Last Day of School

I decided to try my hand again at water colors for Crew's first grade teachers thank you note. It's really something I should practice more than once a year. I was okay with how it turned out, but not overly pleased. Oh well.

I was happy to go and help all day with supervising the bouncy toys. It was fun to be over the one that was Crew's favorite so I was able to watch him go through over and over again. I then ate lunch with Crew and hung out a little bit before I pulled him out early to head home. Honestly, who needs to waste another 2 hours at school watching a movie!? Let's get out of there! 

"Say goodbye to your friends Crew." .... instantly swarmed by girls!

Boys and Their Dumptrucks

I went outside to check on Sawyer and found him in his new favorite play space: in the back of the dump truck with his trucks. It was fun to sit and chat while he did his thing and he wanted to show me all of his work and tricks. 

It's nice to see him out and about without his cast on. He does still limp and his leg gets tired so he has to use his crutches at times. It's getting better and stretching is helping along with playing. 

Lake Days

School isn't even out and we have been to the lake! It is so full and so much fun to have so much water. Surprisingly, the water isn't all that cold either! Also, why am I not bringing my nice camera out to the lake?! These pictures don't do justice...oh well. I am too tired and pregnant to care most days.

Pool Prep

The boys were so excited the day we surprised them with buying a pool that they get to play in all summer. It's 15' x 3' and will be perfect for cooling off without having to pack up and go to the pool. Abe removed a section of our fence and brought in some sand and taught the boys how to level out the dirt. (Sawyer worked on making a fire with two pieces of wood... it might take awhile.)  The next step is to put a ditch liner, which is essentially like felt carpet, underneath it. Abe referred to it as a redneck pool. At this point I don't really care and I am glad we have something to do any day of the summer.

Cast Removal

Huge day for this guy right here! He got his cast off, but still will use his crutches for 2-3 more weeks as he transitions from no weight to weight bearing.  He was so flaky and we left quite the trail where ever we went. When we got home he had a much deserved soak and exfoliation!

 Sawyer has been battling contagium mollescum (mostly on his legs) since the beginning of the year. We have been actively treating it for the last couple of months to keep it from spreading and further. His cast helped in covering and preventing any on his leg from being rubbed and spreading, but it left pretty big scars/scabs in many places. But, I think we are nearly done with it and hopefully it stays far away!

His leg was so skinny and and Sawyer just started giggling as he tried to move it. He said, "It feels like my leg is sucking in." How wonderful it must have been for him to bend his knee for the first time in two months!
