landon couldn't wait to get his hands on his dads drill

usually we hide it from him

he likes to drill holes in things like garbage cans

this activity was right up his alley

 the shoe racks we are using for our work boxes were white

i was fine with them being white

until i saw lindsey had painted hers cute colors

when i picking up sprinkler supplies i bought some spray paint

i was too lazy to take them apart so landon and i just worked with them set up

they turned out fine

i think i might now have a crush on spray paint

it was easy to use, dried fast, and my kids can help

 our dog harley is so patient

mauryn likes to pretend he is a horse about once a day

 sonic happy hour = happiness

 my kids think rolling down a hill is the bomb

 when landon was drilling for the sprinkler he got a little drill happy

we had to do a little do over with the sprinkler

we had the extra pvc pipe

landon asked for some pool noodles and turned the pipes into swords

thanks to his warrior camp experience he is a little obsessed with making swords

 we spent wednesday at a local splash park with some friends

it was hot 

standing under the dumping bucket was the perfect spot for these boys

 sprinkler in action over the slide

i love how many different ways the kids have put together the sprinkler

this is their favorite

they fly down and off the slide

 we attended a birthday party for this little guys mom

i finally gave up the little guy for a bit so my boy could get some snuggle time in

i love that he loves babies

landon spent a few hours a day last week in basketball camp

he was a little nervous going in on the first day but he loved camp

he is already asking to go back next year

how was your week? did you do anything fun?
