The boys have been having lots of fun in the water all summer! They usually swim, but last week I convinced them that sprinklers were fun too. W
e have an oscillating sprinkler, so I told them to run and touch the water before It squirt them. So they thought that was really funny, and eventually decided they liked it when the water got them.In the pool recently Andrew taught himself to float on his back! I had never mentioned anything about floating on one's back to him before. I was in the yard and noticed what he was doing so slowly when over to watch, without him seeing me. It was really cute and yes he was floating! I asked
him where he learned that!It was from a DVD we checked out from the library last week called "Popular Mechanics For Kids: Sea Creatures." Anyway Andrew said Tyler on the show showed him how to float on his back, then Andrew said, "It's because of Buoyancy", as he was floating along. : )
Lately Jacob has been constantly building, with whatever he can find! He's been making a little collection of different materials he deems suitable for building. (for example he in the picture you might see the piece of brick he had found outside. After finding it, he then ran inside and started building. (thats when i went in to take the picture.)
Anyway I asked Michael if he thought we could make him some blocks up in his Dad's shop. So anyway, Last night he went up and made a bunch of blocks. Here are the few I've finished sanding so far.
Andrew is and has been really into superheros.
Here is him with a towel for a cape.
