The A Team: SUMMER TIME SUMMER TIME SUM SUM SUMMER TIME

I am SO THRILLED it is SUMMER! We will be doing some science and reading over the summer but the kids are thrilled and so am I to just have FUN, SWIM, and BE TOGETHER. I love summer!

The girls introduced Abel to honeysuckle... HE LIKES IT :)

Addison loves to swing. One of our struggles right now is she always takes her hair down. I fix it and before I know it, she's got it all down and hanging in her face. It's so her. She's my Punky Bruster (remember her?).

This is Bruce (above). My friend Christy has 5 kids and Bruce is the middle child. He cracks me up. He wore snow boots out to play (see below). I love this picture of him. Addison says she is gonna marry Bruce when she gets older. I guess we'll see.

Addie and Audrey - Audrey is #2 in the Randall family.

Aidan... he is such a rock solid kid. Just easy going. Very obedient. He reminds me so much of Ted. He is such a joy! He is getting to the point where he gets embarrassed by things that I do. Example... I said "Aidan do you need to go potty?" He was like "Mom, don't call it potty".
NOW.... the funny thing is... after I broke my foot and was at the Doctor's office (WITH NO KIDS), I asked the nurse... "Do you guys have a potty I can use?" Ted said "Tracie.. Potty?" haha. I guess it's part of my vocabulary! I'm a mom of 4 for sure!

The bracelets on Aidan's arm are all the craze! They are called Silly Bands. The kids got some recently. It seems to be the fad right now. It's fun to see them trade with their friends.

Abel is DEFINITELY TWO right now. He is such a joy to parent but keeps us on our toes (and on our knees!). He's so dang cute that I pretty much give him what he wants and then Ted reminds me he needs to be told no. (oh yay, that's right!). He has been throwing some real fits lately.

I mean HOW DO I SAY NO TO THIS?!

Aidan was listening to Audrey read her text book out at the park and something was funny in the book. It was about sea creatures... they were laughing at the different weird looking sea animals.
