Will and Lauren noticed some bugs on the trees as we were walking to our car after church last Sunday. While Anthony and I visited with friends they got sticks and attempted to flick the bugs away. Both kids are fascinated by bugs. TJ left for DC about an hour after we got home from church.

Monday was the start of a long, hot week. That afternoon we hit up the pool with Melanie and Laura one last time. The kids had fun playing with their aunts, racing across the pool. The next day Melanie and Laura headed to Utah with my mom to visit my grandparents and get Laura moved in to a new apartment in Utah.

Lauren had been showing quite a bit of interest in potty training over the past few weeks. I saw that Pull-Ups were on sale at Target, so we stopped by Target to buy some after we picked Will up from school. Lauren had a few great days, and sadly lost interest by the end of the week. I probably should have picked a week when TJ was in town to start the potty training party.

Will will allow me to pitch to him as long as I am willing. Between Anthony being gone and the hot temperatures the two of us spent a lot of time playing baseball in our front room. Will likes to go through the Royals lineup and when he doesn't feel like the "hit" was good enough he calls it a foul so he can get more pitches.

Lauren has been taking great care of her babies this week. She has about a dozen "kids" in her room taking naps at any given time. She is constantly telling us we have to whisper, and came out of her room demanding to know "what on earth is going on?" in a threatening voice that TJ claims sounded a lot like me. Lauren is the mom and Anthony and I are the grandparents. She calls me Grandma whenever she is dealing with her babies. She takes things seriously.

We met up with Will's good friend Sam and his family at the park Friday morning. It had been a few months since we had gotten together with them and it was fun to catch up. The boys loved climbing and exploring with each other.

The air conditioner in our car has been spotty for awhile and finally decided to give up this week. It was great timing because despite the fact that this week has been one of the hottest of the summer (very humid with highs in the 90s) my mom is in Utah and let us use her van while we are getting it fixed. Saturday we spent a few hours at the pool. It's so hot outside the water felt delicious.

I love Lauren's demands that you guys "whisper" when her babies are sleeping! Its so interesting what comes out of children's mouths and its not usually exactly what they have heard their parents say -- its simply what they THINK they've heard their parents say (from their point of view).
Your commentary cracks me up. So does Will's knowledge of the line-up of the Royals. He probably knows the line-up of the Red Sox too, am I right?
