Never a Dull Moment

We had a fantastic weekend full of things to do. On Friday night we, well I should say Rick did all the yard work. I washed both cars (its been a while now and WAY overdue). Then we stayed outside to chat with the neighbors.

On Sat. we spent 2 hours in Walmart. (it was a new one, and very nice I might add) We had a very long list of items we needed to get ready for our big trip to the Hammitt Family reunion next week. While we were there it was, as always, full of very exciting moments. Such as Parker going peepee on the floor. She has been potty trained since March and typically does not do things like this. We are coming to find out she has a phobia of the public potty. (well who doesn't right?) No worries Walmart has these, clean up sections. We were surprised too. It was complete with bags, thick pads for wet messes & paper towels. How about that? I must say we were impressed ourselves & glad that was the isle she happened to pee at! :)

We then went on to Mason's party. Griffin & Carson's good friend. They had a blast with the water balloons & I will post pictures as soon as April sends them along. The party was a Cars theme (the movie Cars) and they love that. They held onto their goodie bags for, well until today and its Monday. They even brought them to church on Sunday.

On Sunday we went to church, then to lunch with our friends Kristen, Eli & Meredith. We went to Rudy's. They have this sweet family with one child & must think we are just a walking side show. Not only are there a lot of us, there is never a dull moment. For example, Parker spilled a huge cup of water all over herself and was cold. So she ate in her panties, yes at a restaurant. Then we went swimming with them that night at their pool and I had dressed her into her dry clothes, a skirt & top. I turn my back for 2 seconds and she is wading in the pool, now in a wet skirt! Go figure. So back in panties & a shirt. Aughh!! I will be glad when the "terrific twos" come to a halt. :) In the mean time the boys were jumping off the side of the pool and some how Carson jumped on top of Griffin and ended up with his first black eye. Boys will be boys. Cooper had a great night until Parker came up and "patted" his back. He then did a nose dive into their carpet and his top teeth that were coming in started bleeding. Poor little guy, he's just trying to keep up with the big kids.

This is just a typical day in our lives...

That was our exciting weekend. Next week we head out for an adventure to IL. The boys are so excited. We have been putting our USA puzzles together and tracking our drive there. I am busy making a million lists before the big packing job on Monday.

Kiddie quote of the day by Parker "You're Amazing Poops" (she was talking about Cooper who she calls Poop Poop Ben, maybe we should have thought of the nicknames before we named our sweet boy)
