Loudoun has decided all of a sudden if there are leaves in the pool, he doesn't want to swim.
----------
Luckily, we don't mind skimming the pool for him, because in the last week alone, he has learned to do front and back flips under water, grab items from the deepest part of the pool and dive from the side of the pool and off daddy's shoulders. Now that's progress!
----------
Barkley hates the water, but that doesn't stop Loudoun from trying to coax him in the pool.
----------
We have gone out every night in the past week as a family on evening walks....Rick and I walk the dog, and Loudoun and Avalon take turns driving her new car. It's so nice to get out together.
----------
I made cake balls this weekend (minus the chocolate covering, they are already sweet enough), and they were a huge hit with everyone in our family. Especially me.
----------
Because of the cake balls, and a new friend I met on the internet, I am back to working out to Jillian Michaels again. It feels good, even though I cannot move and have needed advil the past 2 days straight.
----------
The kids sleep in the playroom for "movie night" every weekend. And sometimes, they fall asleep in funny positions.
----------
Rick and I are both counting every single dollar between now and payday, so we got really creative with all of our meals this weekend, and they ended up better than normal!
----------
Avalon had her 4 year check up on Thursday. She weighed in at a whopping 28.25 pounds and 38 inches. Maybe one of these days she'll be able to switch to a booster seat in the car....maybe before she turns 16.
----------
I bought this print from another blogger's website, and Rick and I just love it on our mantle.
----------
Loudoun starts robot camp tomorrow for a week, and he couldn't be more excited. Yay!
----------
Maybe it's all the sun this weekend, but I am exhausted and can't seem to stay awake...so I'm off to bed!
Have a great week!
Love the crazy sleeping picture! And robot camp? Coolest thing I've heard of ever!
ReplyDeleteYAY for new friends motivating each other!
ReplyDeleteand p.s. I LOVE YOUR DOG! and that print on your mantel. Fantastic!
Aw! Cute little Avalon! I will always remember that I was 5 feet 1.75 inches tall and 82 lbs at my freshman physical. Teeny! I didn't turn out too bad, right? She's healthy and good things come in small packages. Who knows. Maybe one of these years she'll have a huge growth spurt and that will be that.
ReplyDeleteLoudoun? Freaking out about a few leaves? Hilarious. That is sooo NOT you or Rick. I love that he has learned all that stuff in the pool. Such a California kid!
And us? I got interrupted mid-typing by the tornado sirens and had to take the kids down to the basement. Gotta love the midwest in the summer!
I love the photos of your kids, admire your exercising....and join you in the pool fun and walks :)
ReplyDeleteLove those evening walks together!
ReplyDeleteMy boy will be 4 at the end of August and he only weighs 29.5 lbs. I know how it is to have to get the "food talk" from the pediatrician every time. Hang in there, mama :)
