We have been BUSY! One would think that having an extra day off work for Memorial Day and staying in town would equal stuff done around the house, but not around here!
- Last weekend we went to "Baby" Grace's 2nd birthday party. They got the kiddie pool out and the water table. The weather was perfect...mid 80s with a slight breeze. The kids had a blast playing in the water! I wasn't sure how Lilly would take to the pool, but once she went down the little slide once, she was all in! We couldn't keep her out of the pool or off the slide!
- I snuck into Lilly's room the other night and took a picture of her sleeping. She is a light sleeper so I am always scared to do this, but I love watching my babies sleep.
- We got out the wagon the other night for the 1st time and I took the kids on a walk while Matt was at Bible Study. This was Lilly's 1st time riding in the wagon (she was too small last year at this time). Of course, Brayden enjoyed his walk but Lilly LOVED it! She sat real still and took everything in and of course waved to everyone we passed :)
- We have been enjoying some deck time recently, especially on the weekends. The kids are enjoying the water/sand table and also "helping" with the flowers and blueberry bushes.
- This past Friday night, we got Ms Sarah (Lilly's favorite infant teacher) to babysit for Lilly and we took Brayden on a "Brayden, Mommy, Daddy" night. He got to pick where we ate (Char-Grill of course), then we took him bowling for the 1st time, and then we stopped for ice cream! When we got to Char-Grill, the wind was so strong that we were getting cold, so Brayden and I climbed into the back of Matt's truck. We ended up eating back there with the back mostly down. Brayden thought this was great! Once we got the hang of bowling, he LOVED it! He sort of threw the ball down the lane and it took a few minutes for the ball to get all the way down, but in the end, Brayden almost beat me in both games!
- On Saturday, Paw came to visit and we all went to the NCSU vs UNC baseball game in Durham. This was to determine which team would be in the ACC championship game. The place was PACKED!! We had good seats in the outfield and even though the game didn't start until 7:45ish (it was supposed to have started at 7pm), the kids stayed awake for a long time. Lilly finally crashed somewhere in the 8th inning and Brayden followed in the 10th. This was the game that would NEVER.END! We stayed until the end of the 14th inning when I decided that we all needed to leave. I had to be at church the next morning to teach Sunday School and it was already 12:45. I knew we had a 30+ minute drive home once we got to the car, so we headed out. Turns out that the game didn't end until almost 2am!!! 18 innings of baseball!! Sadly, the Pack couldn't hold on and UNC won the game but I am so glad that we went and that the kids got to experience a great game and spend some extra time with Paw.
- Sunday, after I got home from church, my Dad took us all out to eat at Miltons. This is possibly our new favorite place to eat! They have a great salad bar and a wonderful lunch buffet! Both kids ate a ton of pizza, salad, and pasta!
- On Sunday afternoon, we went to "Baby" Maddie's 2nd birthday party. The kids enjoyed making pinwheels outside and playing with Maddie's toys (something new of course)! Lilly especially enjoyed the Cozy Coupe car which ironically, we had been offered a hand-me-down Cozy Coupe just the day prior :)
- Lilly and I also went for a walk on Sunday evening (Brayden was in trouble and didn't get to go). We stopped at the park for a few minutes and Lilly really enjoyed swinging :)
- Monday, we got the sprinkler out and Brayden had a blast running through it for a while. Later, our friends (the Toomey's) came over and John also enjoyed running through the sprinkler. We also got 2 new riding toys for the kids from some great friends. Catherine and Larry have passed on tons of kids stuff, most recently the Cozy Coupe car and a push tricycle! Lilly LOVES both! Thanks Metzger Family for sharing your kids stuff!!
