Summer Fun!

I know I say this often, I'm always saying how quickly time has gone by! I remember as a kid, the summer lasted FOREVER, and yet somehow here it is July! I actually saw back to school supplies on the shelves at Target and thought NO NOT YET!!! There is still so much fun to be had! So let's recap the 4th of July...

We headed out to Camp Ken & Linda's for some pool time and a cookout! Then Alex's Buddy Rick brought a TON of fireworksthis part was not so fun for me! I was a nervous WRECK watching them light the fireworks!!! But the kids had Fun! I love this picture of Garrett & Alex. What could be more fun for a 10 & 11 year old boy than to set stuff on fire and watch it explode! They even put some toy tanks in the mix & had a blast checking it out after it blew up! I wouldn't let the little one very close to the "BLAST ZONE" but they got to play "The Clean up Crew" and still felt like they were part of the action!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The weather must've been waiting for July 1st, because it's been FREAKING HOT every day this week! We've been going to the pool, but It was getting a little routine so to mix it up and to help water the flowers I let the kids fill these BIG buckets that I got at Walmart! Just like a Baby pool, except you can get wet up to your neck and everyone gets their own! (I'm sick of the fighting about sharing! Grrr) Then in another attempt to keep them on their toes.... you just never know what Mom's gonna spring on ya next.... I found this idea from another blog.... dry spaghetti through hot dogs! Then you boil them, throw in some frozen veggies while your at it and then toss with butter or alfredo or whatever! The kids CRACKED up at this one! Hope your having a GREAT summer and staying safe!
