Lately

We've been trying to get the most out of our summer, and that has included lots and lots of time playing outside with neighbors. These aren't the best shots, but Miles loves when the Masseys get out the slip and slide. On days that we're home, Miles is outside pretty much the entire day, playing with Tommy.

He also did basketball camp last week at Wheaton South and seemed to really enjoy it. He also did a random tennis clinic that some of his friends were doing. I don't think he's met a sport he doesn't like to play, although he definitely likes the ones that come easiest to him the best.

 

We're also in the swing of golf season (pun intended). Brooke is in the 3-holers, which means that she plays an actual 3 holes of golf each week with other girls her age. She's really enjoying it, which is fun to see.

Miles is also doing Lil' Chippers, which is just an hour of practicing golf skills with other kids his age. It always takes a little motivating to get him there, but he always says that he had fun.

With all of the swimming, golf and other activities the big kids have, these two are troopers and really good sports.

 

Paige is loving the new ponytail style that Aunt Kiki tried with her in St. Louis. Every morning she asks me if I can give her an "Aunt Kiki piggy."

Not the best shot, but they had a "Sisters Makeup Shop" one morning with Brooke's makeup kit. I don't want to jinx it, but overall the kids have been playing really well together this summer.

Paige is such a character. She's still always carrying a bag around and has really elaborate play schemes. She plays really well by herself and when I ask what she's playing, it's almost always some form of "shopping." Not sure what that says about me...Anyway, it's so fun to get a glimpse into her imagination.

I can't believe summer's 1/3 over, but we're looking forward to two more months of fun!
