Father's Day 2014

 It was a great Father's Day!  It kinda of took us by surprise this year.  I looked at the calendar and saw that it was just a few days away.  The little girls were already talking about it at school and had grand ideas for their daddy.  Lauren made a rainbow tie for Jonathan.  She was so proud when he put it on at her school and wore it all the way home!
 Katherine loves to shop.  She always wants to go with you wherever you go just because she likes to look at things when we are out.  Well, apparently, she had seen this shirt and knew that is what she was going to get her daddy.  She got her own wallet and asked me to take her out to buy something for Jonathan.  She knew just where to go.  She wanted to know if it was going to take all of her money to buy it (actually more than what she had) but she still wanted to buy it.  So, she paid for some and I paid for some.  She also made about 30 paper airplanes, and a card.  Sweet girl.
 It has been really, really, really hot and humid here.  We sure have been wishing for a swimming pool.  We are thankful for a balcony that drains well and cleaning buckets :)
I really cannot figure out how Katherine can still fit into this bucket!  
The kids are still working toward their reading goals to get an iPad.  It has done just what I hoped it would.  They are developing a love for reading :)  We added an element to the rewards this week and they can now get stars for reading books to their little sisters.  The two little girls were so excited about this and had STACKS of books for Regan and Benjamin to read to them.  

 And finally, one happy girl eating her favorite food! A whole plate full of shrimp.  I told her to please save some for the rest of the family ;)
