It has been sad to see the pool close, the leaves start to turn colors and people are already gearing up for Fall. Meanwhile, we are having hot weather, and it just doesn’t feel like summer is over yet.
We have been busy! I am super excited about the moms group my friend and I started at church. We have now had five meetings, and the kids/moms are really having fun. Here is Benjamin sporting our visor craft from August. We also had a splash party.
The kids continue to grow and develop. It is fun to see their personalities shine through. I just had to share this Abby photo, because she can make the most awful faces when she is unhappy.
We had a bad stomach flu strike a few weeks ago. Luckily, just the kids got sick, but Jeremy and I still felt a bit under the weather with this one too. It meant a lot of TV time.
We took advantage of the last few days before school by hitting up some of the school playgrounds.
What else have we been up to? Oh so much! We hang out with friends often, so it was a great treat to meet the Chic-Fil-A cow at our last visit. My kids don’t care for the food there, but we go anywhere since it is a nice place to meet people. We also have people at our house a lot, and we LOVE the fenced in backyard. A neighbor gave us their play set, so the kids have been having a blast playing on it.
Jeremy took Benjamin to the last regular Kings Island Day, and guess what? Benjamin grew to 40 inches! He was so excited!!! He got to ride a new coaster, and Jeremy purchased the precious picture from the first big hill.
Benjamin is motivated to grow more now. He knows there are more rides awaiting him. Each day, he asks for things like milk and avocado so he can grow bigger. He asks me about all the super foods, because he is willing to eat anything that might help him grow a bit. He is the pickiest eater right now, and he just eats a tiny bit here and there. It makes us crazy. Sometimes we have to beg him to eat. Abby, meanwhile, eats triple the amount of food Benjamin consumes. She is happiest with food in her hands. On a side note, Abby is really good with a spoon…she now insists all food is delivered to her in a bowl and not on her tray.
She also is into acting like a big girl. She asks me to put her shoes on, and then she waves “dye dye.” Abby also learned recently to say “Abby,” instead of “Abba.” It made me a little sad to grow out of that stage, but it is seriously cute to hear her repeating over and over again, “Abby, Abby, Abby!” while admiring herself in the mirror.
We also took a trip to Jump And Jacks on a particularly hot day. Abby insists on sliding all by herself now, even on the biggest slides.
We went to Findlay this past weekend, and these two became quite the couch/bed potatoes as they watched Disney Junior on Papa’s TV.
That’s all for now. Benjamin’s first day of preschool is Tuesday, so stay tuned!
