Summer days continued

These lazy days are SO NICE.  I just love not having a long to-do list and places to be every day.   The children keep themselves busy- especially Tucker.  He is the best at finding things to do and being content.  I find him doing all types of projects.  He's obsessed with numbers and math right now and is always playing on the calculator or flashmaster.  He made tons of letters with these things yesterday-

The other day I found him doctoring one of Charlie's old scrapes from last week.  :)   He had TONS of ointment on Charlie and three bandaids.  They were so proud of themselves.  

I tried to take two off so he'd only have one band aid and Charlie said, "no tank you- I need all fwee."

Tuck's favorite place is the pool.  Today as I gave him his bathing suit he said, "This is a fine, quality suit indeed!"

But all this swimming gave Julia her first case of Swimmer's Ear.  It is painful.  She likes to rest in Mommy's bed when she gets her ear drops- and let me say she fights the ear drops- it's no fun.  

Charlie is over the high chair- he's totally a "big boy" now- just ask him.  :)

He actually was a HUGE helper today in the yard.  All the children helped us weed and spread pine straw.  

We love playing Apples to Apples Jr. as a family.  It is so much fun and everyone laughs the whole time.  We played tonight and as usual Tucker- who uses NO strategy whatsoever- won.  :)

I got just a few seconds of video from when Tucker was judge- my phone battery died.  He is so precious.  Tucker- you keep things light around here.  We are so grateful for our little court jester.
