Summer Randomness

This summer has been extremely hot so we have done several things inside or have played outside early in the morning. Mark's parents came and stayed with us for the night on the way back to their house. They brought Mark a piggy bank that was his Grandpa's. Wesley had a great time taking all the money out and handing it to everyone.

Wesley got this pirate dress up outfit for Christmas and he loves to dress up like a pirate and run around the house saying "argh".
Wes had a few friends over one morning and made homemade bubbles.

Wesley loves buckets. Anytime you go outside he wants to fill up his buckets over and over. He helps you water the plants and trees and always wants to give Max water.
Katie made a curtain for Wesley's playroom and Wesley thought he needed to double check her measurements. He was a great helper.
Wesley loves ice cream so one afternoon he woke up from his nap and we headed to Baskin Robbins.
We are working on potty training with Wesley. He is doing a great job so far. One morning he woke up and I asked him if he wanted to wear his big boy Cars underwear and he said yes. He is doing a great job at going any time we ask him to. He refuses to use the big potty and wants to use his "froggy"potty.
We had a severe storm blow through one night with winds up to 70 mph and a few inches of rain, there was a constant lighting the whole time. We ended up losing power for a little over 12 hours. We plugged in our generator to hook up a lamp, fan and refrigerator. It was over 100 degrees that day but didn't seem like it.
