The Bostrom Family

Is there anything better than a lazy summer day? Well how about a lazy, cool, and rainy day? Today Max and I celebrated PJ Day. We stayed in our PJs all day. We sat on the couch, watching movies, and eating popcicles. It has been so nice and relaxing. I need to stay off my feet as much as possible right now so a PJ day was very appropriate.

Well she did it again! My grandmother made two of the cutest Hawaiian shirts for the boys. I can't wait to see them in these festive shirts. She is going to try to make Jeff one that matches if she can find a pattern (how cute would that be?!). We are so blessed to have her! She use to make cloths for my sister and I all the time when we were younger. It is exciting that she gets to make cloths for our boys too!

We decided to go for a walk this evening and get some fresh air. After the rain cleared out our evening was so beautiful! We stopped and talked to our neighbors for a while and her son told us that he and our other neighbor were about to do "extreme". It wasn't long until we found out what "extreme" is. Jacob (1st grader) and Isabella (3rd grader) rode their bikes through, ran through, laid in, stuck their faces in a ditch full of muddy water from the days rain. Max horse laughed the whole time we stood out their and watched them. I just know they were giving Max ideas for the future fun with Cooper. Needless-to-say it was a fun and entertaining evening walk. We can't wait to watch our boys play outside together.

What's the latest in the Bostrom house? Well, the cold that Max had last week traveled to his CC over the weekend and to his very own daddy today. Jeff woke up at about 3am and told me he was freezing cold. (Our house was a little over 70 because I had the windows open all day yesterday letting the warm air rush in.) Anyway, he was burning up as he still while he tries to res t on the couch in our wonderful den. We will be so happy when all these colds are over with. I'm glad the weather is changing, but we all seem to get sick this time of the year. Max is so thoughtful! He watch me put a cool cloth on Jeffrey's head and when it would fall off Max Man came to the rescue. He wanted to help take care of his daddy. What a wonderful son!

We had such a perfect Sunday as a family! Sleeping in is going to be a novalty very soon, so we enjoyed it. We did have to skip church because Max still has a runny nose and we didn't think any of his friends wanted a fever this week. After lunch we went to a park and walked around in the beautiful sunshine. We took the double stroller and Max kept putting his sippy cup in Cooper's seat...we wondered if he would try to put his cup on Cooper after he is born. When we got home-that is when the real fun started! Jeffrey set up our new tent and we played in it for 2 to 3 hours. I'm not really sure how long because we didn't even wear a watch Sunday. Max is going to love camping! He kept "running" as fast as he could right into the side of the tent because he knew he would bounce off of it. Max didn't have any toys in the tent, but he didn't seem to need them. He just crawled and walked and tried to climb all over that tent. I don't think we ...

So we had a yard sale on Saturday. We had some fun and made some cash...is there a better combination? Dad and Joanna even came over and brought their junk to sale and their 3 dogs (not to sale). Max had a great time exploring through the boxes of "treasures". When we woke up to set the sale up, it was 29 degrees, but by the end of the day it had warmed up to the mid 60s! It turned out to be a beautiful day for a yard sale. (Dad made a great video of the day and I will try to get it posted soon.)

I have taken a lot more pictures that I have shared with you and I thought I would take the time to let you take a gander. Max helped me make a loaf of bread. This is him washing the dishes for me. Dad always told me that he and mom had kids so th at we would wash the dishes...maybe he was right. Yes, Max Man is a natural camper! Of course this tent is in the house, but he sure is enjoying it. Here he is helping Jeff put our new bed together. What a good helper! A fun ev ening picnic...yes with the dogs!
