Our first day of Summer Vacation

School's out....let the fun begin!

Jake started things off yesterday with a bit of body noise humor.
Of course.
He's a boy.
It's to be expected.

This activity should be done with adult supervision.
Not because it's dangerous.
It's just that the kids want the adults to admire their talent.
Said activity is inexpensive and will provide hours of entertainment.

The first thing you need is a straw.
Insert straw into your armpit
Be sure placement is correct. Straw must be inserted directly in armpit.
Close arm over straw. Blow.
Blow really hard.
Success!! A loud sound will be emitted that closely resembles a toot. Or to put it more delicately, a sound that resembles a whoopie cushion.
Next, Jordan gave it a try.
As did Zoey.
Jordan pretended to be riding a motorcycle. See? The possibilities are endless.
Zoey cannot make it work. What's up with that?
Jordan and Jake are all business. This is serious, guys.
Shortly thereafter, I heard this comment,
"MOM! Our armpits are all wet!"
Ewwww....
Gross.
Re-inserting the straw in the proper location.
Kate came to the fray late but with little success.

The male species must be genetically predisposed for outstanding ability in this area.

As for the older girls, they played school all day and lamented that fact that they were on vacation. I'm guessing that this is something unique to the female species.

I don't know where that leaves me, because neither activity sounded enticing. I spent the day in the basement going through boxes. Sorting, decluttering and throwing things away.
Yippee.
