Adam loves a good bubble bath. And since we found that someone dumped a bunch of soap into the tub, we decided to let him have some fun and not let all that soap go to waste. 🙂

Getting Wet
We bought a new kiddie pool this summer, and decided to get it out this afternoon. Adam found the hose while the pool was filling up and he had a GREAT time attacking everyone else with the water! Of course not everyone was so excited to be hosed off like that.
We did eventually turn the hose off and Adam had to content himself with getting into the pool and splashing everyone that way. 😉
Adam’s Tent
We had bought this little tent, when Ethan was little, and I saw it in the garage today and decided to get it out to inspect it. I remember part of it being broken but I couldn’t remember which part or how bad, so I had the boys put it up in the living room. Adam instantly wanted to hang out in it.
He loved that it’s just his size.
Upgrading Car Seats
I’ve been feeling it’s about time for a car seat upgrade. The car seats that we have had Chloe and Lydia in are at least 9 or 10 years old. Chloe is old enough and heavy enough for a booster seat now and Adam is out of leg room sitting rear facing and he is rather squished in the infant seat. So we went out today and bought Chloe a booster seat, and bought new car seats for Adam and Lydia.
Adam was really excited to check out the new seat while it was in the house and we were adjusting straps.
Here is the arrangement of the van with the old car seats. In case you can’t tell, that’s two forward facing seats, with the infant seat in between on the front row.
Here’s a view of the van with all the new seats.
The kids were all so excited to sit in their new seats that we decided to have movie night in the car. We put on “Emperors New Groove” and went for a drive, so they could ride in their new car seats.
Ethan’s Scouting Skills
Ethan came home from scouts yesterday with some homework: to set up and take down a tent twice. So this afternoon I got out a tent and sent him out in the front yard to do his assignment. I let Jeremy go out to help him, but I stayed in the house and refused to do any of it for him. I really wanted HIM to do it, and I didn’t want to risk taking over.
The other kids watched excitedly from the front door. Adam really wanted to be outside with the boys. He was totally smashing his nose against the door just to get that much closer.
The hardest part of Ethan’s assignment, was getting the tent back IN the bag. We brought the tent into the house to refold it to see if we could get it to fit better.
