I am thankful for so many things, but lately I can not thank my children enough for all the zillions of smiles they bring to me! Last week Sloane woke up from nap asking to make "M&M cookies." I have never made this type of cookie before so after a quick Internet search I found the perfect recipe and we began whipping up a delicious batch of "M&M cookies." Both kids found these cookies pleasureful to their taste buds, but after two cookies a piece I told them it was time to head outside for some exercise. Russell quickly responded, "and then we can have more cookies?" I replied, "yes, but now it's time to go outside and get some exercise." Well...Russell took my words quite literally. All I meant was to go outside, ride your bike, run around the yard, kick the soccer ball, all normal everyday activities in our backyard. When I went to the back window to check on the kids, Russell was in the middle of our driveway doing push-ups! His face was so serious. The hysterical part of the entire story is that on this particular 90 degree day, he had chosen to wear head-to-toe camouflage!!! I about wet myself laughing while imagining the neighbors walking by wondering what kind of boot camp I was running during my summer off! Needless to say, Russell did earn himself a 3rd and 4th cookie!!! I unfortunately do not have pictures from this event, but here are a few other photos to pass on.
Aron has a friend who lives on Lake Orion so yesterday we went over and enjoyed a beautiful day on the lake!
Russell tried out a new activity on the inner tube!
As always, both kids were little fishes!
We got new furniture last week and Mac is thoroughly enjoying nap time on the new sofa!
