Summer Days

Summer is winding down.  Tyler started football practice, Collin and Reagan had their last tennis lesson, and soccer season is underway.

We spent a good amount of time this week just relaxing.





Collin had $105 in gift cards for Toys R Us, so we went there this week.


He bought Ninjago Lego sets (and of course, he assembled them immediately) and gave Reagan $25 to spend on whatever she wanted.  He did that on his own; I thought it was sweet.  She bought a penguin.


We made solar oven s'mores this week.  Instead of traditional s'mores, we made ours with peanut butter cups and peppermint patties.




We all preferred the peanut butter cup s'mores and thought about trying Rolo or Milky Way s'mores someday.  We also decided that we all prefer classic s'mores over any other variety.


Collin and Reagan went mini golfing with Grandma.



They got ice cream/popsicles from the ice cream truck three times!

Finally, Collin had his first soccer game of the season.  What a difference a year makes; he did great out there!

Collin is so sweet to give Reagan $25! What a good boy!

I love smores! I never thought about making PB cup smores. I must do this!

At first I thought you were saying you had the mint patties with the peanut butter cup, and all I could think was "That doesn't sound like a good combination......"

How sweet of Colin to share his gift cards.

Collin is so sweet!!! That is really amazing that he offered Reagan $25 to spend on whatever she wanted.

Your smores sound amazing. And that is definitely an activity my kids would enjoy! Time to buy more marshmallows...
