This morning we went out to play around 11:00. Not nearly early enough as it was almost 90 degrees and humid already. Charlie and Hank had so much fun. Hank pretended like he was Curious George trying to climb a tree, and Charlie created a new swing on the trapeze bar. Charlie had the new swing going really fast!

Charlie loves to find "supplies" to make things with in the yard and the house. He has made robots, kites, ugly bugs, cars, parking garages, and more. He hates for a cardboard box to be recycled before he has made something out of it. Today, he found some old string in the outdoor building. He had me tie a plastic shovel to the end of the string. He and Hank were taking turns pulling the shovel up and down. I overhead Charlie talking to Hank. "Hank, this is a pulley. A pulley is a simple machine that makes jobs easier." Charlie had wrapped his string to make it like a pulley. I guess "Curious George" and "Sid, The Science Kid" are really paying off. Later, the string became Spiderman's web.

Where have we been?

Well, I wasn't planning on taking a four month break from blogging. I have lots of great pictures to share. We have been VERY busy. Charlie has been playing t-ball, selling lemonade, swimming, and more. Hank has been trying really hard to keep up with his big brother. The big news is that we are having TWINS! We are very excited, and I'm still in shock. Hopefully, I can do a better job of sharing our crazy but fun life with everyone.

As summer is approaching and school is out, we are always looking for fun things to do. Tomorrow, the summer reading program at our local library kicks off. Don't forget to check your local library for dates and events. It's free, fun, and typically has great prizes. Be sure to share other fun things to do for the summer.
