Update: 4 Staples, 1 Tick, A Lot of Blueberries, and A Bouquet of Flowers

Corbin is officially our "accident prone" child. He has had 3 head injuries in the last 6 months. His most recent one, from an incident where he bounced off his bed head first into his nightstand on Monday night, landed him with 4 staples. He wears them proudly!
The boys love making forts and Corbin loves hiding in them.
Jaren is getting so fun! We think he will be crawling by the end of the month! He scoots and rolls all over the place. We have had to keep an eye on everything we keep on the floor they all become chew toys: shoes, legos, books, etc.
Jaren is almost too big for his Bumbo. He looks so big, but I love his chubby thighs!
Last night the boys went to Chuck E. Cheese to spend their tokens they earned while Nick was in Puerto Rico last week. They had a great time!
The library had a contest for the summer reading program the theme is "Catch the bug!" The boys made this lady bug! (Even though they didn't win, it was lots of fun.)
When Nick was out of town, Owen made a "camp out" in his closet. When I went to check on him and found him asleep nice and cozy.
The boys attended a summer camp this past week. It was a great break for me and the boys had a blast! We aren't sure where it came from, but I pulled a tick off of Owen's leg as he was getting into his pajamas one night last week. It took several attempts pry this yucky tick off him. We were really lucky that it hadn't "burrowed" yet! Gross!
A local farm has a "read and pick" event. They read a couple books and then the kids get to pick the fruit that is in season.
They had a great time picking blueberries -and they had even more fun eating them!
I love the matching head tilt!
The end of July was tough, given our move down the street and everything else that's been happening around here. Despite all this, Nick was still able to buy me some freshly picked flowers. Isn't he sweet?

I'm so sorry that you had to watch having staples put in...I think it is worse for the parent watching than the kid. :) The place you live sounds fantastic--sign us up!
