3 Weeks...

Three weeks until school starts... how did that happen?!?  The past month has been flying by... we've been super busy with well LIFE!

Walker learned to fish with the help of his awesome troop leader...

Fishing oh my... a lesson in patience for sure for both parents and child!

We had a neighborhood garage sale which took up a few weeks organizing and purging... and what didn't sell we were able to donate to the church for their garage sale... yeah!

We took on the HUGE project of organizing Legos... once again!  Building sets to store them in bags...

During this time I may have said Strawberry Cheesecake was for dinner... mmm.

We have a good 4 feet section of raspberry bushes that just don't seem to do much year after year.  This year I said we were done with them... in the fall we will rip them out and try strawberry plants instead.  Well low and behold look what was spotted...

Since then we've been picking a bunch... like 24 last night!! Maybe we will have them for one more year after all.

The kiddos did a little manual labor... painting the sandbox.  Love having that pop of color in the backyard...

We might get one more year out of it with the kiddos but it's mostly Willow's sandbox.  She loves to dig down to the cool sand and lay in it...

I re-stained the deck... that was fun keeping dog and kiddos off it for a couple days!

Walker Jack decided on his own that he wanted spiky hair now... be still my heart... such a big kid!

Kiddos spent majority of the day yesterday at a water birthday party...

huge water slides with inner tubes...

And a mud pit... not so much fun though... HA!

In the next 3 weeks we will be cramming in as much summer vacation as possible... back to school shopping, a trip to SLC, more waterslides, the all you can eat ice cream event at the zoo, middle school orientation, a trip to I.F., Planes, Smurfs 2 and Sea of Monsters movies and endless hours of Minecraft marathons for 3 out of 4 McFarlands!
