Summer Fun!
I start your June update on July 1st. July 1st is the first day of National Ice Cream Month, which my friend, Claudia, at highlowaha.com is currently writing about. We took this first picture tonight to send to her. We went to Tom Thumb and bought the appropriate ice cream scoop. Our second purchase because I originally purchased the old timey kind with the thumb button. Then, I went to Claudia's last week and the ice cream professional set me straight.
The boys started the month of June on vacation with Andy, Sr. & Jane. Drew and JB flew by themselves for the first time from Dallas to New Orleans. The O'Prys picked them up and they drove to Gulf Shores. They had a great time.
Drew lost a tooth while he was gone. The Monday after they returned, JB had his regular front baby tooth along with his extra baby shark teeth extracted at Dr. Ellis' office. It was quick and he did great. He was up and going by the middle of the afternoon. Later that week, Drew is playing in the playroom and oops! Out came another tooth. And then this past week, he pulled his other front tooth! The tooth fairy has been one busy fairy around here. They have twin gaps now.
We are certainly enjoying the summer. I have decided my next years bonus money (if I'm so lucky to receive one) is going towards a sprinkler system! I have an awkward corner lot so it takes a lot of watering/moving/watering to get it all done. I have another story about my front door but I'll save that for another entry. Drew and JB have a great time running through the sprinklers.
Many of our Friday nights are spent at the local McDonald's where we meet up with some of our friends from Children's Courtyard. This past Friday we had a slight change and some of us came to the house for McSwim! The kids had a great time splashing around, eating snow cones and the McMoms got to have yummy margaritas instead of Big Macs!
My favorite spot in the pool is pictured below. I am so glad the we got a house with a pool. It's nice to be able to wake up, throw on our bathing suits and swim. The boys have a great time and I enjoy it both when they are here and also when I have the pool all to myself! I am perfectly happy with becoming old and wrinkly in my old age!
30 more days until our Wimberley vacation! Yay! We can't wait. We're starting to gather items that we want to take.
