2013 :: week 23

Sunday evening while we were in our backyard Will started rolling around in the grass. He then informed us it was his favorite thing to do.

Monday afternoon we went to the pool. It took Lauren a long while to warm up to the water. She took a couple of spills in the bath over the past few months (because she insists on standing) and so she's been taking things slow with the pool this year.

Tuesday was rainy, but we still ventured out to library storytime and lunch. While we were out and about Will kept wanting to jump in puddles. When we got home I let him and Lauren run around in our driveway for a bit. Unfortunately for the kids our driveway is pretty flat so there weren't many puddles. We still had fun though.

Wednesday afternoon it felt like it had been rainy forever. We went outside to run around in the yard like we had Tuesday and I noticed music coming from the pool. Upon further investigation I discovered the pool was open, so we decided to go. Apparently they only close if lightning is detected in the area. So what if it was 66 degrees with the occasional drizzle? I figured we had nothing to lose and we ended up having a great time. We were three of about six pool patrons. It was nice having the place to ourselves, Lauren had time and room to explore and get comfortable. And Will had a ball pretending he was a mean hippo.

 

It was so fun watching the kids dance their little hearts out Thursday night. 

Friday we picked Tony up from the airport after his latest trip to DC. Lots of travel means there is a lot of work for him to do, but we all look forward to having him home again.

Saturday morning we went to Costco to pick up a few things. They were giving out watermelon samples and Lauren chowed down. Will was grossed out when she started eating the rind.
