He loved working the drill, but I think even more, he loved being with his dad!
He does not seem to mind manual labor...unless it is cleaning up at home :-)
Usually when JR tries to take one of the boys somewhere special, they all end up wanting to go. Here are pictures of one of their favorite places to go.
They can spend forever in Game Stop. I am glad my boys love to window shop and they always know going in that no money will be spent.
(This one is a little blurry..they are all taken with JR's cell phone)
One more picture. This is a picture of a chapel that is in the resort community where JR works. Just thought it was a neat picture.
Last week the boys did a VBS/soccer camp called "High Power Soccer". I am finding that more VBS's are including something 'more' for the older kids. They spent half their time doing the regular VBS stuff and the other half learning new soccer skills. The boys enjoyed it a lot and are looking forward to fall soccer starting up. B is wanting to try some basketball too.
At the end of Kindergarten J was reading decent. Yet over the summer he has not read much so lost some confidence. Last night though, he for the first time, read an entire book to JB at bedtime. I see the confidence building. B has also been doing some 'math homework' recently - 5 problems a day. He drags his feet, taking hours to sit down and focus without whining. The other day some of the teen age neighborhood boys were over playing basketball. They came inside and one of them was able to get through to B and it started clicking. Amazing how much is fogotten over the summer. This kid just had the teaching gene...maybe I could hire him as a tutor/motivation this school year.
I am always amazed how people often guess my age 5-8 years younger than I really am. So how is it that yesterday a lady asked if I was the boys' grandmother. This was a grandmother herself!
I head in for surgery in a bit....
