We did stuff at home too...

 

All this talk of summer trips to escape the KS heat, and to keep the CNMs occupied...didn't want you to think there weren't any noteworthy activities on the homefront!  



 

Yes, there was fishing.  Even when the temps were soaring and the humidity was thick.  You can't keep Conner away from the fishing holes.  And the picture up top shows the very fleating moments of Carson's baseball careeer.  (practiced two times and chose not to play in any games)

The cats haven't gotten much play in the blog recently, so here is a nice one of Smink.  Both girls are doing fine, and quite content to be indoor pets during the heat of summer.

Darby is such a cool kid, and has made a couple appearences on the blog.  Carson and he are buddies, and they share an affinity for Marvel superheros, evidenced by their focus on the above picture.

Conner has worked hard all summer with his new lawn care service.  Several of our neighbors have him mowing, weeding, and doing overall maintenence.  But when he's not working, he is content to chill at the house.  Kick back and read the paper...



 Carson on the other hand, needs to remain active or he gets anxious.  He has served all summer as a junior counselor for a city-sponsored day camp.  7:30am till 2:30pm Monday thru Friday!  And he too is helping some locals with their lawn work.  Here he is enjoying a rooftop performance with Dad.





So, we are only weeks away from school starting again.  This coming year will be the first and last that the boys are in different schools (till they head off to college!)  (and since Conner was in kindergarten)  Sure wish these studs would stop growing up so fast!
