| The uses for blue tape are apparently more numerous than I had imagined. |

 |
| James decorated a poptart just like the residents of Krakatoa designed their homes in the book Twenty One Balloons. We read that story this year in preparation for the annual book party we have with some of our very good friends. |
 |
| Book party fun: I asked them to make strange faces. |
 |
| Happy babies. |

 |
| More camping fun: some of the daddies made a rope swing! |
 |
| Yummy food |

| I think these guys were excited to see each other after a summer's long break from co-op. |
And just for fun, I included some pictures from Augusts' past.

| And August 2005, when I was on some kind of modified bedrest while pregnant with Mercy. I wasn't able to do any lifting so the boys ate all their meals on the floor for a while. This looks like cinnamon toast for breakfast. |
Soccer and school start next week!
