Snapshots of Tuesday

Things are running on normal here. 

The Scooby gang has gotten back together after being separted by vacations and heat.

Liam was completely taken by my shirt today and called me "supermom" all day.  Talk about a confidence booster.  Liam also felt moved to wear his superman pajama shirt today, with cape.  Yes, we were matching. :-)

Everyone got a bath tonight.  That is always an accomplishment.

While we are hanging out at home, Andy (who was home for less than 48 hours) and Marcus are roughing it at Webelos (Boyscout) Adventure Camp.  From what I here from talking and texting with Andy (they're not that far from civilization), it sounds like Marcus is having a good time.  Andy's been nice enough to send me several pictures today.  So, here we go.

Marcus and his fire-I'm guessing he had the chance to build and start a fire.  Side note:  basically the entire state is in a burn ban=so no outdoor fires.

Marcus at work on a service project.

Service project group

The campers got to go "mountain climbing" (you know, on those big mountains in central Indiana).  The mountain was inflatable and they got to climb to the top.  Fun!  The other photo is Marcus participating in color guard. 

Marcus and Andy come back tomorrow.  Closing ceremonies are tonight, but tomorrow morning there will be open activities for the boys to do, if they want.  Since the weather is slightly better (90 degrees instead of 100), they will stay tonight instead of coming back late.  We sent Marcus with a disposable camera, too.  Can't wait to see what he thought was cool to photograph!

the scooby gang

Ewan has a little group of friends he is almost always with.  I like to call them the "scooby gang".  They range in age 4 to 6.  Two of them are in kindergarten and two in preschool.  They play together, they fight together.  They wander in and out of each other's houses all the time.  Ewan tries to direct the play of the group most of the time.  And, most of the time, they let him. 

What I was going to do was take a picture of Ewan laying in this box.  I think he said he was a cat.  But, all the kids wanted their picture taken.  I thnk they were all pretending to be cats.  So here they are:  Abby, Ewan, Nate and Delaney.

I did manage a close-up of Ewan.  That little guy curled up to fit into this box.  He is too flexible!
