Brahm started the week with a new haircut. I was so NOT excited about buzzing his hair! He had beautiful hair that laid well!!!! But Joel and Mr. Buzzy got the job done, and and it looks great! Brahm even sat perfectly still for the whole thing!
The kids did a bunch of exploring this week. They packed backpacks, water bottles, purses, and Oliver even packed a large cardboard fold-out bed....then, off they went! Attached at the hip with a bungee, they trekked all around the yard for hours. And every time they'd leave, Lily would say, "There's adventure out there!" and give me a double-high-five! (Word on the street is this came from their missions time at VBS...)
We found out this week that Brahm loves sweet corn....
...and the pool. He climbs to the highest step on our little ladder and JUMPS in, often times going all the way under. But in his little floatie, he just bounces right back up with a huge grin on his face! But WOW, I can't take my eyes off of him!
Summer School. The kids love working on school stuff, so most mornings we spend a few minutes on "school". Even Brahm joined the fun this time!
Finally, the kids got the great idea Thursday to hold a garage sale. They gathered 10-15 items that they didn't want, priced them (anywhere from $2-15), and then stood behind the van hoping for customers. When someone WOULD drive by, they'd blow their whistle and shake their money bag at them. I should add here that we live on a cul-de-sac...so 2 people drove by. :-)
When business wasn't as good as they had hoped, it was a good chance for Joel to teach them basics of economics...he said, "You have to have stuff people want, have to have it priced right, and people have to know about your sale." After considering his words, they went inside and brought out a toy marked "FREE" to lure the masses....
Things are never dull around here!
