June Bugs

We have been enjoying the summer so far, but have honestly not been going outside all that much. It's too hot! The boys get all red in the face and sweaty and with their fair skin I'm always concerned they'll burn. Here are some other random things I want to remember:

This is the definition of strong-willed: Yesterday Hampton made the little mess pictured below.
Four DVDs outside of the box we keep them in.

I kindly asked him to clean up and put the DVDs away. He said no. He went to time out. I asked him again. He once again protested and was put into time out. This went on for an hour and a half!!! He is so stubborn. He was not able to play and had to sit in time out until he put them away. 

Finally he did it! And I was exhausted. He was too. Being that stubborn is hard work.

Wresting with one another is how these boys show love. The boys attack Eric. It is very funny.

Sassy will stick with hugs and kisses though. 

One thing I love about summer are all the cute clothes! Eleanor has not worn shoes in months and it is so easy.

This little boy has been a real handful lately. He is definitely two. Testing boundaries and throwing fits. However when he is happy- he is HAPPY. Singing and dancing and having a party. 

Everett has been going to Vacation Bible School this week. In true Everett form, he cries every day that  I drop him off. His teachers say within seconds he is happy once again and is having a great time. He told me he is learning about Jonah, likes the singing, and the other day had the most delicious treat-he said, "they are called gummy worms Mama and they were so good!" 

While Everett was at Bible school this morning Eleanor, Hampton, and I went on a picnic in Biltmore Park. It is hard to keep Hampton contained, but it was good for Eleanor. She liked sitting in the grass but kept trying to eat it. That girl will eat anything! We have yet to find a food she does not like.

We've had a good June. I cannot believe it is almost July!
