Typical enthusiasm for a school morning.

One last movie night before school starts tomorrow.

School starts tomorrow so today the elementary kids got to meet their teachers. Funny enough, Alex was bemoaning the fact that he didn’t get to visit his school and get a head start on finding his classrooms.

Teague made sushi for dinner.
28
Aug
Everyone had a free night so Kaitlyn and Teague decided to cook. Teague was in charge of sushi and Kaitlyn decided on dumplings. Those are both family favorites and they did a great job!

My kids have been looking forward to this day all summer. It was the day we washed windows and baseboards! Everybody helped and it only took a few hours with the promise of a movie at the movie theater later in the week plus popcorn and candy.

Super Teague!

Aug
Last camp day. These kids have actually loved fort building, hiking, fishing, and canoeing. (Well, evidently Kaitlyn screamed during the canoeing. But they loved everything else.) Alex even planned to have all his friends meet him at the lake for a fishing date after camp.
17
Aug
It was Water Wars today at camp. Despite their faces, they had a great time. They just really wanted showers and a change of clothes. (Ben just likes to jump in the camp pictures – he has a few years before he can go.)
16
Aug
It turns out my kids are loving camp. They come home absolutely filthy, but happy and excited to go back the next day. They have been fishing, kayaking, fort building, and practicing archery. (Ben jumped in the picture because he didn’t want to be left out.)
15
Aug
I signed all the big kids up for Adventure Camp this week. Some of my kids are more excited than others.
14
Aug
Sunday best – and Ben with a little “extra.” Yes, I completely let him wear both gloves to church – one stolen from Alex’s desk (he uses it for drawing but it’s really from an old Halloween costume) and the other from a set of driving gloves.

Aug
Now that our babysitters are home, Wade and I went out on a date and left the kids to spend some quality time together with their electronics.
12
Aug
Last lake day of the summer.

They are playing “crack the egg.” Ben is very easy to crack but they both still love to play.

Teague is still working hard to finish the Lego set Wade bought him.
09

Wade had a new Lego set waiting for Teague when he got home. Both of them were pretty excited to work on it together.

One last day of fun before Pop brings these boys home.

Teague is not only a Lego building machine at home, but he uses Wade’s old Legos while in Collierville.
04

One of the boys favorite activities to do when they visit Memphis is to visit the farm and practice their driving.
03
Aug
Pop found an awesome arcade place for the boys and I hear they had a great time visiting today.
02
Aug
Alex and Teague are spending a week in Memphis with Granny and Pop. Wade flew them down early this morning. They arrived around lunch time and were treated to a rib meal at Wade’s favorite restaurant and then a few sight-seeing adventures while they downtown.
