We have a birthday boy in the house this week! I will be doing a separate post just about Jonas tomorrow.

Here’s our week . . .

Brooks is into nature. He picks up bugs and shows them to me and then asks to keep them. I am fine with this as long as he doesn’t start collecting reptiles and birds.

Our bean tepee looks great! Now we are just hoping for beans.

Snack nite outside the pool.

Our board.

This week Mark and I worked in the yard for several hours after bedtime. We were tired and I was eaten up with bug bites but the yard looked nice after and I had a nice pitcher of flowers on my counter to remind me of our hard work.

I made shrimp with Moroccan spices. I am in love with a new cookbook.

Brooks helping his brother read.

Shrimp tacos with mango salsa.

This week was a struggle. Not much sleep, lots to do and two brothers that fight about everything. Extra coffee was needed on this day.

A science experiment that worked.

One morning I didn’t hurry up and eat while the kids were watching. When they realized I was eating, they rushed in and wanted second breakfast. By the time, everyone had their own eggs mine were cold and everyone wanted to sit right next to me.

We meet a lizzard this week.

This pool has saved us in the afternoons. After Jonas goes down for a nap, the boys and I head outside. Summer is here and it is hot.

Brooks thinks he could be Japanese because he loves ramen, seaweed, and sushi. He was serious about this.

Getting my pantry stocked for more kids in the house this week. 

Putting together VBS decorations for this week. Happy I will be able to check this off my list.

See you next week!
