Screen-free week challenge

Next week, June 19-25, we will be observing our 2nd annual Screen-Free Week! The boys have reluctantly agreed to the challenge, induced by the promise of extra fun no-screen activities (and by the fact that they have no choice in the matter!).

Anyone care to take the challenge along with us?

Catch-up

Here's what's been happening at our house:














Luke turned 4!















Heath lost his first tooth!
















We had a fun Easter picnic in the park with family.















We started building a house.















We learned that a construction site is better than a playground!

Trip to Southern Arizona

This post from our guest blogger, Adam.

This weekend,mom and dad took us to Tombstone,Bisbee,and Douglas. It was pretty fun,but near the end it got really boring. First we went to Tombstone. We explored town a bit, saw a "Shootout", went to the courthouse, and got ice cream. I got rainbow sherbet, Ian and Heath got cookie dough, and I forgot what Luke got. In Bisbee, we went to a mine tour, and then shopped around a bit in town. In Douglas, we just stayed at the Gadsden Hotel, and had DQ for dinner. The only boring part was driving home from Douglas. Some other things that happened on our trip are....

Going to the Courthouse

I died

Ian and Heath go to Jail

We almost get trapped in a mine

Look what we woke up to!

Two inches of snow! Of course, it had mostly melted by the afternoon, but we all enjoyed it while it lasted!

This is why we moved out here...
