Where has the summer gone? Although I'm ready to be done with the heat, I can't believe we're already halfway into the summer season. The boys have been doing great. We keep cool by going to our local parks splash pad and playing in the kiddie pool in the back yard. I love that the splash pad is so close and so cheap! Quick way to cool off without spending a ton of money.
We took the kids to Monkey Joe's a few weekends ago. I wasn't crazy about the place. B had a good time but poor Logan kept getting trampled by the big kids and would get stuck inside of the bounce houses just bawling and crying. Brenden owned the place and made best friends with every girl in the place lol.
We took the kids to see fireworks for the first time. Usually we don't go because they are way past their bedtime but decided to try it. They enjoyed the fireworks, but not as much as mommy and daddy. They were asking to go home and go to bed lol. However when they were going off Logan kept saying "look at the Booo- tiful fireworks mommy!"
We are in the process of trying to sell our home and relocate to the Charleston/Huntington area of Wv. We've found a house that we love but we've yet to sell our current home. Moving will allow us to be closer to family and friends. I'm blessed enough to have a job that lets me work from home full time so I can move without losing my job. Great news! We've had really good foot traffic on our current home so I imagine it won't be on the market too much longer. Its been tough keeping up with the cleaning. Working from home helps. Instead of spending the morning fixing myself up for work I can do a quick house clean before starting my day.
I haven't been taking as many pictures as usual lately. I unjured my hand a while back. I pulled a lumbercal (sp?) muscle in my hand and the weight of the camera in my hand was straining the injury and making it worse. I backed off the camera a bit and I noticed a lot of improvement. And frankly its been so hot my lens fogs up every time I step outside! I've got lots of iphone pictures I'll be sure to update with, and hope to get back to using my big camera soon. The boys grow too fast to set down the camera for too long :)
Brenden's funny phrase for this post.... We record Wipeout for him. Its the only adult show we let them watch. Well we had two episodes DVR'd 1- battle of the military and 2- hotties vs nerds. So one day I put on the military wipeout and about 15 minutes into it he said "mommy, I don't want to watch this one, I want the one with the beautiful girls in it!" OH MY I am SO not ready for this yet lol!!!
Logan - gosh, logan says the funniest things all of the time its hard to just come up with something on the fly for him. Last night Sean had to work late and when he came home Logan said "daddy!!! I was SO worried about you" -- that cracked me up. I have no idea where he got htat phrase from, or that he even understands what being 'so worried' is.
Brenden has decided to move into Logan's bedroom. I thought it would be better for sleeping to keep them separated but B begs to sleep with logan every night so they share a room now. Logan's toddler bed was in the guest bedroom so now B just uses that bed and Logan is in the toddler bed. It doesn't work so well at nap time but for bedtime they seem to keep each other company and we have less resistance at bedtime. So we fully plan on putting their beds together once we move and let them share a room!
