Summer Playing

We have been enjoying our summer here at the Elder household.  Friends over for dinner and playtime.

Microwave s'mores, the rain can't stop us!

Some messy painting/water play on a hot day!  It has been a long time since Noah and I have been able to do this.  Get out an old shower curtain and squirt on some washable paints and let the kiddos go to town; brushes, squirt bottles of water.

Noah and I bought these water beads, they are for decorating, but you soak in water over night and they are these gel like beads that are really fun to play in.  Levi even got to play for a bit, we buried his toes.  A friend directed me to this new blog, which is right up my ally, check it out.  Play At Home Mom

I love, love, love this pic of Noah playing in his sand/water table!

Everyone getting in a little tummy time!

We FINALLY put our sandbox in and Noah LOVES it!  Thanks to my sweet hubby for getting it done, and it looking awesome.

 And little Levi's expressions, starting to focus in on us, and cubby smiles (which are not the best pictures, one day I will get a good pic, I am determined)

 Daddy's crazy hair dos, poor kid is defenseless!

Sleepy smiles (sorry the pic is fuzzy)

He's kind of adorable...

And so the summer begins!

This summer I am going to hang out with my boys and make the most of our days; water fun, story times, trips and adventures.  I will try to keep you all in the loop.

I am joining Mary in a little (but hopefully a lot) of this

And I think I am going to join Amanda with a little bit of this of here

Hope you all have a glorious summer!
