2016 :: week 25

June 12

Lauren and I spent over and hour Sunday evening looking at my old photos. I've been trying to get my files organized and have one container of photos in my room. I originally pulled them out to find a throwback picture of my sister Jill for her birthday. Lauren LOVED the pictures. Her favorites were pictures from our wedding. I got out our wedding album the next day for the next day and she has pored over it.

The Chick-fil-A by our house offers a different item on the breakfast menu for free each week on Mondays. I thought it would be fun for the kids and I to walk their for breakfast Monday morning. I wasn't expecting it to be extremely hot and humid! It was over 80 degrees when we left our house at 8:15am. I don't think I had ever dined inside Chick-fil-A at breakfast time before. The kids loved having the play area all to themselves. Elliott loved crawling around with the big kids.

Lauren likes to hold Elliott in her lap. She has been doing it quite a bit this week and when I asked her about it she told me she was "putting him in time out for making messes," but that it wasn't a bad timeout because, "he likes me to hold him." The look on his face my beg to differ.

It was really hot this week. I don't think it set records or anything, but it was humid with temperatures in the high 90s every almost every day. We decided to change up our pool routine and go to Tomahawk on Wednesday. It was a lot more work than I'm used to getting everything in the car. We are so spoiled having a pool just down the street from us.

I took the kids to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Trip. It was one of the discounted kid's movies playing this week. This is one of the very few movies we have actually seen in the theater as a family (back in December). I was nervous about how Elliott would handle it. He did great! We got seats on the front row in the upper section, so Elliott could see what was going on from his stroller. He spent about half the time in the stroller and half in my lap. He didn't seem very interested in the movie, but I brought him a bottle and fed him lunch while we watched. When the people in the theater laughed he would clap his hand together in joy.

 We met the Sanner's at the Loose Park Spray Ground Friday morning. It was so crowded! The kids had fun running around. Lauren kept coming up to me yelling, "I'm soaked!" Will was busy manning one of the water guns or filling a water bottle up with water to dump on other kids.

Will had another great t-ball game. He got 3 great hits, 3 put-outs (or they would have been if they called anyone out) and did some awesome celebrating in the field. After the game we finally watched the first Harry Potter movie. Anthony finished reading the book to them on Thursday and they were ready to watch the before the book was closed. They enjoyed the movie and from comments they made while watching it, did a pretty good job of paying attention while Anthony read. Will told me the funniest part was when Hagrid gave Dudley a pigs tail and the grossest part was when Harry stuck his wand in the trolls nose. Now on to book two!
