summer bugs...



Oh, the summer. We wait all year for it, and then it comes and goes so fast. I can't believe July is almost over. We haven't done anything huge yet, but we have had a lot of fun. OUr garden is growing well despite the slow start. Especailly our strawberries. The kids have loved having their own little crop of fruit, and they are delicious!
Addie loves trying new tricks. She has mastered the monkey bars and likes to do flips on the bard at parks and in the yard. She is very entertaining.

Devin....polar opposite. Wants to be along somewhere playing with a bug. He likes worms and loved this caterpilar that we found, but hates spiders and flies. He likes ants too but has started trying to step on them. He is cute as a button and is continually mellowing out a bit the older he gets.
Anyone who lives in Alberta knows we have gotten a lot of rain. Again the kids proved how different they were. Addie changed 3 times to get out of her wet clothes and I poured lakes out of Devin's gumboots 3 times. He was in heaven. They both loved looking for worms and playing with them. Oh...what a loving mother does....I can't handle touching them....but I know it won't hurt them and want them to expereince these things. It is interesting. Anyways, we are doing well and love our kids more and more each day.
