Summer Break : Week 5

We spent a good part of last week with our cousins from California. The boys got to meet my cousin's two boys (one almost twelve, the other around nine). They got along so well despite the age difference.

But first, before company arrived, I took the boys out bouncing again. This time the bouncing place was offering pizza for lunch, so as a nice little treat for the boys I ordered some for them.

Nate was such a good sport - holding Aaron's hand up and down all the different bounce houses.

Little did we know, we were the only ones who ordered pizza! We had ourselves our own, private pizza party. I was "Mom of the Year" that day :)

We also did a craft class, had a swimming party with friends, then started our cousin fun!

We headed to FlipSide- where Nate had his birthday party this year. Perfect fun for all ages of boys!

Cousins!

Lunch at Red Robin

So excited because he won a stuffed animal from a game machine!

They love air hockey!

So, we spent a large part of the week with family before they left Friday morning. We had a pretty low key Fourth - we spent a large part of the day swimming and playing with Josh's mom, then had a BBQ dinner. Aaron was so tired that he fell asleep on the couch early in the evening - no fireworks for him. Lucky Nate - we let him stay up and watch fireworks with daddy. He was thrilled.

The rest of the weekend was low key. It was nice not to have anything planned or going on for a change. Though we did have some excitement to end Week 5....

BUNK BED!

Hubby finished just in time for bed Sunday night

 We begin Week 6 with Nate spending a lot of time playing in his "new" bed! Speaking of playing, the boys continue to play well together. Hooray, maybe it's not a fluke! :) It's been fun to watch them come up with their own ideas to play. Truly the first summer they're actually, really, playing together. I think that has a lot to do with why this summer has seemed to whiz by! Only two weeks now until Nathan starts school again. Wow.
