Weekend Update

We did a lot this weekend.  We had absolutely nothing planned. besides haircuts for the boys.  And sometimes, no plans make for the best weekends.  We got haircuts early Saturday morning and since it was rainy, we went to the Magic House.  Better get our use out of that membership.  It was packed - it seemed as though all parents wanted out of the house and this was next best thing than dealing with rain in the summer. 

After the magic House a quick lunch at Jason's Deli and then home for some much needed naps.  We decided the boys would be crazy at night if we didn't get them out to play a little more.  So we ended up at the Y swimming.  Both boys are doing amazing in the water.  They really don't have much fear of the pool, which is good and bad.  I have yet to put either one in water wings or puddle jumpers at the Y.  They love jumping off the side, using the kick boards and of course the bubble couch.  I wish I had pictures of the bubble couch!

On Sunday, we had nothing planned except mowing the yard.  Of course the boys had to jump in and help with that task. 

Afterwards, Scott and I decided that we were going to try out the free babysitting at the Y.  It went well for Gabriel, he loved having "teachers" and playing with new toys. I had one of the teachers pop in while I was on a treadmill, say Bennett kept crying.  So I went over 5 minutes later to check and he was comfortably sitting on a teachers lap playing with a puzzle.  I ended up staying out of view and waited for Scott to finish working out.  We treated the boys to Starbucks for doing so well. 

Later that afternoon, the boys helped Scott hang the new curtains and curtain rod in the living room.  As you can tell, the boys were all ready to help with their tools and safety glasses.  We love the new look to our living room and the bit of color that helps with all the brown.

 

 

After our home improvements we took the boys for a walk in the wagon.  On the way to the playground Gabe enjoyed the ride.  But he decided that he wanted to pull Bennett all the way home.  And really, who are Scott and I to deny him that fun.  When we got home he was so sweaty, but he loved it.
