Projects

 We have been having a lot of fun doing some fun projects at home.
 We have been reading a few books that feature pictures made out of items.  Hunter created this picture to describe himself.  He was so cute talking about each piece of the picture and how it described himself.  I have an adorable video that he describes the picture with and I love it but couldn't get it to download.
 
We also made some flubber.  Hunter was amazed how this came together and loved the feel of it.
Cameron and Hunter had so much fun playing with it.  Hunter made a flubber tongue and Cameron liked making me flubber dinner.
 Making jellyfish puppets.
Do-a-dot art.
These two love getting creative and I love watching them play.

Sludge Sand and Swimming

We spent the morning at the pool by our house.  The boys call it the waterpark and they love it.  There is a lazy river, whirlpool, and slides.  Cameron was done swimming pretty quick and just wanted to cuddle in a towel on my lap while Hunter swam for nearly another hour. 
When we got home the boys started looking at books.  They love reading so much.  Hunter is beginning to read and loves reading to Cameron.  We sat and read for over an hour and Cameron even sat through his first little chapter book.  When I read with them they cuddle up with me and I love it.
In the afternoon we decided to try to make some sludge sand.
 Pouring in all the silly ingredients.
 Hunter gives it a thumbs up.

 Mixing up the solution.
 The boys loved playing with the sludge.
Then they wanted to wash off the sludge.
 Splashing around.
 Hunter broke a cup and loved his new megaphone.
This is Cameron holding his megaphone.
These two are so much fun.  I love great days like todays.  These two are the cutest boys on the block.

Playing in the Sand

The boys love our sandbox and always want to play with their sand toys. 
They love building, measuring, and just getting dirty. 
 Then at naptime we decided to make some colored sand.  Hunter got a list of things to do each day during the summer to prepare him for kindergarten from his school.  He loves looking at his list and doing his task.  He is so excited for kindergarten.
 Measuring the salt to see which measuring cup has the most and the least.
 Then we added some food coloring.  I love Hunter's tongue out as he is rolling the color in.
He was amazed at the colors as they appeared.  Hunter loves his projects so much.

Gooey is Fun

We thought it would be fun to play around with some of the Super Hero goo that Hunter got for his birthday.  The boys were so excited for the goo.  I think it is so funny how boys love anything gooey or stinky or slimy. 
They loved the stinky oozy goo. 
We also went to the park to feed the ducks. 
The boys love feeding the ducks, the birds, and the fish.
I love my days with these two. 
Bread fight.

I love how these adorable brothers love to hold hands all of the time.  They always talk about how they are best friend brothers and are always telling each other that the other is the best brother in the world.

Massive Cookies

My boys love books and they always get ideas from books.  We read a book about Wild Boars making massive cookies and the book had a recipe.  The boys have been asking to make massive cookies ever since. 
 We decided it would be fun to make massive cookies today.  Decorating the cookies with the boys initials.
 The end product.  They were bigger than I expected, but that didn't stop the boys.  Bigger than their heads.
 The were so excited to try the cookies and with the help of mom and dad the cookies were gone in no time.  Patrick said one of the best things about being a parent is doing things with your kids that you were never allowed to do.  Being parents to these two is the best.  They are so much fun.

Fun Friday

Today was a crazy day and because my phone completely broke I have no pictures. 
We went to lunch with my Aunt the Judge.  The boys are totally obsessed with her, her courthouse, and her jail, because she puts all the bad guys away.  It is such a highlight for them to go see her at work.
Since we were out and about we spent a couple of hours playing around at the dinosaur museum.  The boys love the dinosaurs and now anytime we go to the park they dig for dinosaur bones or try to pan for gold.  It is hilarious how they get other kids to help them out.
Then we picked daddy up at work and headed to a family night out at the science museum.
Cameron going for a ride on the bike. 

The museum was empty so the boys loved exploring everywhere.    The boys love science and science projects and they loved having the run of the place.  We went out to dinner as a family and had some fun downtown.  It was a perfect night out together.

Hunter's Preschool Graduation

Our Mr. Adorable had his preschool graduation today.
 
He loved being in preschool with all of his friends. 
Five little boys were so fun and crazy.  He loved his teacher and she always was so patient with them no matter how crazy they got.
Dancing around and doing the hokey pokey.
Our big graduate!  I cannot believe this little guy is starting kindergarten in just a couple of months.  he is growing up so fast.
