Summer Fun

I am still keeping 2 children (other than my own) every day during the week. I have had Jace, 14 months old, since he was 2 1/2 months old. The other, James Henry, 17 months old, has only been here for a few months. The 4 kids keep me busy but I enjoy it. (Most days!!)

We have been very creative in finding activities here at home this summer, for we are not able to leave the house when the babies are here. We have made tents out of sheets and chairs and they've pretended to go camping in the living room.

The kids have even created their own restaurant called "Mama Mia's" and guess who their waitress is... you may have guessed it- Me /Mama!! I even created a menu for them to order from! We've had a lot of fun with it every week!

We had Mama Mia's outside this day!

We've also made crafts, colored, put together puzzles, played games, played outside (when the weather permits), watched movies, had sleepovers, and have even come up with some fun ideas that I have gotten from a website called Pintrest. (Yes, I have enjoy "pinning" cute ideas after the kids go to bed!!) I am happy to report that my kids have said the words, "I am bored" very little this summer!!  Here are a few pics I have taken here and there this summer...

On the weekends, Steven and I always try to come up with some fun, rather inexpensive things to do as a family. I will post more about all of the fun weekends at a later day.

So, STAY TUNED until next time!!
