Date with L

This week everyone is gone in the morning except for L and I. Today he took me out on a date.  We went for an early lunch at a frozen yogurt place.  So fun hanging with this handsome guy.  

He got the really big cup since he was paying!

The boys are back

We picked the boys up today!  I was so excited to have them back.  Great news... L accepted Christ at camp!! PTL. I am so excited for the big news.  

On another note, I picked up the boys today!   I had forgotten how exhausting it can be with 4 kids.  All of them wanted my attention at one time.  I love how things went right back to normal.  I am exhausted today for sure.  Happily exhausted!

We decided to tackle some crafts today since the boys were so tired.  So here they are...survival bracelets and rubber band bracelets.

Supplies ....check

We did it!

Almost done

Say Mooooo

Today we made cow shirts for Chik fil a day.  My plan was to only make the shirts but the girls had a different idea.   By the time we were done, we had shirts, tails, masks and bells.  We had a lot of fun and the employees enjoyed out masks.  I enjoyed not having to pay for dinner. 

K and her friend

Now on to the masks.

We had lots of fun!

And then there was one

After all these years, we are down to one- child that is.  I guess this is how it will feel when everyone is off at college...but one.  She was very sad without her other half,K.  They are so close in age neither one remembers anytime without the other.  Irish twins.  I still had a good night with only one.  I got to have some special one on one time.  Love her. 

Beach Day

We packed up and headed to the beach!  We built lots of sand castles and collected shells.  Dad and the kids saw fish as big as the boogie board.  K "found" a hermit crab when it pinched her foot.  Dad actually caught it.  It looked like rain but the wind blew it around us.  A great day with the whole family!

Packed up and ready to go

Of course a day at the beach is not complete without a snack!

Summer Camp

I drop the boys and their friends this morning at camp.  They were so excited to go back to camp!  I am excited to have the week to spend with the girls! 

The claw machine

So today we went to a Mexican restaurant that ha a claw machine.  The boys took a turn at it.  L and W won stuffed animals.  The best prize of the day was the "GCU" hat, our friend J won.  What is GCU?  We have no idea 

Swimming in the rain...again

It is still raining!  It is amazing how long it has been raining.  The boys thought they would try the pool in the rain.  

The boys on the side had gotten a little cold.  

Swimming in the Rain

Since it has not stopped raining for days, we were all going stir crazy.  It did lighten up so out the door we went. The kids had a great swim in the lake in the rain.  

Happy 4th of July!

Our traditional decorate the dock contest has been postponed for this year.  We did all put on our 4th of July tie die shirts.    It has been a rainy, rainy day but we are still enjoying our family and celebrating our freedoms.   

Spa day

It has been raining non stop since we got up this morning.  We decided to use some time having a spa day.   We soaked our feet, massaged them with lotion and painted our nails.   We had lots of fun!
