Heroes Everywhere

It's August 8th, and I realize this is my first blog post of the month. And that I only posted 4 times in July. And that I promised in June to post more often.

Please, stop with the guilt. I can't handle it. I'm an only child. It's always MY fault.

OK....let's get on with the update....because this may be all I can come up with until 2013.

We've enjoyed big summertime fun around these parts. Fletcher's buddy Max stayed with us for a week. We discovered the fun of four.

No littles were hurt in this game of chicken.

 We enjoyed Happy Hour, Sonic-style.

So hot outside, even Mr. "I don't eat anything frozen" pounded a milkshake. 

It may be summer, but the Hall Academy for Classical Studies is still in session. So we took a field trip to the Museum of Discovery. Today's lesson: three pulleys are better than one.

Guns a-blazin'

Hold very still and the nails will not rip through your flesh.

The newscast on channel K-PUNK.

When we heard a local library was hosting a carnival called Lehmanpalooza, we knew we had to go. It did not disappoint.

Inflatables are fun no matter where you're from.

An unscripted moment of brotherly affection

Wheeeee!!!

Fletcher won this door prize.
He's trying to convince his little brothers  to "earn" it through forced labor.

 We wrapped up Max's visit with a night at the AR Travs game.

Tuesday was National Night Out at our neighborhood pool. Thomas got a huge kick out of the firemen and their truck.

The police were also there. Thomas was very curious about the siren and spotlight. Somethings transcend culture when it comes to little boys.

And our favorite hero of all....Spiderman!!
