ABC's of the Summer- Part 1

This summer has been full of so much fun!!  We tried to go through the alphabet and do a fun activity and craft with each letter.  We did manage to conquer every letter, although it sometimes got extremely creative, but we had a great time overall.  Here is some of the highlights of the fun things we did...

A is for...animals.  We went to several pet stores and saw all kinds of new animals.

 Raleigh's favorite were the tiny mice

 Thad's favorites were the g. pigs....he just kept laughing and laughing at them!!

Bis for...Bugs!!! We bought some bugs for the bath tub and watched them grow and shrink a ton of times.  B was also for bath time...we gave Titus a bath (like I said, sometimes we stretched our creativity).

 Raleigh and her favorite insect....the ladybug!!

C is for Cheetoes!!!  This summer Thad discovered the wonderful world of Cheetoes and is lovin life!!

 Serious about Cheetoes...

D is for a Dangerous new buddy named Skippy Jon Jones.  This summer Raleigh really got into the Skippy Jon Jones books.  Thad just simply enjoyed laughing at my attempt to speak in an accent.

Can you tell that we had to have our hair fixed to where it will match Skippy's ears??

F is for Funny Faces and Funny hats.  Raleigh definitely went through a time this summer where she thought she was just like a dinosaur.  She would copy their faces and try to make everyone laugh around her...silly girl!!

Dinosaur face!!

Thad also had to wear his funny hat this summer every time we swam...I thought it was precious, but everyone else thought it was ridiculous.

I is for Injuries....I know it is inevitable (you like all the letter I usage don't you) but being a member of the Ivy family it is only a matter of time until you get injured.  My sweet boy got his first injury this summer.  Thankfully, we avoided his eye. As you can see, he seems to handle pain pretty well.
