Another Summer Week...

A few highlights of our past week or so...

The other day when I asked Zane if he wanted to go on a bike ride, he told me "Sorry, but I don't have time. I have too much homework." He is so funny and has been sitting for super long periods of time working on "projects." His imagination helps him think of a million different things to create and work on. I bought him this lined paper to help him start to form his letters better. And of course he's using a Spiderman pencil.
One thing he's worked really hard on lately is stringing buttons onto thread with a needle to make necklaces and bracelets for all his friends and family. He always has someone in mind when he's creating something and thoughtfully picks out certain buttons or other things for them that he thinks they'll like.
We got to have have park time with our Monument play group friends...
We haven't seen them in a while and we were all excited to play together again.




We also drove down to my friend Tammy's house to spend the day with her and her sweet girls, Abhi and Ella. We let them have dessert in their underwear in the backyard. They loved it.

More artwork -
It's amazing how just putting out some paint and different tools (sponges, brushes, cups, etc) can engage these two for so long. In this picture, Zane was painting a treasure map.
Zane's caterpillar and Emmy's creation - he's getting better at writing his name.
More stickers and art stuff. She was practicing her cutting.
Buddies...


Today, we went to another park near out house that they both like. They played together the whole time and got along great. Zane helped Emmy get up onto things when she was struggling, they slid down slides at the same time, he told her to go up the stairs when she was trying to climb something too hard, she asked him to hold her hat when it fell off, etc.

They were pretending that they were fishing with sticks.

Love this picture!!
