As much as we love Summer adventures and outings, sometimes we also love being home.
Alison pulled out her microscope that hasn't been used much since she got it for her birthday, and she and her brothers enjoyed a few days being scientists.
After watching "Coco" Ali and Eli made an ofrenda honoring Grandpa Eldredge and Grandpa Blau.
We pulled out the play dough for the first time in a long time, and clearly for the first time in Jake's memory because he LOVED it and kept saying, "Much fun with play dough, Mommy! Thank you!
Alison and Logan have been taking piano for about a year and have gotten quite good. Listening to them has made me want to play again, so I've been trying a few of their easy pieces (from a year ago!) and Ali has enjoyed being my "piano teacher" whenever I have questions for her.
There has also been much drawing by all the kids. The older three even had a drawing class they went to once a week for a month (not that they need much instruction: they're all naturals in my opinion!)
Jake does this silly thing where he kneels on someones feet that Eli calls, "Praising to my feet." Here is pictorial proof.
I convinced a few kids to do puzzles with me a few times.

What wonderful fun! They will have such great memories of summer as kids!
I love when they rediscover their old toys. We used to keep half of their toys in a box up in their closet, and then 'change toys' every 2-3 months. It was like seeing old friends again. It was at their wish, not punishment, fewer toys to pick up and they were more fun that way.
