This was the first weekend that I was able to enjoy Flex/Summer hours...yay for three day weekends! But it's now Sunday night and everyone in the house is sleeping except me. As soon as I'm done writing this post, I'm headed up to bed as well. Clean sheets and a good library book await.
We have had a VERY busy few days. Mike was out of town for training Thursday & Friday, so Lori took Izzy Lou to gymnastics while I stayed home with Delaney (she goes to bed around 6pm, so someone has to stay home with her!). Friday was a rainy day, so we started it off with a trip to the pediatrician (Laney's 9 month check-up...will post about that next week) and then a trip to the library. We spent the remainder of Friday indoors playing.
Library Play
Saturday brought HEAT and HUMIDITY, ick. Mike took Izzy to her very first movie: Shrek 4. Mike said she loved the movie and ate popcorn and drank her juice the entire time. Love that they shared this together.
Laney and I went for a long run outside while daddy and Izzy were at the movies. Was good to be outside after Friday's rain; however, heat & humidity do not make for a good run.
Sisters
Saturday after naps we decided to get Izzy practicing on her Schwinn Roadster. She can pedal. She can steer. But putting the two of them together is taking some time. Mike said if we gave her a piece of gum that her head would explode! Lots of coordinating of gross motor skills for this feat. Mike decided to hook her up to a rope and pull her to get her to put all the parts together. We're still working on it.
Concentrating (Mike had to keep reminding her to look up while she was riding instead of focusing on her tassels and bell....ha!)
Izzy wanted to show me her monkey bar skills...she's getting quite good!
And Sunday morning we spent with Meg, Oscar & Jude...I'm sorry to say that we took no pictures. I will say that Izzy played in her first sandbox and she kept coming to me to wipe her hands off (the girl doesn't like to be dirty). At one point I noticed that she had sand on her face. I asked Izzy if she ate it. To which she replied, "No {crunch}." We had to swish water around in her mouth several times to get all the sand out of her teeth. We had a great visit with the Moosbruggers and don't get to see them nearly as much as we'd like.
After naps on Sunday, Mike set up a new slip-n-slide and the baby pool to keep us cool on a very hot and humid day. Jaime brought Luke and Jacob over to join in on the water fun. Even Aunt Molly came over to play!
These two are SO ready for the BIG pool that opens next weekend!

There's a Bug in the pool!
Love this view...Laney watching the two Bigs play

Wonderfully long weekend. Ready for a full week of work and then another long weekend. Pool opens next weekend!!! Mike will be partaking in many 500 events (Carb Day, annual golfing with the guys, and the race). This means POOL time for the girls. So. Excited.
