We have had a busy (and too hot) summer and didn't get a chance to go camping. Kevin worked beyond the kids bedtime last week and we just needed something to keep us busy so we had a camp out in our living room. It's a fairly new tent and I hadn't set it up by myself before, so I kind of underestimated how big it was going to be- it was a perfect fit barely! :)
Arianna just LOVED the pet door LOL
They played for 3 days and slept in it for 2 nights. GREAT entertainment!
Art day. We even hooked up Ari's table so she could play along-it was her first time painting
Hailey (my free spirit) doesn't believe in paint brushes. She thinks they limit her creativeness
Scott prefers the less messy stamps
Something funny about Ari is she thinks everything is lipstick. She is constantly putting using Kevin's deodorant as lipstick (I know-yuck) along with anything else including markers of every kind (even permanent one time) and now paints too
Kevin took a much needed day off on Tuesday so we could go to the zoo and play with the kids before school started, plus the kids were begging me to see the new baby giraffe SJ (Stretch Junior)
Apparently almost getting eaten at the Animal Safari warmed Ari up to feeding animals, because she was going crazy feeding the animals and just couldn't stop laughing and smiling
They also got these "zoo keys" to keep around their necks. Each animal has a place to put your key to hear facts and a cute song. Super cute!
We are always missing random items around the house because Scott is always inventing things...like this bell he made with a drop light magnet, office pencil holder, magnet with a hook and a wrench hanging
Summer is over here in Missouri although the temperatures say otherwise
School starts today- pictures to come :)
