Campers

The little campers have been enjoying their week.

Finn is making various 3D shapes in his "Math Rocks" camp.

He saw his Kindergarten teacher, Miss English, at camp. He was a bit nervous because he didn't know anyone but everything turned out ok :)

This is Seamus with Neptune around his neck. He also was happy to report that he drank Tang.

Happy Birthday Finn T.!

Happy 6th Birthday to our Finn T.!

We enjoyed tasty birthday cake "balls" thanks to Aunt Jenny.

Serenaded by Uncle Sean.

Even got to lick the batter...

And ended the day with his 14th "Kiddie Cocktail" and a game of cards.

Despite losing, Finn somehow ended up making $4.00.

Make Believe

Saoirse has recently reached my most favorite developmental stage. The Land of Make Believe. The Fuzz will sit in the front room for 30 minutes at a time putting baby to bed, reading her a book, singing "Twinkle Twinkle" to baby, arranging the house, putting "Daddy" in a chair and racing cars. It is hilarious to spy on her little world.

Hmmm...

There will be no shortage of photos of Seamus when he gets married and we need to throw a slide show together...

Snoozers

It's been a summer treat to get to fall asleep in our bed. It started out as a way to fall asleep in a nice cool spot -- they don't have a window unit in their room -- but now they just fall asleep there air conditioner or not. It is going to be hard to go back to the school schedule in just one short month!
