Oh my, has it been hot around here?! This weekend was the hottest I remember in a while so that meant early activities and lazy afternoons. Keeping the boys busy inside was a challenge!
Friday night, we had family movie night and had fun watching 'Gnomeo and Juliet'. After the boys went to bed, I did some sewing - managing to get a baby blanket made that night for a special little girl I'll meet this year - while Tim caught up on his "man tv".
Saturday morning, Tim went on a bike ride while I took the boys to the Y. I did a semi-quick swim in the indoor pool before taking them to the outdoor pool to play their little hearts out. And play they did! Cole used to be scared to get down in the pool and now he's trying to jump off the edge by himself. We stayed out there for close to an hour and a half and the boys were pooped. Cole even fell asleep on the short drive home, I can't remember the last time he did that. After lunch, we got them down for naps and enjoyed some quiet time to watch the day's stage of the Tour. The afternoon we just hung out around the house playing inside, outside, on the porch - just taking the play show wherever it wanted to go to be happy.
This morning, we decided to do a family bike ride early. We rode around the neighborhood and went to the lake to feed the ducks. The boys love to feed the ducks. It's so sad right now because not too many folks come out there with the heat and the ducks are super hungry, plus the water is very low in the lake. During naps, I did some more sewing - making a toddler blanket for an upcoming birthday - and Tim just hung out. We, again, stayed close to home and endured the heat best we could. By the boy's bedtime tonight, we were ready! They got their usual case of the Sunday night crazies and it was fueled by being inside quite a bit. Thankfully we made it through and start the busy roller coaster of another week tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Seriously! In Tim's truck going to pick up the boys Friday afternoon.
Ready to get in the pool.
Break / Snack time.
Cheese!
Eli is crazy when it comes to jumping in the pool.
He just goes for it! His confidence from swim lessons definitely shows.
Asleep on the drive home, still holding his drink and snacks.
Ready to ride Sunday morning - snacks in hand.
Eli & Daddy ready to ride.
Today's duck friends. This area is usually covered in water. The lake level is so low.
