Perfect Summer Morning

 This is our last week of summer before Nathaniel goes back to school. We have decided to make the best of it even if that does mean sitting out in the heat. This little $15 pool has been one of our favorite activities. Doesn't get much better than boys and their buckets!

 I thought they might play well, and I would get some reading done in my book. They were desiring my attention more so I didn't get much read. I did want to say that I am loving this book and learning so much. I recommend it to everyone!

 They love to put their trucks in the pool too!



 Nathaniel is getting so close to being able to climb up this tree. Of course, Ethan has to copy everything he does. Not sure exactly what I will do when he does get up there. Most likely freak out and pray that he comes down. Ha! Parts of me are excited about it though. I remember loving to climb trees when I was young, and I want my boys to have sweet memories like that too. 

 He kept saying that he was a monkey. Silly boy!

They ended the morning by picking "berries" off the bush. No worries, I watched very closely to make sure Ethan didn't eat any. :-)

Once they finally came inside we read some books and played with play doh. I also worked with getting Nathaniel to learn his first memory verse...Genesis 1:1. We worked on it during lunch. He wasn't showing much enthusiasm, but I just kept repeating it to him. We didn't think about it again until dinner when I started telling Stefan about our work. Nathaniel surprised me by reciting the whole thing! Talk about a proud mommy!!! We really had a great day!
