A few more pictures from August:
This is when we picked up Dorie from dog boarding when we got home from our Norway trip. As you can see, the kids and Dorie were very excited about this!
Sam has been making his bed every morning - with all of his toys in it. Hehe.
One of Mike's friends had a birthday party at the park, and they set up this cool water slide. The kids had a blast.
The girls made this crown for Max
One Sunday, Sam decided he needed a third eye

All the kids had a dentist appointment this summer. In Nora's x-ray, they noticed that she had an extra tooth above one of her front teeth, so they sent us to see the oral surgeon who did a 3D xray, and said it needed to come out since it was right up against the root of her permanent tooth. She had oral surgery to remove the extra tooth the Friday before school started. She healed up really quickly, and was back to her normal self in a couple of days. This picture is from the day of the surgery after we got home, where Dorie was hanging out and watching TV with her.
Max mostly likes to hang out upstairs. He often comes and pokes his head out through the railing to watch what is going on on the main floor, while remaining in his safety zone.
The kids filled Sam's tent with pillows, soft blankets, stuffed animals and put Sadie in there.
Ugh - Mike and I went up to bed one day to find that Sam had been practicing his artistic abilities on one of our bed pillows with a permanent marker. I showed this picture to Kate, and she said that it looked like he was drawing himself drawing on the pillow, with mom and dad finding him and being upset. HAHAHA!
Dorie loves to hangout in the knee-hole of the kitchen desk while I am working there. I call it her wolf cave.
We took the kids to the bank to set up their own little savings accounts so they can put the money they earn in there. This is a picture of Sam while we were in the waiting area. He loves money, so this made me laugh.
I helped Dorie take a "selfie". I think she was trying to roll her eyes at me
This is Max sound asleep on my pillow one morning. I was so jealous that he got to go back to sleep, but he is SOOO cute.

Dorie is not the only furry critter that loves tennis balls...
Nora finally finished earning enough money to get a new bike, so we took her to go get one. She loves it!
A picture from our neighborhood's annual cookie contest. Sam sure had a lot of fun going around and sampling all the cookies!
