Teague

We always cause quite a disturbance at hotel breakfasts. This particular morning we weren’t quite the scene we sometimes are.

Teague has been on poop scoop duty and his shoes got a little “dirty.” He tried to bring them inside to clean them and I promptly sent him back outside. (I love summer.)

It was an ice cream kind of night!

National Night Out Block Party – Teague was hoping for a gift card but got a tattoo.

These two were so cute working on their “homework” before the day really got started.

We tried something new today – and had so much fun!

I demanded everybody get out of the house again today. The big boys were looking for the shortest excursion they could come up with and chose the Storybook trail. We did remember bug spray but it didn’t do much to help. This trail is always bad with bugs in the summer and seems especially bad this year. We decided to mark it off our list till fall.

Teague is enjoying summer and all the time to bake sweets.

We always have at least one extra gallon of milk in the basement refrigerator. We had to get it out tonight to fill the glasses with milk for dinner. The big boys took one drink and declared the milk bad. I was annoyed because it was a brand new gallon that wasn’t supposed to expire till 7/29, but it happens. Thankfully we had another gallon and it seemed to be fine.

Teague’s daily job is picking berries. Most of them get eaten before they make it inside, but we are trying to save some from the birds.

Sometimes Teague likes to hang out in the kitchen but forgets his own reading material. Then he reads anything available – even Ben’s books.

I don’t think either big boy left the house today. There was definitely a lot of TV watching and game playing for them today.

Mario Kart has become a nightly thing. Kaitlyn has fun playing and the big boys are trying desperately to beat Wade, who has been playing the game since his middle school days.

Teague did some baking today too – Chocolate chip pie.

Cinnamon donuts for breakfast. (Of course he didn’t come downstairs till 10 so he ate the entire batch himself.)

Taking a moment with Dad.

We had family pictures tonight. It was hot enough to be quite miserable but everyone did a great job.

Parade watching.

Today I learned that Teague plays skee-ball left handed.

Saturday morning cartoons.

It was a s’more kind of night.

Snuggling with monkey – age 12.

It’s how he spent the majority of the drive, but nobody complains!

Teague taught Grant to make cookies – delicious!
