Summer is coming to an end!

Whew. Summer is over. Well, it's not for the boys yet - we have 2 weeks before preschool starts back up and they are both ready! This is Joshua's first year - in the Tots class (18 mth). And Landon will be in the 3s class this year. I'm so excited for their new year & they are, too!! My summer is over officially since yesterday was Promotion Sunday. As Children's director, that's a big, big day! And it marks the end of my busiest season of the year. Whew. It was a great summer, perhaps the best one yet in my 5 years in this job. But I'm tired!!
We had Back to School blessings in both services that I was in charge of, Children's Church and during Sunday school I had an Open House for parents kicking off a new ministry program to tell them about, relays & sno cone truck for grades K-5 and activities & ice cream for Preschool. Whew!

Around the house lately, we've had fun playing with sorters. J does the same thing L used to do at this age, just play with the pom-poms, moving them from cup to cup. Hey, that's good - gets him used to playing with it and works on coordination. Landon loves to sort and obviously this is easy now at his age (3 yrs, 9 mths) but he still likes to play with things that feel different and that's fun.

We did some "car" painting - one of our favorite things to do which turned into finger painting - fun!

Joshy loves to car paint & finger paint...he just wasn't crazy about the taste of the paint that he put his mouth as I went to the sink to go wash a car and came back to find him. LOL!! Good thing it's non-toxic!

We do have some cool dudes in our house...

And stacking is another fun activity we've done a lot of lately.

It's been a fun summer but we're ready for the Fall!
