A hot weekend!

Yesterday, Jacks cousin Riley came over for a swim in the pool!  Jack and Riley had so much fun splashing and it really cooled them off!  Riley especially liked to splash just like she does in the bathtub!!

Later in the evening, we got a little fire going outside and toasted marshmallows!!  YUM!  We had fun watching Sydney try to NOT burn the marshmallows, but everytime she tried to toast one, it caught on fire!  Jack thought that was so funny, he just sat there laughing hysterically!! 

It was so nice snuggling with Jack by the fire watching the fireflys dance around the yard!

 

Today, we played outside for a while, but it didn't last long....it was SOOOOO HOT outside!  Jack was being a goober making silly faces and I managed to capture this classic look....

We headed over to Friendly's for their free ice cream day to cool off and Jack was pretty excited to see the firetruck they had there for the kids to check out (and of course was VERY excited to get ice cream!)

Mystic Village and another craft!

Yesterday, Jack and I met Auntie Scoot and Riley at Mystic Village!!  It was such a beautiful day, and we knew the next 5 days would be cold and snowy, so we wanted to take advantage of it!!

We went to some very nice stores, and of course, looked for POSTCARDS!  We purchased some duck food and fed the ducks at the pond too!!

Jack was a little nervous at first, he thought he would get hurt if he let them eat out of his hand, but I showed him that it tickled my hand.  Soon he had a lot of new duck friends!!

These ducks obviously are pretty used to people being around!!  As you can see...Jack had a great time!

Nothing better to top off our afternoon than ICE CREAM!  Jack enjoyed chocolate with sprinkles, and Auntie Scoot and I had some grasshopper sundaes!  Poor Riley, always missing out on the ice cream!!  Soon, pretty girl, you'll be getting your own big sundae!

Jack and I came home to SIX postcards in the mailbox!!  Three from Greece, and one each from New Zealand, Belgium, and Portugal!!  Our map will be filled up in no time!

Today, Jack and I stayed home, really nasty weather outside, snow one minute, rain the next and mud everywhere!!

Jack wanted to add to his craft wall, so he decided on a sea star to put next to his submarine and jellyfish! Check out this great job he did, and he even wrote his name at the top (and made a sun!)  I am so proud of him, he'll be ready for school in no time!!

Jack also got 2 postcards in the mail today, one from Canada and one from Switzerland!  I thought that one was very cute!!  It has a bunny named Felix riding a bike and handing out mail and postcards all over the world!  How fitting!!
