The Weekend

I'm posting a few photos from yesterday's end-of-the-VBS week event. Each group had an opportunity to lead the campers with a song. Ian's group was called the Magical Merry-go-rounds. He did very well!

On Monday he starts soccer camp in the mornings. Gavin will visit the Y, if I can take care of this cold by Monday!

Both kids seem to be enjoying their summers. Gavin can sing his ABC's along with singing Itsy Bitsy Spider and The Wheels on the Bus. He can count to at least 14 (the number of stairs we have heading downstairs) and knows a lot of colors. He is not showing much interest in the potty training, but there are days where he wants to wear Ian's underwear. So, mom bought Gavin his own underwear last weekend...Scooby Doo that glow in the dark (Ian had to get matching ones, too).

Ian tries to write letters and then will ask what he just spelled. We'll be putting together our own "Ian Dictionary"...too cute! He has figured out some new computer games. He isn't too interested in the keyboard at all. In kindergarten they'll have computer time, so that should be fun.

Ian and Gavin love to be outside running around or doing something. Gavin is excited when he scores baskets and yells, "2 points! 2 points!" I haven't tried explaining 3-pointers or free throw shots at this point! Ian pretends he is NC State and I always have to be Virginia (since I receive a paycheck from NCSU...no way can I be Carolina or Duke!!!). Very rarely do they play with their toys in the house anymore. They enjoy doing craft projects, painting, coloring and playing board games when they are inside. If their dad is in, then climbing on him takes the cake with what to do inside.

As soon as Master Gavin wakes up from his nap, we're off to Walmart to buy the rest of the items off Ian's Kindergarten Supply List. Each school puts out supply lists for each grade level. Ian's list isn't as bad as some others that I've seen.

Tomorrow afternoon we're off to the park to celebrate Steven's 1st birthday!
