Where to start…today was BUSY….got up, brushed teeth, ate breakfast, got dressed and headed off to swimming. Today was even fun at swimming for Trey because Nana went in the kiddie pool with him while the big boys had their lessons. He’s been so patient during the lessons but he wants to be in the pool so badly.
Came home shortly for a bite to eat and a little lie down (or supine….that was for you, Allie!) before heading off to speech. Dee came with us to speech today and she was glad she got to meet Julia and B. Carlos was his now-typical goofball self and didn’t really settle down and get work done. He did get homework to do so hopefully we can get things done during the week. It was the last time Carlos gets to see B, unless she does some private speech therapy !
We stopped in at Steelhead to see Gay’s new office and chatted with the ladies there for a few minutes. We’d promised to take them to Coldstone Creamery for some green apple ice cream with gummy bears, got there but Trey and Carlos couldn’t settle themselves down long enough for us to order. It was quite traumatic when we told them all we were leaving without ice cream. The van ride home was not pleasant, as they were all crushed that they didn’t get their treat. Levi was a rockstar at ice cream, and was going to get some cookies in the car as a reward since he shouldn’t have been punished for the little boy’s behavior BUT….he was bawling and couldn’t pull it together so he lost that as well. That lead to a chorus of bawling and screaming. It was lovely…not so much.
We came home and got to have dinner with my cousins, Nathan and Andrew and Andrew’s girlfriend, Mindy and Nana and Papa. Andrew and Mindy live in Montana so we don’t get to see them all that often and the boys were showing off in a gigantic way. We got out the parachute and I don’t know if the boys had more fun or the grownups. You’ll see by the video. The other video is the boys running in circles, this will prove just how amped up they were. Nathan’s watching in the background…is this how he babysits? 🙂

Wild Boys –
Exciting day tomorrow, our friend Jani (who moved away a few months ago) is coming back to visit us. I just can’t wait, we have missed her SOOOOO much. She ran the Parent and Child Center and we got to see her a couple of times each week when we took the boys in to play. It was so nice to have someone to chat with about parenting and life, I do miss our talks and friendship but realize that people have to move on in life sometimes. It will be great to see her and catch up and see what’s been going on with her since her move.
