the boys

I took the boys to a building activity at Lowe's a couple weeks ago. They got to make their own wooden dragon from "Shrek". It required reading and following directions, as well as using a hammer and nails. 
Ethan did awesome right up to the point he slammed the hammer on his finger. Poor guy. He did finish his though. His finger is still black and nasty looking.
Elliott tried some hammering, and apparently it works best if your tongue is hanging out. 
He had so much fun.
I had to include this. Elliott is so crazy. His shorts were inside out and he couldn't get them turned the right way. His solution? Put them on his head. He does stuff like this all the time, definitely keeping us on our toes and laughing.  
Elliott joined me at Andrea's house, while she did my hair, he played outside with Harlo. The Slip-n-Slide was a big hit.
The boys and I met some of their friends at the park for some bike riding. Ethan loves jumping his bike, and in true "Ethan style" is pretty good at it. 
Not much this kids can't do. 
I love his face in this one.  
And of course, if the 8 year olds are doing it, the 3 year old isn't far behind. Elliott doesn't catch any air, but he gives it his all.  
I'm always shocked by the things this kid can do. He will not be left behind.
We had a great summer, but tomorrow is back to school for Ethan and next week Elliott starts.
