Ready or Not...Summer is Here!

To start out I get a new 'do'. I go from growing my hair out to chopping it off. I've been wanting a change for a while now and I finally did it. I couldn't get a great 'self portrait', but it does look cute.

Little Princess has had a rough adjustment to summer.  The first week, she was bummed that school and dance were over.  She got pretty bored.  The second week, she had to adjust to her brothers being home all the time.  I've never seen such tantrums and naughty behavior.  Hopefully she'll get better from here.  She was over at our neighbors house playing in their costumes the other day and my friend sent me this picture. 

Somehow with summer our window well adventures resumed.  We hadn't had any animal down a window well for a really LONG time.  This week, we've had two.  Little Man spotted the vole in his sister's window well first.  He saw it in the corner, so I got out the BB gun and shot it.  I was pretty proud of my first kill shot.  The kids had a good time looking at it.  We left the dead body in the window well and one of the kid's friends kindly disposed of it (with gloves on) for me.

This same friend caught with his gloved hands the second vole.  This little guy dug himself quite the tunnel in Little Man's window well.  C  came over and dug through his tunnels and pulled him out. The kids were pretty excited about it.

It looks furry and cute-NOT!

It tried to bite C through his glove.  Little Man took the honors with the BB gun this time. 

This bike has made it through all four of my kids.  I got new training wheels for it for The Mover.  She loved sitting on it, but it may be a while before she figures out pedals. 

And our final adventure was finger painting.  Somehow the paint got left out and open and The Mover found it.  The only thing she forgot was a paper to paint on.  What a helper!
