Zooey

It's that time of year again
The one that we all dread...
Hot season!

However
Zooey is all over it
And has found
The coolest place on the property
To hang out


It is an especially wise choice
Because right above...
Is the faucet...
So when someone comes
To wash their hands
She cools off
Even more

Smart dog!

Happy Happy Birthday Eston!

It is that time again
Another Birthday!

This time...
It is dear Eston!




And 
As you can see
He is now 5 years old!
Big man :)

For his birthday
We had his two favorite foods!
Pizza and Hamburgers



And everyone came for the party
Since the McCourtney's have
Such a large family
Eating out
Is super special


I think his birthday
Was a success!


And everyone kept saying
"I'm so glad
It is Eston's birthday!"

Thanks Eston!!!
Happy Birthday dear :)
And many more to come!

Learning Made Fun!

So it is a Saturday
Which means
A break from normal school

And yet the McCourtney children
Just love to learn!

It is sweet really...

So what we do
Is at the beginning of the morning
I make a list
Of WAY more things
Than we could even begin
To do in one day

Then we make another list
Of the kids names

Remember the game 
"Pick a Number Between"
Well
We put that game to use!

This is the result


The kids love it!
It's kind of fun for all of us
:)
You never know
What the next will pick

This evening
Enoch selected
Twister

I think it is his favorite 
Because even though
He is only 4
He is ridiculously good at playing it

So to make it
A little more challenging
We decided
To play where the kids
Have to play "properly"

Which means
Right hand and Left hand!
So
Out comes
The sharpie
And the kids
Are ready to play!

 

Way too much fun! 
Let me tell you

So once the kids
Start looking like this



You KNOW
The day was a success!
Yeah for twister!



Who says
Learning can't be fun!

 
P.S.
I realize
That Elizabeth isn't smiling...
I believe
This must have been
Her "Game" face
:D
