Colm was sad that Liam was at a friend’s house and he didn’t have anyone to play with, so I took him up to the school where I knew there would be tons of kids because enrollment was going on. Sure enough, it took about five minutes for the boys there to organize a game of basketball. Colm was probably the second youngest kid playing, but he hung in there (and how they managed to play when at least half of them were wearing flip-flops I have no idea).

I took the boys up to school today to find out who their teachers will be for this year. Liam gets to loop with his teacher, so he is very excited about that.
The boys made their own homemade macaroni and cheese for lunch. They did a great job!
(This is the part where I leave out that it wasn’t until after Liam put the cheese in and it had already started to melt that I noticed that the cheese was moldy. I fished around in the pot and I think I got it all out.)
I love it when we come home from the library and they have a ton of new books to read. They dump them all in the middle of the family room and dive right in. They must have picked out some good ones this week because they were super quiet for quite a while.
We went hiking today at the Arboretum. It was kind of a cloudy day, so we didn’t get to see the spectacular views that you can normally see, but we still had a nice little hike.
Here we are taking a rest. Colm felt the need to stop at just about every bench we came across so he could get a drink and rest his poor weary legs.
We have an awesome farmers market and we had a great time sharing it with Grandma and Granddad. There were lots of samples to be had as well as scones, blackberries, blueberries, some locally made fruit soda, cheese, jam and bread to be purchased.
The boys have been talking about painting at the pottery place with Grandma and Granddad since June. Well, the grandparents came to visit this week and this was one of our first outings. Everyone made their very own masterpiece and I am sure they will all look fantastic after they get fired.
Liam’s been decorating his room.
Colm had his first soccer practice tonight even thought it was hotter than all get out.
