Squeezing every last drop of fun out of Summer

-
 It's that time of year we all look forward to and dread...the beginning of another school year.  We are excited for another year of milestones and learning and growth, but we are not looking forward to missing these fun kids all day long while they are off to school, waking up before 7AM to catch the bus, and not having enough time in every day for all the fun activities we can think of.  So, before the school year began again in is't wonderful, foot-dragging inevitability we squeezed in a few more fun things to take advantage of the last final joys of summer. 
 We hit our neighborhood pool as much as possible.  I think we made it 3 times in one week! 

We also made sure to take plenty of time to enjoy delicious, refreshing popsycles in the backyard.  Nothing sweeter than a popsycle with your brothers and sisters.  


 And then we topped off the fun with cultural edification at the Miller Outdoor Theater.  We were lucky enough to see the University Houston's production of Shakespear's "As You Like It."
We LOVE the Miller Outdoor Theater and all of the great fun, culture edification, and memories it gives our young family.  What a blessing in this great city.

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
