Today is my 2nd day of not leaving the house. I am going a little crazy. Luckily, I found the slip n' slide yesterday and Steve got it set up last night when he got home. The boys are out having fun (in our HEAT WAVE) and trying to stay cool.
Usually when we are ALL at home, minus dad, the boys cannot get along for the life of them. It seriously drives me CRAZY! They either have to be right by me, or are at each others throats. The rule is no TV except when they wake up in the morning and are waiting for me to wake up (they are on school time, I am NOT!). The rule for the Wii, is no Wii unless it is raining...or YiaYia (grandma in Greek) is here, because she likes to play the Wii with the boys! :)
We try to keep busy by having 30 min of school in the morning. I work with Joey in a curriculum book, trying to get him up to speed with his reading skills. Andy does
www.abcmouse.com. This is AWESOME! Andy has a lot of fun learning on this website, I highly recommend it!
The boys love to be in their "art room", aka the screened in porch which has no furniture, but all their art supplies! They both love to draw pictures and create. I am constantly getting "works of art" from them!
They can also go downstairs, which is their domain. We do not have any furniture down there either, but their room and the toy room is down there. The family room is a finished, wide open space they can run around in. Once I get them down there, they can play for hours, usually with each other. It is so nice to see them actually enjoy each others company!

| Seriously, he needs to learn to walk. It would make being outside so much more fun! |

Back to today, I was able to get some fun pictures of them outside playing in the water and HEAT! I just read a
friend's blog about capturing the moments we don't think about in our child's lives...the moments we will surely miss someday! I went right outside to try and capture some memories of the boys. I thought some of them turned out pretty cute!
