This week, we've been trying to make the most of the last bit of summer before school starts. We've been trying to get as much beach and pool time in as we can. Ellie even started swimming on her own in the deep end (with her life jacket on)! Even Aria loves the water.
We tried canning for the first time this week. We started with peaches because they're super easy. They're super yummy, too!
I've been going for runs in the evenings after the kids go to bed. I usually don't enjoy exercising at the end of the day when I have no energy left, but it's actually been really relaxing. I'm sad that the evening light is quickly disappearing as we approach fall. Soon I won't be able to go anymore!
When we went grocery shopping this week, Ellie was REALLY upset that I wouldn't buy her a Halloween costume, so we came home and pulled out the butterfly wings for her to wear. I'm not ready to think about Halloween yet!!
We went to the Science Center on Friday because they were having an Engineer It! weekend. It was a lot of fun for the kids. They even had a guy demonstrate a machine that they called "the real life equivalent to batman's grappling hook".
While we were there at the Seattle Center, we made a stop at the big fountain, too. The boys had a lot of fun playing in the water. Ellie was a little nervous though, and stayed just out of reach the whole time.
I caught these two being cute and playing with each other this week. Asher was trying to teach Aria to say his name.
Miss Aria is on the move now. She will crawl a few inches on her knees, but mostly scoots around.
She is also starting to pull herself up to her knees on things.
She is perfectly content to be left on the floor to play and play and play. The room often looks like this in her wake, though.
The other funny thing she's doing right now is the "sniffy face". I'm pretty sure all my kids have done this.
She's getting really good at feeding herself. She can even pick up small things like cheerios to put them in her mouth.
Such a happy baby. :)
That's it for this week... Hopefully I'll have some vacation pics ready to share soon!
