Week In Review

We've had another fun week of summer vacation.  Summer break is going way too fast!! I want to stop time for a bit and enjoy the kiddos more! Here is just a handful of the fun things we did this week. We did a lot of swimming, but I didn't get any pics of that.

Porter made a "robot" in preschool (can't remember if I posted a pic of him with his buddies and their robots already or not?).  Stella really wanted her own robot after seeing P's, so one morning this week she made 2 robots and Porter made another one using materials found around the home. 

Wednesday night we had Hannah and Haydn over to spend the night.  I took them to Pump It Up (a bounce house place) that afternoon.

After supper that night they took their dolls in a walk around the neighborhood.  Porter opted to stay at home with Mike and play on the swing set! We also made S'mores and we've had the tent up all week in the playroom so they slept in that and had lots of fun!

We finally got rain on Friday. I feel like we haven't seen rain in ages. I opened up the windows to hear it better and Rex loved having the windows open just as much as I did.

Stella has really gotten into playing dolls this summer. She plays in her room all the time with her dolls. So cute! :) We are going to be redoing her room this week, you can see her new bedding in the photo. We redid Porter's a few weeks ago. I'll post pics once we are done with everything.

P got a haircut this week! Here he is enjoying the sucker he got from Great Clips.

They are signed up for the summer reading program again through the Urbandale Library. Their prize this week was a coupon for free pretzels from Auntie Ann's Pretzels! They were thrilled! They LOVE Auntie Ann's!!!!!!!!

Saturday they were invited to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. They had so much fun! We hadn't been to C.E.C for well over a year.

Stella hit a jackpot on one game and won a TON of tickets! (And yes, she dressed herself in a winter dress, but oh well! She looked cute! :)  )

Porter loved the game where he got to shoot huge spiders. I think he played it like 10 times.

We have Adventureland passes this year for the 1st time and we headed out there today.  I've been wanting to get a caricature of them all summer and finally did today.
                                   

They should sleep well tonight. They started out with P on his bike and Stella running with us this morning (they did 1.5 miles), then almost 5 hours at the water park!! So we are having a movie night tonight. They are watching Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
