Selling the "little yellow house"

As I was getting breakfast ready this morning, Luke must have been reflecting on his years in the house.  He said "Mommy, the funniest thing that ever happened at this house was when the seagull flew over the house with a piece of bread and dropped it on the roof.  That was so funny, right?"  I either don't remember this because I didn't find it memorable or wasn't present at that moment.  Luke was chuckling just telling the story.  So there you have it, the funniest story from the little yellow house.

Who wears the pants?

Camp -

Daddy has been wanting to take the kids camping all summer. Lots of talk about it, finally decided to execute. He thought he would break them in easy by doing a night in the backyard. Paige insisted she was up for the "camping trip". The kids were both very excited. Mommy was equally excited to be inside watching TV in her nice comfy bed. Paige lasted about 1.5 hours until she smartened up and realized being inside was a heck of a lot more comfortable than sleeping on the grass in the backyard. Luke and daddy lasted all night.

BEST DINNER EVER!!!

Today, the kids came down for dinner. They were both SO excited.  Paige started jumping around chanting "THIS IS THE BEST DINNER EVER!!" 
Notice the lack of color in this meal. Left to their own devices they would clearly be eating fried food every day....wait, that's called college.

Beach Daze!

Lots of time of the beach so far this summer.  Lots of great pics too....

 

 

 

Not really sure...

Padanaram -

Seeing that our time in the southcoast is limited, we are trying to take advantage of everything this area has to offer being our last summer. 

Love walking to get ice cream in the village -

Love the views -

Playing on the local playgrounds -

Love the water even on non-beach days -

One advantage of moving, as the kids see it anyway, box tunnels -

FORT

One of Luke's favorite pasttimes is making forts.  Here is one of his latest . He always wants to sleep in his fort creations. This one he has slept in for the past two nights.

Bible Camp -

Luke just finished a week of bible camp through the catholic church in our village.  He loved it!  It might have been his favorite camp yet.  Paige was a year too young to do it as they had to be entering K but Luke had a few friends that were also there. 

The camp was so well run and very organized.  Each day they had a theme down to the snacks they made (Moses burning bush desserts made from pretzels, icing and red sprinkles).  I was very impressed and thrilled that Luke had such a great time.

Here  is the entire group, although they were broken out into smaller age groups.

 With the volunteers.
