summer stuff

we have been so busy with the big stuff, the kids haven't gotten to do much of the little summer stuff this year (not that the weather has helped much).  so here are some pictures from the past few days of the kids doing 'normal' summer stuff.

here they are (all four) pulling weeds.  they actually did a pretty good job!  manning mainly supervised the bucket but then he started to pull the weeds back out and was relieved of his duties.
an impromptu soccer practice to prepare for the fall season!  manning wouldn't step onto the grass but had a great time cheering and 'telling' me what was going on.
it was a little warmer but we couldn't get to the pool so we got out the inflatable pool (that we have had for i think four years) and let the kids go at it while matt worked in the yard.
and i gave them another go today during manning's nap.  the first video is a 'fail' but i still had to share.  the second video shows what i was trying to capture.


i think it has been nice to have some down time before getting back to school.  not that we aren't staying very busy, but we are picking what to do as each day comes with no set plans.  love.
