Summer Boredom

My new kitchen chairs came last week, so of course we built a really cool fort.It got bigger and better and more decorated as the afternoon progressed. Sadly it had to be disposed of after many territorial arguments and "Connor the Destructo Boy" got too close. We only ordered 4 chairs (these are the chairs that actually are supposed to go with the table from Sam's Club...and I love them). Then we got a bench at Ikea that will easily seat 3 people. I was so happy with how well the bench matched. We have major issues with Zach at the dinner table not leaning over and spilling. Now that he's on the bench there is nothing for him to lean back on and I LOVE it!
When the kids get bored send them outside and turn on the hose. Simple as that.
Popsicles are nice too.
I wasn't feeling so great today and so the kids were on their own for entertainment most of the day. All of a sudden I heard them all giggling tons and that's usually not a good thing. But this is what I found and I couldn't help laughing myself. These are felt faces that Grandma gave us a while back. They will now be used on more than just the flannelboard.

Connor
Savannah made sure to find the mouth with braces for Jacob.
Zach has been having fun watching his little garden grow, except for the fact that there are usually bugs nearby.

I have had those faces for years and would like to find some more. Did your Mom buy those recently? I guess I should ask her. They are so much fun and we have lost many pieces.
