More Summer Fun!

We had another quiet week of summer - these are the weeks I love.  Fun things to-do, but no stress.  Finley kicked off the week with more Sports Tykes; they finished class by jumping in the bounce-house!

Hadley is cooing more, she was telling the animals something (side-ways picture won't flip), these milestones are adorable, but evidence that she's quickly growing.

Whenever I set Hadley on the playmat, Finley needs to check it out too.  No matter what infant toy I drag out, he thinks it's the coolest thing ever and wants to know, Is it mine?  Umm...Yes (it used to be) and no (not anymore).

For his birthday, Finley received a 3-D puzzle from Grandma Lynn & Grandpa Jim.  I don't know if he saw the fish "pop"...

...but he enjoyed pointing out rainbows around our house.

Finley wants to hold Hadley and tells me to go away so he can do it by myself...I cringe and stand ready to catch a falling baby.

We had our second art class, this time it was on bees!  Finley's friends Caden & Ethan were there too!

After art class we met Melissa & Elle in the park - Finley showed Elle how to use the slide.  Cracks me up, he's afraid of regular-sized slides, but acts like an expert on the little ones :)

I said it last week and I'll say it again...I hate climbers.  Finley's 7-feet off the ground and doesn't want any help!

Hadley enjoyed the park too.

Show & Tell started with the letter I this week, Finley brought a fancy ice cube that lights up.  Evidently ending with the letter I was OK too, someone brought a semi and Finley fell in love with it.  He asked to go to the store every 10-15 minutes for 24 hours; I'm sure he dreamt about a semi.  Feeling guilty that we were leaving him Saturday, I caved and bought him a semi.  Finley loves, loves, loves his new semi, it's gone to bed with him, on the swingset and everywhere in between!

On Saturday, Hadley, Patrick & I went to help Heidi & Ryan at their new house.  I decided Finley's help was best left at home with a babysitter.  Ryan & Heidi have a beautiful new home for their little boys - but wow, lots of work!  Patrick installed drop-down stairs to their attic, Hadley & Nolan supervised from the living room and I supervised the supervisors.  I did offer to help organize the kids' dresser drawers...isn't it normal to keep sets together?  Jammie tops w/ jammie bottoms?  Shirt / pants sets next to one another?  I think so too ;)
