Summer Fun

Another week of Summer down. Some awesome friends threw me a baby shower last Tuesday night. It was so fun and so weird to be opening gifts with pink and ruffles and headbands. I also got a new car seat (woo-hoo!) and a bassinet. The treats were tasty and so cute. It was a great night out! Here's what the boys were up to while I was party-ing it up. Dress-up. A baseball player and motorcycle rider:)

On Thursdays, the movie theater shows old kids shows at 10 in the morning. For only $2 you get in to see the movie, plus popcorn and soda. I took the boys to see Kung Fu Panda and our friends met us there. It was so fun! That evening, we went to Chick Fil-A for a little farewell get together for our good friend who is moving this week. It was fun chatting with friends and ignoring the boys playing on the playground:)

The next day was free meal day at Chick-fil-A if you dress like a cow. I wasn't up to it with my growing belly, but the boys sure were excited. I didn't get a picture of them dressed up, but here is part of Damon's costume...he wrote this sign all by himself (he looked at an actual sign and copied it)! We even ran into some friends, so the boys got to play a little longer than I had planned so I could chat more.

Barrett has had a lot of busy nights lately between town council meetings and church stuff, so we'd been telling the boys Friday night and Saturday were "play days/nights". We wanted to go camping Friday, but the realization that I'd have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, but not actually have a bathroom to use, caused us to nix that idea. It was a beautiful night, so we ended up picking up a Hot-N-Ready Little Caesar's pizza and took it to the park near our house to eat and fly kites. We even stayed long enough to catch fireflies!!

Our house is in desperate need of some de-junking and organizing. We spent a good part of the morning cleaning out our room. After lunch, we got all ready to go to the water park, but 10 minutes on the road we decided it probably wasn't the best day to go...it was cloudy and overcast. So, we turned around and went home, then got ready to go bowling. The boys have never been and were really excited. Unfortunately, they were still a little young and didn't enjoy it that much.

On the way home from bowling, we stopped by Fifers Orchards to browse and play and swing. We ended up buying some corn on the cob and seconds peaches. The boys swung and played. All fun and games end when your brother throws a bocee ball at you and it lands on your toe...and that's when we went home.

We love the fun moments we get together.
