I Survived!

Well I survived! I've made it 30 days as a single, stay at home mother of two! With only a short period of temp. insanity during the first few weeks. Scott comes home today and I couldn't be happier.

(not a picture of us but sure looks like it! HA!)

No inhibitions!

Need I say more!

How cute is he?!?

(thanks for all your help Jenna)

In the summertime, when the weather is hot . .

go swimming with friends,

eat popcicles,

run around half naked,

and don't forget to share your toys with your brother!

milestones

Henry rolled over this past weekend! (11 weeks old)

Play Date

We had so much fun today with Jenna, Caroline, Will, and Jack! Thanks for the play date and we can't wait to do it again.

Katie LOVES to swing, so that was our first stop at the park.

Doesn't every kid like to play in the dirt.

A little time on the slides

Henry, just hanging out watching all the fun.

Having a little fun of his own!

Nursing Henry - everybody has to eat right?

Back to the swings with Jack

Someone got tired of having her picture taken

A quick tea party with mom before we leave

Pizza for lunch

Nap time. . .

for Henry at least

girls will be girls

Fell asleep on the way home planning her escape back to Jenna's house

Nothing says summertime like...

a traveling ice cream van!!!

Katie sees and hears the ice cream man every afternoon and runs to the window (although she was more interested in the fact it has stickers all over it than what was inside). Well, I gave in and got us a drum stick to share. First of all, what a rip off! And second of all, I was unsure the toothless man could count back the change from a $5 bill for a $2 drum stick (and he certainly wasn't going to get any help from the 500 lb woman on a snack break in the front seat). But it was worth every dollar of it just to see this face!

PURE BLISS!!

This weekend was full of swimming,

(ice water takes a little getting use to)

(okay floaties and a tube may be too much but she forgets she's only two)

(working on his pool side "tan")

(suckers for everyone!)

family reunions,

and baseball games.

("go team! . . wait, where's my stickers?")

(don't worry Henry, it'll get more interesting when you learn the rules)

Henry's first giggles!

Last night was the first time Henry actually chuckled at something funny! It was so precious. I must say I have a real crush on this little man!

Katie's ABC's

Now that I got my video to upload, I had to go back and post this one of Katie singing her ABC's! And how cute is Henry tring to steal the show! She thinks it's funny now but it won't always work that way.

Summertime ingenuity

Before you see this video, let me explain how this went down.
First, I saw these kids playing up and down the street in front of my house on these tiny motorcycles. They caught my eye because they were in everyone's driveway. Then, I saw a young mother walking around the block with her baby in a stroller. This too caught my eye because I should be out doing that instead of eating cookie dough like I was. The street got quiet for a few minutes but then I hear the motorcycle again. My eyes peak out the window and in disbelief . . . I see the stroller being pulled behind at a relatively high rate of speed - and IT TIPS OVER!!! As the young boy is nonchalantly picking the stroller up, I realized that there was no child passenger (thank goodness). Once my panic subsided, I couldn't help but laugh and get out my camera!! Later, he got tired of pulling around an empty stroller and convinces his sister to go for a ride. Thankfully she was too heavy and they called it quits!
