Summer is coming to an end

We only have one full week before Ted is back in school. I am trying to use the tickets the boys earned from the summer library program. Today we went to Pump It Up since that's what Harry chose for one of his prizes. We had a fun time. Nate really seemed to enjoy running around and climbing and sliding down the big slide. I took him down the big slide shortly after getting there and then he wanted to back down several more times. I had to carry him up there and go down with him so I got a bit of exercise. It was fun but it wore me out as much as the kids I think. Harry's favorite was the big slide and Ted's favorite was the obstacle course.

Next week, we'll have to head up to the Farm to use Harry's other prize. Ted chose mini golf and swimming or skating so those will need to be used on the weekend when Bob is around. I don't want to try doing those with all 3 boys by myself. Nate got a book for completing his first 5 hours of reading. I'm not sure if he'll get the next 5 hours done in time. I think Ted has read over 20 hours this summer that we've recorded. He likes to read in bed before going to sleep and we haven't counted that time very much. I've probably said this a bunch of times but I'm so amazed at how much his reading has improved over this summer. He only starting reading this past spring.
