things to do in the summer

Siena and Ben have been performing multiple plays for us each day. They are so funny. They each get a fairy tale or think of a play and they each perform one and then they get perform one together. It has seemed like this is all they want to do. It is a pretty good rainy day activity. We have had a lot of rainy days lately. I love them they are so cute.

 Siena told me that our play house outside needed to be more fun. She actually says we need to make it more fun so the spiders will stop coming on it. I don't think there is anyway to stop that but we will try. We actually have been watching a lot of 'My Yard goes Disney' tv show lately and each time the kids say they want a backyard like that. They are crazy yards with huge Disney themes. We won't go that crazy but we do need to add some fun to our playhouse. We started out by adding a hammock to our sandbox. It is so much fun. It reminds us of the beach. Claire even loves it.

We have joined a water park and enjoy going there often. Siena has been so brave and finally conquered going down tunnel slides. She loves them now. Yeah! finally! Ben finally conquered going under water. They are both doing really well with swimming.
We have done a couple of little craft projects but it takes a lot of work and I am not always up for it. Siena spends a lot of time in the craft room with her workbooks.
Both Ben and Siena have finished their reading program through the library and now it's time to go and spend the coupons. We are excited for them.
We have a little over a month till school starts and we are still having fun. Siena and Ben have started sleeping together in the same room. This is by choice. They sleep in Sienas room one night and then in Bens the next night. It is so dang cute. Ben protects Siena from being scared of the dark and it means Ben comes in to our bed less. Win Win! I love that they play so nicely together. I just hope that they will with Claire too.
