Puzzles

We do less puzzles around here than we were doing in March and April, but they're still a popular way to pass time.

Shopping Friend

I thought I'd have all the time in the world to shop by myself this school year-ha! I still have a fun little helper most times. Can you find him?

 

Helper

I asked him to go down and get some canned goods and I was super impressed with how many he was able to bring up at once!

Model Airplane

Logan bought this model airplane and made it all on his own! I love it when his passions meet: history, art, and building things.

 

Date

Now that some of the COVID restrictions are loosening up, Jason and I take advantage of our two amazing babysitters and sneak out for a date almost every weekend! It's so nice!

Summer Art

During the summer, I always have several things I require the kids to do before they can play their technology. Usually, one of those things is math, but this summer I just couldn't do that to us. So, instead I asked them to create art every day. All of them have pretty good drawing skills, and some of them practice that talent regularly, and some don't. It's been so fun to see the amazing things they have come up with. I've been so glad this was a new requirement!

Even Jake has been working on his drawings!

One Year

 We've had this puppy for a whole year! He's still a hit and he's a good boy. We love him.

P.S. Jake wore his hat like this for about a week and would only answer to the name Lampo (who is apparently a cat in a show he loves and that's how Lampo wears his hat).
