Life has slowed down significantly in the past week. Within about 10 days, we had our last baseball game (e.g. no more weeknight practices), our last Bible study (that we hosted in our house every Wednesday evening), and Payton completed his first year of Cub Scouts (which also means no more weeknight meetings).

Maybe this is a little taste of what life will be like in a couple weeks when school lets out. Only 16 more days left... not that Payton's counting or anything. :)

So, with a little more freetime on our hands, we've been...

Attending a LEGO workshop at our local library with Payton's budding, Max & Quinn:

 Playing "baseball" on the back porch:

 He's definitely been watching his brother!

 We just have to remind Payton that if he wants to hit off the tee, he has to go outside. That kid can whack a ball!

 Painting with sidewalk paint:

 Which of course includes painting yourself too!

Rollerblading while letting go of helicopter balloons:

(What? Like that's not normal?)

Going to the park and experiencing nature:

And getting big-boy haircuts:

 He looks so big to me now!

 Of course he wouldn't sit still for a good picture, so this is all I could get.

Totally shows his personality though. :)

And while our calendar has let up, don't think for one second that life in this household has slowed down one bit. In fact, I think with little man practically running now, life has sped up quite a bit!
