Ever since Kirsten made a diorama in school last year she has loved making them at home. Every shoe box is quickly turned into an ecosystem of some kind. This was her latest.
We've tried to follow a schedule most days this summer. One thing on our schedule was workbook pages for Kirsten. She said she loved doing them, but there were quite a few days she tried to negotiate her way out of them:) we did have fun working together on these.
You can see Max crying in the back ground. He and Colton were fighting over a box...
Kirsten was up in her room for a long time one day. She told me not to go in there. Then she had me close my eyes while she ran downstairs and put this cute picture in my room to surprise me. Sure love that little sweetheart!
Before she brought her finished picture down. She borrowed my phone, ran up to her room, and came back saying, "look what I found on Pinterst" while showing me this picture;)

Outside


Kirsten and Colton were playing with their water guns. Max decided to find a squirt gun for himself so he found this little spray bottle and started spraying everybody and everything.



We've spent most a lot of our time this summer swimming in the backyard. When Max would go down for his nap, Kirsten, Colton and I, headed out to the pool.  The best was when daddy got to come too. We had so much fun swimming this Summer and I'm pretty sad Summer is over!

Krispy Kreme

Kirsten got a coupon for a free donut from the library for the summer reading program. So after Colton's therapy yesterday we took a trip to Krispy Kreme.
The other day Colton was in bed and I was putting Kirsten to bed. Colton came walking in Kirsten's bed and asked if he could get in Kirsten's bed. Kirsten was so sweet with him. She has read this book to him many times since we got it from the library because she knew he would love a book about trucks.
