Summer has officially ended at the Button homestead with the 2 oldest back at school.
As we get into the fall season approaching Halloween costume conversation is beginning. The boys are leaning toward things like zombies and anything that would allow for carrying a gun. Guess we’ll be catching up on a lot of ninja movies and other such action-type flicks for inspiration. Scout’s first real costume should be fun. We’re leaning toward witch or fairy. We’ll see what she’s drawn to!
Summer was cram packed with paintball, bmx, movies, video games and swimming. We also took a road-trip to California for Magic Mountain & a family reunion. Additionally, We saw a desert mummy called The Thing?, barbecued and got a fish tank. It seemed like we’d never be able to fill the days as the summer dragged on. But then, Seamus started football and we knew the end was in sight. He’s really loving the exercise as well as being in with the bigger kids. While he’s only 11, his height and weight qualified him for the 14 year old team. He’s the youngest but, has kept up nicely with the demands required of him. Scout’s walking. I guess the bribery worked-she got 2 new pairs of shoes out of the deal! But the biggest finale of all was when Jack got a Yamaha 50cc scooter for putting around the neighborhood. The kids are wild about it and love taking little jaunts around the block with Dad. Jack’s just loving the possibilities for aftermarket parts & modifications.
Painting for me has become a new possibility. I had to wait until the baby became a little more self sufficient and I have a little more spare time with the kids out of the house a lot. I’ll be starting small and you’ll be seeing my works in my Zazzle shop on posters, mugs & other cool things. Cheers for now~
