The better part of the week

Looking back on last week and this past weekend I'm having a hard time remembering anything other than sickos, gatorade, laundry, and a lot of other awful stuff... so I uploaded my pictures from last week and was happy to discover that a lot more than that happened.

Here are a few of a highlights...

- We took a trip down to Sunnyvale for a double twin trouble b-day party!
Andrew & Mattheww had fun chasing dogs and running far away from the party... and little man also enjoyed the cake.


- We did a lot of 4th of July activities

Paper plate flag

4th of July puzzles

Clothespin fireworks

Fingerprint and textured flag

wrote Firework Poetry

- We also played tennis ball baseball in the garage (this was when Andrew was sick, so he wasn't as animated as usual)

- We even had a short visit from Uncle Scott (all the way from New Hampshire)


- We made cakes with peppermint frosting


- We got really messy eating the chocolate cakes!!


- We said goodbye to some fabulous friends who are moving and spent the day at Happy Hollow with them.

Cute Nat & Claire riding Danny the Dragon

Andrew loved playing with Claire (as long as she didn't touch him... or anything that "belonged" to him)... but he did love feeding her goldfish crackers and trying to feed her his popsicle.


We are going to miss these guys. Nat was my visiting teaching companion for many years and we have become great friends.

- We also enjoyed turning our AC on tonight and enjoying the cool air!

See... that made me feel so much better. Last week wasn't all bad at all! I am glad I took pictures so I could remember all the happier things that we did.

Here's to hoping that next week is even better!
