Mid-August

Sunday scandles include Molly diving off headboard and onto my bed.

Then to our grandparents for popcorn, games and walks.

Eddie made up a new game where he tries to trap his victim with weights.  It's surprisingly hard to get up.

School has begun.  Our science project was a yeast balloon.

Molly's work.

Progress.

Gamers.  It's always so funny that the kids surround the one phone and watch each other.  

Wednesday we crafted.

Twnners.

Meg and Elijah came to visit!  Swimmers.  Meg and Molly made a zoo; Molly is feeding the animals.

Maddie, Eddie and Ryan all in a trio tried to get Elijah off the diving board.  They only suceeded a handful of times.

Lots and lots of puzzles this month.

Elijah is always very patient to play games with the littles.

We went bowling and to the arcade.  Austin won this time.

I really need to ask Ryan about his double peace criss-crossed.

We four danced on what should have been a one person game.  We won.

 The best part of our adventures together:

• Austin and Elijah just yeet the ball down the lane -- speed = strike.
• Meg bowls so easily and effortlessly and some how ends up in first or second.
• I gave Andy the tip to look at the arrows, and all of a sudden his game has improved by several strikes.
• Maisie just hops and laughs around.  She barely hits the bumpers.
• Nick bowls without an ounce of aggression, so he is easily strikes and gutters.
• Maddie, Eddie and Ryan play with the game consul; they don't seem see the live entertainment over the screen entertainment.  
• Molly is really content for the first game, but she never lasts past that.
