Updates on Clifton -
Trying to find activities that are fun for Clifton and the other kids has been harder than ever.  He thinks he is too old for some activities.  But as long as he has a friend or kid his age he seems fine.

Updates on McKay -
Has been such a great helper and is so sweet to me.  Whenever I complain or moan in pain she is quick to come to my side and make sure I am ok.  I am loving where she is at right now.

Updates on Stanley -
Is loving having his siblings home to play all day, although he has become more whinny than ever.  It may be the fact that he doesn't get as much Mom time as he was or/and he knows a big change is coming.  Hoping this is a quick phase because there is a lot of tears these days.

Alex headed to Camp Heleman this week and we had a full week ahead of us.

Tuesday and Wednesday I was helping run an Activity Day camp.  The kids had a babysitter for half of one day but the other day they tagged along with me.  And they seemed to enjoy themselves at the camp.

It is always fun to be apart of this camp, but boy was I beat.

So afterwards we decided we deserved some ice cream for all our hard work.

Thursday was another fun playgroup.  We hiked new trails.

We unexpectedly walked 3 miles and I don't think we heard much if any complaining.

That night we went down by the bay to listen to the Concert on the Bay.

Such a beautiful night!

Silly dancing kids.

Friday we went on a hike with friends again.

Cuties!

Then we came home and got some things ready for Baby's arrival.

We are getting more and more excited for baby to come.

That evening we finished reading the Indian and the Cupboard.  So we made some crafts, brownies and watched the movie.

The book was a good as I remember it being.  And all my kids seemed to enjoy it.

Saturday we got to explore with our friends.  We took the foot ferry over to Bremerton to explore the festivities but they didn't start till 12 so we ended up going on the USS Turner Joy.

So much to see and explore.  And lots of stairs, not the easiest when super pregnant but worth it.

Then we joined in on the festivities.  Gold fish racing...

They were supposed to have real gold fish and the first 100 kids would get to go home with one, but I guess they couldn't get real ones so they made Gold Fish crackers work.  Either way my kids had fun and Clifton got first place!

After a much needed rest at home we came back out for the parade and slurpees!

Fun day!

Alex finally got home late Saturday night and we were so excited to have him home again.

Sunday walk with Dad.  Follow the leader is our new favorite hike/walking game.

Other fun things from the week...

Kids made their World Cup brackets and Clifton is obsessed.  He begs to watch ESPN or the games all day long.

Finished our 10 hours of reading, now to try and get to 100 hours this summer.

Lots of walks/hikes

 Best view ever.  Benefits of being slow ;)

And many park visits.

Of course something has to happen when Alex is gone (and has all the tools).

Kids cup got stuck in the disposal.  After an hour I finally got it out!
