Summer Fun Week 4

Make It Monday

We had two great projects today.  

The boys made some very special get-well cards for Doug and Grandma Peg.

 Next, we made lava lamps from a kit given to the boys on their birthday.

Take A Trip Tuesday

Today we drove up to Huntersville to visit Discovery Place Kids.  It was so busy when we first arrived, that we left for a couple hours and went shopping for school shoes, and then went back to the museum. When we got back, things had quieted down significantly and we enjoyed a fun afternoon.

 Wet and Wild Wednesday

Today was wet and it was wild but not the way I had planned.  

The rain squashed our swimming plans so we got hair cuts and met friends for lunch.

 We then had some "wild games" of uno attack...

 and got ready for the 4th of July.

 

 We ended with a wild night - a campout in Patrick and Finnegan's room!

All of the boys brought their sleeping bags, we popped the tents, grabbed lots of flashlights, and the boys began their hours of non-sleep silliness.

 

Thursday, July 4th

Patrick and Finnegan's 6th Birthday

After birthday breakfast, 

we put on our red, white and blue and met our friends at the Waxhaw Parade

Our wagon was decked out, as were the boys.
And, we brought snacks and goodies for all the kids.

 

Patriotic Friends

 

 

After the parade, we hit the pool....

and then Nannie and Pop Pop came over for a cookout, cake and Wii Bowling!

We ended the special day with fireworks.
The boys were in their PJs and we drove around the area and found fantastic light shows.

Happy Birthday Patrick, Finnegan and America!

Fun with Friends Friday

We spent the morning swimming with Drew and Evan today.  

Love those handsome boys and all their muscles!!
