The letters J and B weeks

 We have been enjoying focusing on a letter of the week. Last week was "J" week. We made jello of course!

 The boys are getting so very big!

 This little boy gets into everything! Here he is trying to escape from the backyard.

 Playing in the backyard blow up pool has been a favorite past time this summer.

 Here is a typical Raphael face!

 Making juice....lemonade to be exact (thanks Grandma A. for the idea!)

 Jacob finished up his summer soccer league. He had a blast and scored around 10 goals!

 Here is a perfect moment where all three boys are playing in harmony. In reality this lasted less then 5 minutes, but who is complaining.

 For "B" week the boys ran the bases with their friend Anna!

 Enjoying a picnic lunch with the Masse family!

We also went to the Herschell Carousel Museum in North Tonawanda during one of their free Wednesday!

One of the volunteers was chatting with us about how the wooden horses were carved and assembled!

 Raphael refused to go on the carousel, but Jacob and Anna enjoyed riding.

 Raphael went on the bumper car instead!

 They have a great children's room.

 This is an old fair game. The boys had to hit the wooden objects with a bean bag. So much fun!

Earlier in the week the boys and I headed to the Tift Nature preserve for a preschool activity lesson. The boys learned all about moths and butterflies.  We've also been eating lots of green beans that Raphael and I picked up at the Farmer's market.  We have really been enjoying our summer together!
