Week 28: Sunshine and rainbows

It's been another rainy week, with lots of playing and creativity around here. Drawing, painting, coloring, and building tents, along with all the tablet time they can get. Apparently it was Brown Monkey's birthday, who is a girl monkey if you didn't know. Lots of comedy and less drama, as everyone seemed to calm down a bit, and we're looking forward to what's planned for the rest of our summer. And blocking the TV with the pack 'n' play seems to be working! (the rainbow painting and the minecraft drawing are both by Gabe)

Week 27: Our own show

From last week we've got the boys and their artwork (photographed as part a school-papers clean-out session), our flowers are blooming, we had a playdate at the playground, Frank grilled porksteaks, we may have a bell pepper growing, and we put on our own fireworks show in the front yard. The boys were so excited, and Charlotte was sound asleep at that point. It was a good three-day weekend!
