More Bits Of Summer

A few odds and ends for the last week or two...

We braved our first (and hopefully last!) garage sale. It seemed like the quickest way to get rid of an overabundance of baby stuff, but was definitely not worth the hourly rate! We are still trying to figure out what to do with all the bins/baby things left. It did rain for a bit, which is why the kids are under the table. :)

We have had some gorgeous weather and usually cool for July. We have been absolutely loving it and spending tons of time outside. This includes lots of sandbox time!

Beach Ball Fruit Pizza - turned out quite yummy and was a good one for my little helpers. :)

Typical Drue Day...three little monkey's hanging on the jungle gym. :)

Drue days are usually park days, so we go at least twice a week!

Library Pool Party - As the final activity for the summer reading program, the library books the city pool (ha ha just read that and unintentional pun! I love when that happens!) for just the kids signed up for the reading program. So not only do we get to go and swim with familiar faces, but its free! :) (See the back of Lorelei's head with Ellorie? That was my view most of the hour and a half, usually further away!) Then they even provided us with lunch afterwards. :) After lunch with a few friends, we headed over to the playground nearby to play a bit too. Great morning!

Flower from my girl. :)

This was an awesome Sunday. Jerry and Joyce came through Columbus on their way back from Wisconsin heading home to Texas. You may not remember, but they were the ones who led the launch team in starting 1C. A church friend decided to throw a quick potluck lunch and have a bunch of  families over so we could all visit with each other and Jerry and Joyce. Was such a fun afternoon. Added bonus? She has a pool. :) The kids had a great time swimming!

We were sooo excited when we found out Planes Fire and Rescue was coming out!

This became our Sunday late afternoon family outing.

 The second we walked out of the theater Makin said, "I want that movie."

Eight thumbs up!

We also took Drue mini golfing one day and Brad took the kids out golfing one afternoon so I could work on finding the laundry room and a few other chores that were overwhelming me.

We had to get Lorelei in for her Kindergarten physical and she was very anxious about it all day. The fun side is that she is in the 95% for height! :) That explains those poor sore leg muscles she has been having lately! :) The unfun part was a finger prick and four shots. :( This girl deserved a serious treat. This was her first trip to Yogurt City and she had a great time piling the goodies on her yogurt. Of course, little brother loved getting a treat too. :) Mine is the bottom right. Good thing we don't go here often!

Cannot believe we are already looking into buying school supplies. 

This Mom needs another month of summer!
