Summer Activities Week 3

We had quite a busy week this week! We had a visit from PopPop, who helped us with Jack's ENT appointment on Monday(he may need his adenoids out). To make things more interesting, Alexander woke up that day with his eye swollen halfway shut. We assume it was just a spider bite or something. Pitiful, huh?

Justin left for Charlotte, NC for work early Tuesday morning and will return Monday evening, so I practiced my Supermom routine with (so far) a fair amount of success. We reunited Alexander with his preschool friend Emma (and he asked her to marry him), had a playgroup at the park with MOMS Club friends, and took Kai to his two month well visit. We also met our new friend Zachary, my friends Betsy and Jerry's new baby. He's just a little older than Kai. Congratulations again, guys. Isn't he gorgeous?

From our summer activity list, we accomplished #16, "Make pudding," which was one of Alexander's ideas. He was excited to make something all by himself, with no help from Mom.

He also made a new friend (#24) while we were at our MOMS Club playgroup. Alexander's actually quite fond of making new friends and pretty good at it, so this was a pretty easy one to check off.

Today I cut the boys' hair and then let them play in the sprinkler (#17).

While I was putting Kai to sleep, the two older boys negotiated, organized, and executed their own game of Hide and Seek (#49). I was sort of impressed that they managed the game with no guidance!

Lastly, we finished up reading 10 new books (#15), including "Russell and the Lost Treasure," "Oh Say Can You Say Dinosaur," and "The Daddy Mountain." I think their favorite new book was probably "The Monster at the End of This Book." Classic.

We'd already checked off #29 from our list, "Have a Dance Party," but that didn't stop us from having another. I just love Jack's moves here.

And of course every dance party ends with this:


Aaaaaand, Kai is still cute and fat (and looks just like Alexander).
