Everyday Life Lately

Lately we've had some fun days and busy days with a few lazy not enough to do days mixed in. Here's a peek into what I've captured the past few days...

 

Last week we pulled out the sidewalk chalk again. It's always a big hit. The sweltering late afternoon heat, not so much. (Which is what led to so many water days.)

 

We had to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart. I definitely prefer Target but when I need something fast Wal-Mart is closer so Wal-Mart it is.

 

We conducted our second craft of the summer last week. It was actually more like an experiment. I'm not sure whether it was totally successful or not though. We did fireworks in a jar. The "fireworks" only lasted 5 seconds though. Oh well. At least the boys were entertained.

 

Since the "fireworks" thing was over in about 30 seconds we decided to make an ocean in a bottle. Even Austin could participate. Yay! We put in small seashells, water, and blue food coloring.

 

Success! Austin's fake smile kills me. SO funny and SO cute. At least to his mama. 

We enjoyed our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese of the summer. We went nice and early and moved out as soon as the crowds came in. Perfection.

 

My big boy was super brave and rode in the huge monster truck. The past few times we've been he's wanted no part of it. He held on tight this time and did great.

 

This was the only ride Austin rode (with it "going") and was okay with. He didn't mind sitting on the rides but he did NOT want them moving. Haha!

 

Terrell won Braves tickets on the radio for last Thursday night!! We enjoyed our date night and a great game. Huge thanks to Nana and Pops for coming over and spending a late night with the kiddos!

 

Saturday night while I attended the wedding of one of my bestie's from high school, Terrell and the boys went to Garrison's baseball party. We are so thankful for the great season and first experience he had!

 

My littlest man learned how to drive AND steer Mater around all by himself this week! He is so cute driving all over the house. And if he ever gets stuck, big brother is right there to help out. =)

 

Last night as an anniversary treat we went out for ice cream after supper. Austin sampled everyone's and Garrison is always great about sharing with him.

Now we're getting ready for Father's Day shopping and our weekend trip to Savannah! Yay!!
