We are exhausted!!

 
 
 
I kind of giggle when I see the kids have fallen asleep some where around the house. I think to myself I finally wore them out. Some days it is the exact opposite. Today was one of those days that they both fell out somewhere around the house. Jack fell asleep 10 minutes after swimming this morning, I was trying to get lunch done but he was out. But with all the things to do in the summer like swimming, staying out later to catch lightning bugs, having smores at a friends fire pit, running through the sprinkler its wearing them out. When we let Luke catch a cat nap we always ask him what he is doing when we wake him up and its always "I am just resting my eyes" he says "I wasn't asleep". We are really enjoying this summer, this has been the first summer where its starting to get easier and we are getting back a little freedom. I remember thinking this 2 years ago and then I had Jack a week later. Luke is "done" with naps. I say that with quotes b/c we still have nap time on reserve in case I need to pull it out. Jack still takes nap and they are required! Today Jack slept 2 hours longer than normal, I love the summer!

Strawberry Picking


We went picking strawberries actually June 1st, after swimming lessons one day. This is Jack's absolute favorite. Jack wanted really no part of picking them, Luke loved picking them. So after 45 minutes Jack was done with it. We ended up picking close to 16 lbs, so I attempted my first time making strawberry jam. After a day of cutting and washing we have enough jam for the year. Matt is really happy, strawberry jam is his favorite.
