Busy Summer Days

It has been a busy week for us the past week and I love it that way. Last Wednesday we just hung around the house and it was very nice. Last Thursday we had another pool playdate this time at Carissa's and the girls had a great time but boy was it hot. Last Friday was another day of cleaning up and playing around the house. We were also trying to rest up for what we knew was going to be a very busy weekend.

She loves to swept now by herself!

Last Saturday we went to my cousin Jon's house for a graduation party for his son Jacob. They have a lot of lady and Corinne loved just running in their fields. They also have a very nice pool so we had to try it out. Corinne loved it, but she is so comfortable in the water that she thinks that she can swim by herself and did not want to swim any other way. We were there for several hours and it was very warm so Corinne was really tired after this day.



The few minutes she would stay in with help!

On Sunday we went to my brother's to celebrate Father's Day and it was another very warm day. The kids had a ball just running around my brother's property, playing in the sand and water table, and playing in the sprinkler ball that they had set up. Corinne was on the go the whole time we were there so she was very worn out when we left. After my brother's Corinne was so dirty we were going to take her to my parents to clean her up before we went to my other cousin's graduation party but she was so tired she feel asleep and we did not want to wake her up. We attempted to take her to the party diry girl and all but she was just too tired so we had to leave after about fifteen minutes. It was a very long but fun weekend.

My fashionable tom-boy (acutally I did not know they were going to have all the water stuff so I did not bring a suit for her).

After the long weekend you would have thought that we would sleep in on Monday but everyone who knows Corinne knows that does not happen. Tiffany and Jack came over for a playdate and the kids had a great time. They were so talkative to each other this time and it was so fun to watch. Carrie and Dominic came up later and we did some shopping at Carter's for things on clearance that we can us next summer and for the new baby.

We just missed Corinne and Jack talking over the menu for there dinner:)

Tuesday was a very low key day we just stayed around the house and got some lists made for what needs to be done before I go back to work. This summer is going so fast that I am starting to panic about getting everything done before school starts and new baby comes.

On Wednesday, Carrie, Dominic, Corinne and I went to Slate Run Park to visit the animals and attend a horsing around storytime. The storytime was not very kid friendly so we just moved onto the animals. Corinne is so into animals right now that she was running the whole time we were there! It is a great place and free so if you get a chance check it out. Make sure you were old shoes and play clothes though because it is a little messy. Our visit was cut a little short because it started to rain but it was still nice.

They loved the turkeys because they were making a lot of noise!

This picture is priceless, it was a baby lamb that Corinne could not keep her hands off!

Corinne showing Dominic the ducks!

She was a little nervous to pet the very big house, Mommy loved it though! She did at least teach him.

Today we had Hannah and Alexandra over for a playdate which is always fun. We had to stay inside though because it was rainy and even a little chilly. We are so excited to get ready for my favorite holiday of the year, the 4th of July!
