When John is traveling, James has a very hard time going to sleep. I usually find him sleeping in the hallway by the stairs so he can wait for Daddy to come home. Last week, when John was gone, I tried hard to get James into bed - but it backfired. He decided it was smarter to sleep on the stairs where I couldn't see him. He didn't know I was still downstairs though, so when I headed up I found him conked out like this. It was very impressive that he didn't fall.

Our neighbor had his 4th birthday and had a Spiderman themed party. Lots and lots of sugar and fun.

John brought back a drill for James just like his, so they have been going around the house "fixing" things together.

This week was James last soccer "game". It was a really fun season and we cant wait until the fall to so it again. There aren't a lot of sports going on during the summer for his age group so we will have to wait a few more months until we can get him signed up again. It was awesome to watch him listen and learn from someone else. He had his moments, but he did a great job. And he got his first trophy :)

 

We have started taking family bike rides after dinner. Which means poor Madeleine has to wear a helmet too. Can't you tell how thrilled she is?

The boys were washing the cars :)
