Swimming and Ice Cream Cones

We had a rough week...to say the least. We are just so thankful to be able to have some time in the afternoon to swim and enjoy an ice cream cone treat. :)

Give Me Back My Bath-Loving Baby Please

This is at one full week of screaming through his bath. We did skip one day he managed miraculously not to get banana or applesauce in his hair nor use sunscreen, but every other night has been this. The only thing we can blame it on is the darkness of the bathroom and tiles...but our bath-loving baby is not a happy boy.

Update a few days later would be that he is slowly getting used to it. We let him sit in there a bit and watch Lorelei before putting him in so that seems to help...hoping it will be smooth sailing soon!

Playhouse

Lorelei is enjoying her play house we have been waiting a long time to set up for her. She has a cradle, changing table, washing machine and oven inside and especially loves just having a door. :)

Kiddie Pool Fun

We are love, love, LOVING having a backyard. So far we have gone out almost every afternoon after nap to play in the kiddie pool. This is almost the hottest part of the day, but it is not shady in the morning, so we choose to have a nice little shady spot and go after nap. Lorelei usually asks to go the second she wakes up. Makin is not totally sure he likes it, but I have gone in twice with them and then he loves it. He really loves the fountain from the elephant when we hook up the hose. :) They also love dumping the water on the patio and splashing in the puddles.

What They Are Into

Cell phones and anything with buttons. He prefers the real remotes for the T.V. :) He will also make a bee-line for any cell phone left in his reach. Thankful for fakes to keep him busy!













The Radio D.J. Still loves dancing to them and will try and find my favorite "Annie Ooo" Upon request. :)








Playing Turtle. Got this one from Caillou too. Every day I hear "Mom, where is the washing basket?"

Fresh Peaches

Lorelei loving the peaches from Nana, and loving that she gets to sit on the counter. :)

Touches Of "Homeyness"

Loving the little homey touches we have a few of in the new house. Kitchen towel with my red and coffee theme and flower plant from Heather (when we saw that cute little corner outside the door when she was visiting we were excited and I said something like, "its a great spot for something cute!" and she said, "Like a potted plant!" and I said..."I was thinking more like a pumpkin..." (we all know my track record for keeping plants alive!) and then when they came Friday she surprised me with it. We remember to water it every day!) , crock we splurged on getting off c-list just before the move because Brad and I both love it and have memories and just loving having a little bit of history there, and my new Sentsy, which smells WONDERFUL. :)
