Summer Fun

We are having another excellent summer here in Massachusetts.  We have been doing lots of swimming at the beaches and pools, nature walks, going to the parks, and simply running and playing outside (oh, and eating more ice cream than I would like to admit).  We unfortunately missed strawberry picking season so we hope to pick blueberries/blackberries soon!  One of the downsides to living in our apartment is that I can't let you guys play outside while I work inside.  We could easily be out and about from sunrise to sunset here, taking advantage of the light while we have it, but since I actually have to get things done at home and cook meals here, we have to be home some of the time!  Here are a few pictures of some of our indoor summer activities:


LOTS of ball

more ball....love your serious ball player face here Bastian 

getting LOTS of use out of our pattern blocks once mom finally broke down and printed out the puzzle/activity sheets :)  Luthien, I was trying to avoid these thinking you should be creating things freely but you are really a girl who loves structure, rules, and objectives kind of like your mom


summer reading!

dressing up and creating

playing lots of doctor/vet

more creating

playing with dear friends!  Bastian, you and Lucy could be mistaken for twins I think!




Love,
Mom


P.S.  Bastian, the last picture is older so you are wearing a diaper.  We said goodbye to diapers last week, YAY!  After about 3 very hard days you have been a dream to potty train!
