Summer Fun

 The boys are sparring with their Star Wars light sabres in the backyard with two of our neighbors. 

 And our very funny and talented neighbor, Chad, put this picture together after he took the one above.  Can you see the five boys in the middle?

 The boys are playing pretend baseball on the hottest day in MN since like last summer sometime.  The temps actually reached over 90 degrees!  It was short-lived like most of the heat waves here.

 Aiden is the pitcher

 We have taken the bikes to a couple parks recently and that is a way to wear Luke and Liam out for sure!  Luke was asking me to go home after this trip.

Dinner with Super Friends (Left to Right: Liam, Jack, Luke, Charlie, and AJ).  The only one missing is Baby Andy (Jack and Charlie's 8 mo. old brother) in his superman shirt

 

Luke and Liam planting some flowers

And this is what AJ was doing while we were planting flowers.  Note the car bumper with chalk on it.  Yes, we bought Aiden a flower to plant as well and we planted it.  After it spilled all over the car, that is. 

Despite some recent rain, we enjoyed a streak of really nice weather and had a lot of fun playing outside.  We are thankful to have several boys in our neighborhood that are basically the same age as the boys and we have enjoyed some nice play time every night after dinner which really helps with our bedtime routine/energy level.  Luke and Liam were really excited to plant flowers this year.  We took all three boys to the nursery and they each picked out a flower to plant in a small pot.  I am a little nervous about how much water these flowers have gotten recently, but we will see how they survive this summer.  We are a bit over zealous on the watering of our plants!  While John was away on a short guy's weekend trip, we enjoyed dinner with our favorite twin friends, Jack and Charlie, and we all wore our super hero shirts.  The boys all had so much fun.  Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!
