We spent this last week with the two older boys at bug camp in the mornings then at soccer camp in the evenings. It was a busy week, but lots of fun! We managed to check nature scavenger hunt and jello jigglers off our summer bucket list. Our chickens continue to be very entertaining... We got their run put together, but wanted to paint it before we put the roof on. "There is no way they will fly that high to get out" is what we thought... They immediately flew up to the roof and thought we had purchased them a new play area with the ladder and extra fencing leaning up against the other fence... I guess we should work on the roof... Our blueberries are in full bloom and the kids eat them faster than we can pick them, so I am thinking that another 100 or so bushes should do it if we want to actually freeze some for the winter;)
In other happenings, Noah has learned to confidently ride his bike and it is all he wants to do. If we can't find him he is either riding laps around our house or sitting inside the bushes with the chickens. James is on his way to becoming a master gardner and spends lots of time working on his fairy house or tending to the garden. James has also perfected his front flip into the water... why don't they make helmets for swimming?!?!? Ben has become very confident this summer in his swimming ability. He swims underwater, jumps in the deep end without fear and can now swim with no assistance, though he still prefers to have a bubble so that he can spend more time in the deep end. Audrey has grown-up a lot this summer and is becoming more and more independent with a matching personality. She can undress and mostly dress herself, buckle her own car seat and is potty trained to pee in the bushes outside. When we we can't find Audrey she is likely to have undressed herself to play in the sandbox... it is a consistent mystery as to why she has to be naked to play in there, but that is part of the beauty of being 2:)
