Summer time!!

                                       

It's summer time!! Yay!  Now we can all kill each other!  Well that's what my kids are thinking.  They seem to have this problem being together too much and yet are completely unwilling to ever take a break from each other!  

Anyway, we are having some fun though.  We've been to the gym, parks, and the pool.  Emma is set for dance camp for a week.  And we are looking forward to all our trips and Nanny camps (where my wonderful parents take one kid for a weekend).  

A lot of time has been spent at home.  We got the baby pool out this weekend and they all loved it.  The sprinkler was hit or miss.  We had our first Friday night at the waterpark.  They enjoy that so much, mostly because Daddy is there!  

Emma and Ryan are enjoying my new check/coin system.  They get check marks on the board for several things they do during the day (workbook, exercise, clean up, etc) and for that they earn their desserts and prizes from the prize bin (thank you Target $1 bins).  I do have to remind them often, but they are getting the hang of it and wanting to do some of it!  

Kris has been travelling a lot.  He was in China for a week then we went to MI for the weekend and then he traveled again.  We saw him this weekend, but he's gone again.  Thankfully we have some vacation time coming up!
