Will it break??


Parker is loving Scouts. He got to attend the Cub Scout Day Camp and he loved every minute of it. They had lots of fun things for him to do and he also passed off alot of things in his book. On his way to getting his wolf. Everyday he would come home and tell us all about it. His favorite things to do was the archery and the bb guns. On the last day they had an egg drop. He was so excited and that night he got to work. We did some research and found that peanut butter was a good idea. I was really skeptical but he was all about it. Even his dad was not sure about it, him being an engineer, he was really skeptical. Parker put the whole thing together while I was with the girls in the other room and so I really had no idea what he did. He was really anxious about the whole thing and wanted his egg to survive.






After we opened it we found out that the egg did not survive. But he packed it completely wrong. He did put it in peanut butter (Jeff was mad that he wasted a whole jar of peanut butter) and put it in a small shoe box and put a towel in there to help cushion it. (and I am now short a kitchen towel, was not happy about that). The problem was when he put the towel in there he did not wrap up the peanut butter jar at all. He rolled it and put it next to it. I think if he would have packed it differently it probably would have survived.

Our Summer

What we have been up to this summer.....

Lots and lots of bowling. Thank you AMF for free bowling.


Playing with kitties.  They are getting big...kids are getting sad because we are getting rid of them soon.

Swimming, swimming and more swimming!!At first Kate hated it...she would cry EVERY time I put her in the water. Oh but I kept at it and now she LOVES it and thinks she is all that, until she falls and I have to save her. Then she is a little confused.  Parker loves the slide at the local pool. He goes down that slide over and over.

Parker loves hanging out at the skate park, trying to break in his new blades. 
 
We also like the splash pad. Except Addison does not love that big bucket and runs away from it everytime. Best part about this...it's FREE.
This is my favorite spot ever....the ice!! When it is 108 degrees outside who wouldn't want to spend time watching Parker skate. It always feels so nice in there.
Movies, we got summer movie passes!! I spend most of my time in the hallway with Kate. Good thing it is cheap entertainment. She only makes it 45 minutes or so. Or until she is sick of popcorn and licorice.

Summer is almost half over, we are staying busy and we are having the time of our lives!!!
