Trev has discovered a game from the BBC - Big Al.

"It's like Oregon Trail!" says he.  (He likes The Oregon Trail.)

 Maddie makes a book.

Summertime is being lived and loved as best and thoroughly we can these days- 

I am nowhere near ready to say goodbye to it.

we've tidied up a bit.

but mostly just thought about tidying up.

we've played water games

picked tomatoes

and made our day's "do" list.

puzzles

building dragons

Zoo Tycoon

and playing Mancala

(three games for Madd,

one for Trev)
have also been a part of our day.

drawing

Big Al

(part II)

pretend play

and movie making.

(Trev is working on a 30-part prehistory film.)

research

sibling play

and

Lawdy, it's hot.

play in the water, then.

right now the babes are swingin' up to the treetops -
trying to reach the stars, maybe.

Life
is
sweet.

And fine
and good.
