more summer highlights (+lost tooth)

We haven't been out and about this summer as much as I would like to have (due to a freak accident) so we are still on summer vacation status and plan on starting back after Labor Day.

But the kids have really been troopers and grown closer to each other like never before. They have been loving their free play time indoors though we are slowly getting back to our normal rhythm and trying to spend more time out doors than we have been during the day. Share a few (okay maybe more than a few) of their recent summer highlights.

Prime lost his first tooth (we think he swallowed it) while we were eating at restaurant so no visit from the tooth fairy.

Prime loves to find Waldo and knows how to ask for help. Even though he doesn't always find it, he keeps on coming back to try again.


scenes from summer fun night: waiting for the marshmallow to drop from the sky

Putting math skills to work: counting up marshmallows
Getting the "swing": Prime is so happy that he figured out how to swing himself (direct benefit of big sister)


Prime caught the chicken in the "chicken race" despite not really wanting to but the prize of candy bar was so tempting.

Prime loves to feed the animals and fed them for a long time while his friends all ran off . He is also getting protective about who can take his pictures, apparently only mommy and daddy has that special privilege.


We saw a green stink bug on our morning walk and Prime took him home. But alas, he got peed/pooped by it twice. He was not happy about that. ;-) This bugs' flying skill really surprised us.
