Summer:Week 2

While our second week is not quite over, there is a lot of stuff that has happened and some BIG things to come!!

"Buzz and Woody" (Toy Story 3) has passed up "Minions" (Despicable Me) as our favorite, and thus most requested thing to watch.

Do you ever find yourself willing the plot to change?

Ugh. 

WHY couldn't they make it up into the attic??

 Can you believe how big he is?!

 Sweet Emily's birthday party was supposed to be Tuesday evening at the jumpy house. Unfortunately, we had to cancel it because of an issue with Weston (nothing's wrong, just precautionary). So, we headed over for our own little play time.

NOT amused with the chicken wrangling.

 We are still taking bike rides in the morning, evening or both. Leave it to Superman, aka Daddy, to find a miserable awesome hill to ride up,just around the corner from our neighborhood.

They worked hard!

 Tuesday, Emily start swimming lessons. I was anxious if she was going to be ok, seeing as that she HATES to get water in her face and eyes. But, she did great! She was putting her face in the water, and holding her breath for a couple of seconds by the end of the first lesson.

Emmy has started drawing people and faces. Below is a semi-complete family portrait. She was naming the people off as she was drawing them. I hung it on the fridge and she still goes up to it and points out the each person.

(ok, so I am tired of fiddling with this pic. I edited it to label all the people, but now can't get it to rotate or show at a normal size. Maybe if you click on it, it will enlarge...)

We have biked over to Aunt Ami and Uncle Scott's neighborhood park a couple of times so the kids can swing together.

Cutie Pie Addison came back from a big trip with new tricks:

Giving sweet hugs

Saying "hi!"

And now we arrive at today.

I was able to complete Summer Project 2: Cleaning out and organizing the hall linen closet.

It doesn't sound like a big deal, but after 6 years of being one of our "catch all" storage locations, it was a little bit of an undertaking.

It is now nicely organized and tidied...and even holding all of the many kid blankets.

Unfortunately, it has not been a good day with/for the monkeys.

It's a full moon tonight, if you haven't noticed.

Geez!!

I did have a brief moment of guilty parental bliss when i shot them both with water guns (much to their delight).

Don't judge me. You have no idea...
