Lazy Days of Summer

The last few weeks have been pretty uneventful. We haven't been outside; we don't last much longer than about 15 minutes before the kids are covered in sweat and want to go back inside. So Levi builds lots of ships, rockets, and airplanes with his Legos, Mattie does her best to pester Levi, and I try to keep the laundry pile down and dinner cooked every night.

Mattie loves to get dressed first thing in the morning and picks out her own clothes. The majority of the time she matches fine, but she does have the occasional fail. I thought this one was funny. Backwards shirt and panty hose. I was quite impressed that she managed to get the panty hose on!

She also likes to try and bring Levi his clothes to put on and wear. But he much prefers to stay in his pj's all day if he can. And she grabs everything for him, including underwear. Because he already had them on, she put the extra pair she grabbed "on". Silly girl.

Of course, there is the occasional time out. Whenever Levi has to go to TO, Mattie will grab the other chair and drag it to a corner and put herself in TO too.

Naptime can be a struggle most days. Levi has pretty much ditched naps but I still make him rest on his bed/quiet play in his room. Mattie will fight me but eventually succumbs.

And occasionally Levi will try to crash late in the afternoon but I won't have that! You miss naptime, you have to wait for bedtime, which is at 8.

And the best part of the day is when Daddy gets home!
