last week was our first week home from vacation, and we managed to keep ourselves quite busy! we cashed in on our very first family pool membership, and we are loving it! a nearby pool offers an “august only” membership, and we are so excited to be a part of it! we went for some dinner and chick-fla-flay at the pool! (or “oo-eye (french fry) cow” as anna calls it!)
three little fishies (or two sharks and a duck!?) all in a row!
one fish, two fish!
last week held a great week of vbs with a water-play day afterwards. it was a HUGE hit!
charlie and hudson and william!
william, the lover of all tiny things, found a new tiny thing to play with this past week . . .
I told this boy that I have my eye on him!
and, that afternoon, we did our best to hold it together while we waited for Daddy to come home from work!
this weekend we stayed home to do some work around the house, and we played a rousing game of hide-and-seek!
Daddy is a really good hider
Little Miss has become quite obsessed with two things: Nutsy, the mascot of our local baseball team (she asks about and prays for him daily) and ‘Weet ‘Wog (Sweet Frog) . . . She begged her Daddy to take her to ‘weet ‘wog on Saturday, and we had a great ole time! These two love frozen yogurt! The whole time we were there, Anna pointed to every frog and squealed “ ‘Weet ‘WOG, DADDY! ‘WEET ‘WOG!” She loves the frogs, and I think she likes the frozen yogurt a little bit, too! The cashier, bless his heart, gave Anna a SF bumber sticker, which we leaned on a shelf in her bedroom—she points to it and talks about it multiple times daily. So funny!
and, negotiating . . . toppings, flavors, a little of this for a little of that . . .
don’t we all want to finish our ice cream this way?!
we finished out our weekend with another special request . . . a movie night with our boys. we only watched about 20 minutes, but it was so much fun and a treat for us all! These boys love being together and being with their dad—it is really so dear to me!
and, these are from today—hot off the press! I had to post them because I fee like Sister is changing so much and so quickly! I adore this little dress of hers—our friend Daley made it (it’s a pillowcase dress) and passed it down after her Harper wore it. I monogrammed it last night! OH, I just love it!
And, here she is after an evening swim at the pool . . . all ready for bed! I love this little lady! We have been calling her the Mayor, because she waves and says hello to EVERY SINGLE PERSON she sees. At the pool, she kept asking the life guard to watch her jump into the water! Little Miss is not afraid of some attention . . . or a small fan club! She is a hoot! She loved being in the pool but she turned to me at one point and said “Ni Night, Mommy. Bed. Nap. Yubi (Lovie) and Bathy (Paci)” . . . and we knew, it was time for bed!
Grab your Yubie, Bathie, and Bwankie and snuggle in! Nighty night from Anna Bug!
