We're still here!! Just not much exciting happening. This past week, the boys got new shoes and that was a quick adventure. There's a great kids / women's shoe store that we love so I picked the boys up from school early one day and took them to have their feet measured and pick out new shoes. I'm really really quick when it comes to that! Only tried one shoe on each boy and we were done and gone. Eli got new shoes because he wore the old ones out, let's hope these last a little while. Cole got his first pair of shoes - some fun Stride Ride blue sneakers - because he's close to walking and he needs his own shoes, not Eli's hand-me-downs.
Friday night we tried to go to the pool but the only one who got wet was Eli as he jumped in the water and then it thundered so we had to leave. It must have been the fastest pool trip in history. Saturday we did our normal Y visit and I did a spin class / did a quick run. After lunch and naps, we did make it back to the pool and actually we all got wet this time. However the water was very hot and it was miserably hot outside. We made the most of it and spent a lot of time in the big pool. Today, I did a short bike ride before taking the boys to Lowe's (note to everyone: if you buy something and it goes on sale within 30 days, they'll give you the sale price. I got a 20% refund of our frig purchased 10 days ago!). Then we went to Ryan's house for a play date. It has been a while since Eli & Ryan have gotten to play together and, even more important, a long while since Carol & I have had a chance to catch up. This afternoon we did a family grocery store trip, opting not to brave the heat again for the pool. Family grocery trips have actually started being fun because I send Tim & Eli around the store on a hunt for a few items at a time off our list. Eli loves finding the item and then yelling for me as he gets close to me and announcing what items he found. It sounds silly but we do have fun and it keeps everyone happy while shopping. The boys are now sleeping and it's time to get set for another week.
Eli being silly Friday night before our failed pool visit.
This is Cole's new favorite thing to do. He climbs in and out of his wagon walker.
Such a sweet face!
Saturday, Eli started putting his head under water and announced to me that he was swimming. He did it over and over.
Going under.
Cole had lots of fun at the pool as well.
He loved being pushed around in the dump truck.
Eli climbed on the play structure, announced that he was a life guard and blew his whistle.
Super Star Cole this morning.
Eli & Ryan - how did they get so big?!
Cole getting a ride from Daddy.
THIS is what happens quite a bit in our house. Dump truck / wagon races. Usually Cole is pushing the wagon walker but this time Tim was pushing him and chasing Eli. Lots of fun, noise and laughter when this is going on. I love that Tim got in on the action.
