Summer 2013 {Week 2}

This week was Vacation Bible School at our church, and you'd think that would be enough going on....but actually, we also had T-ball and swimming lessons, too!  What a FUN, crazy week!  Thankfully, the kids are doing remarkably well, considering all of the busyness...

We'll start with the VBS pictures--since that took up our mornings.  The theme this year was "Unleash the Power of God", and so we got to be SUPERHEROES all week!  

Here they are with their friend, Anna, in their t-shirts...

In fact, as the week went on, I started finding a strange masked man in unlikely places around our house...including on top of Joel's truck.  

But thankfully that masked man was kind and gentle enough to rescue my crying baby....

The last night, we had a program, and both the kids got up on stage!  Lily and her friends, Mason and Luke, were inseparable this week, but I think that was because she insisted on holding both of their hands "so they were always by me". 

 

One day, we had a big rainstorm, so the kids went out to play in the puddles...

Oliver also had his first T-ball game this week.  He is loving it!  Joel is helping coach, so that makes it even more fun.  

 Lily decided to get in on the dugout-action at one point....

In the afternoons, after naptime, the kids watch an episode of Little House on the Prairie.  We have been reading the books for the last few months, and now it is so fun to see them get into the show so much, too!

We also have been going to swimming lessons this week.  Thankfully, they've been taking them with their friends, Taylor and Mason--so that makes it even MORE fun!

I'm thinking that after this week--are going to appreciate some down time for a while!  And we're excited to get into a more normal summer routine, too.  Yay for summer!
