My computer crashed the other day, so I'm just posting pictures of our traditional day at Prairie Pines. Enjoy!

Funnies

When G&G visited from Arizona in July, they left a couple things behind. This would be one of them. Jake made a trip there this past weekend, and when Reece found out that he was going to see them, he asked Dad to return this to Grandpa. Haha! He saved this little item all this time.

Reece is also starting to save toys to blow up on the Fourth. He had this toy for less than 24 hours when he made the final decision. It cracks me up! His little brain is moving too fast for me!! I can't keep up!

A Kids Life

Riley had his final concert as an elementary aged kid. It's kind of sad thinking of this, but he will have two strings concerts this year, so I will hang on to that.
It was such a cute concert. It was all about kids who don't know how to entertain themselves without technology. Hmmmm.... Sounds familiar. It started out with a kid giving his usual daily routine, such as, waking up, texting good morning to his sister, emailing his breakfast order to his mom.... Etc. It was funny! The power goes out, so no one has signal or a way to charge their gadgets and it's up to grandma and grandpa to teach the kids how to play and make fun like in the good old days.

My Silly Boys

I love these goofballs!!

Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince

We finished the 6th HP book...possibly in record time. Since our lives are so busy these days, I allowed Riley to watch the movie before he wrote his "review." Honestly, things are getting so intense, I couldn't wait to see it either, so we could get going on the final book!! We started reading almost 2 years ago, so we are feeling pretty excited about making it this far. Here is Riley's summary...

Bellatrix and Narcissa ask Snape if he can help Draco Malfoy. Snape makes the unbreakable vow to help Malfoy. Harry is waiting for Dumbledore to come to the Dursley's then Dumbledore takes Harry to an old friend, Slughorn, to see if he will come back to teach at Hogwarts. Then Harry goes to the Burrow. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine go back to Hogwarts. Slughorn gets Potions and Snape got Defense Against The Dark Arts. Harry got to be in Potions but didn't have a book for Potions. Slughorn let him have a book from the cabinet and later discovered that it belonged to The Half Blood Prince. Dumbledore shows Harry a memory that is messed up. Dumbledore wants Harry to get the true memory from Slughorn. Harry gets the memory by using Felix Felicis that he got earlier, which is a lucky potion. Dumbledore shows the true memory and brings Harry with him to find a Horcrux. After they find the Horcrux, Snape kills Dumbledore. Harry fights with Snape and figures out Snape is the Half Blood Prince.....This leads us to the final book!
