This is going to be a long post...and a random one, at that. Bear with me. This is just a cute picture of Laney Bug learning to walk with a push-behind toy. She's super close!
Izzy's gymnastics classes are on hold until the Fall, as we have signed her up for swim lessons at the Monon center all summer. Class was supposed to be held outdoors; however, the weather was lackluster all day Saturday. Please excuse how horribly the pictures turned out at the indoor pool:
Swimming to get toys and putting them in the basket
Diving for toys
Saturday afternoon my girlfriend Lori came over for most of the day to watch the girls while we had a Funster event. Each of the year's events are completely and totally random and this one did not disappoint. We went to the 1st Annual Man Olympics (think Beer Olympics for charity). Our team was called the Spotted Cow (Mike & Clay both have family in Janesville, Wisconsin and their fave beer is Spotted Cow).
The day's events consisted of 8 events: Relay, Yard Poker, Slime Hunt, Tug-of-War, Dodgeball, Cornhole, Trike 500, Ladder Golf, Beer Pong and Water Balloon Assault. I am not making this up. In fact, the group who hosted and created this idea are a group of physicians. Drunk physicians. Ha! Here was the trophy, which we did not win: 
This was a very well-organized event:
Scoreboard
Sober Relay: consisted of doing crazy things such as smashing egg on your head, pouring beer down your britches, and chugging a beer.
Mike & Maggie had to do a wheelbarrow
In between events
Front of the house hosted the Trike race:
We were up against another team, each of us had to do two laps and in between the laps we had to chug a PBR. Nice.
Water Balloon Assault: catapulting water (& paint)-filled balloons at a human target!
Mid-day drinking the team mascot beer
Dodgeball: If you got out, in order to get back in you had to chug a beer.
We had SO much fun and are looking forward to competing again next year. I have never been a part of anything like this and must say I was a bit nervous about a full day of drinking, as I don't get out much these days. Mike and I had a blast and couldn't have done it without Lori's help with the girls and Jeremy's picking us up at night. Thanks guys!
Sunday was pretty low-key. Mike worked in the yard while the girls and I went to Jaime's house for a playdate. After naps we headed to the pool for a few hours. And tonight the girls were in rare form, snuggling and wrestling and laughing hysterically at each other. Mike and I literally just sat back and watched them have nothing short of some silly sister time. I love how close they are getting!
Jammy time fun
After Laney went to bed, I was sorting through my jewelry drawer and Izzy wanted to try everything on. She is so stinkin' cute...she always pulls up a stool and "puts on" my makeup and jewelry. Had to snap a pic of this:
Too cute!
