Misc. August

August was another fast and furious month getting all of our summer fun in before school started. The boys discovered a fun little outdoor Music Park right by the pool we swim at.

And Will became a tad obsessed with his "dots."

The Belton cousins were in town for a week staying with my parents, so we got to have a lot of fun outings with them, including Mallory's first-ever Rangers game, movies, eating out, a giant waterslide, and lots of fun.

This picture from the backseat conversation cracks me up. These two are hilarious together. I'm sure the conversation was very deep. 

I think they enjoy each other's company just a little bit. :)

I went to a kids' consignment sale in August and found this book for $1. He couldn't put it down and is officially obsessed with all things Titanic. Tate is definitely NOT the person you want to talk to if you are going on a cruise anytime soon. :)

 We celebrated a major achievement of our good friend Mario...or Dr. Mario as he is now called.

August marked the end of Music Therapy lessons for Will. Going to see Ms. Debbie was truly a highlight of Will's week. He LOVED getting to sing songs and play instruments. This was my view each week. :)

Kid's toys are so funny to me. We have a playroom full of toys they barely play with. But then this $20 clearance schoolhouse "back-to-school surprise" got played with for several days in a row non-stop.

August News:  And there was a pretty big story in world news in August. Edward Snowden went into asylum after leaking NSA confidential information. I still don't fully understand all of the implications, but this was a biggie. It will be really interesting to see even 10-15 years from now where he is and what has happened.
