One Week

Sorry it's been a while. Everyday this week I have thought, "oh I should blog about that".  I have not been able to find 2 spare minutes to write anything.  So now I have to write one big blog to recap my week.  

First we traced Oliver on the sidewalk and instantly had to run it over with our trike.

Then Oliver wanted to play on the Thomas website.  I usually have to get the song/video going and then I go into the kitchen to work on dinner.  I heard the song end so I was heading towards the living room when I heard the next song start.  I peeked into the room to see him using the mouse to click on the next song. 

When I asked him if he did that all by himself.  He looked at me with a very proud look on his face and simply said, "two tums up" (2 thumbs up).  If you can notice in the picture he is a little confused about which digits are his thumbs.  I think it makes the story that much sweeter. 

Then we turned our back yard into a nudist beach.

Abby and Grace invited us to swim in their community pool on Friday.  We decided swim suits were the appropriate attire for this pool.  The kiddie pool was freezing, but Amelia still liked it.  Oliver had his first experience of falling into the kiddie pool and not being able to get his head above the water.  I was right there to get him, but it really scared him.  

I gave Oliver a haircut in our living room on Sunday. He has been getting so hot while running around at the playground. I thought he needed to get rid of some of the insulation.  I bribed him with special snacks and cut quickly. I have been following him around the house with scissors for 3 days now clipping pieces I missed.  Oh well, it was very cheap. 

 He even helped clean it up.   

As you can see, we have had a very busy week and 3 days.  I even left out a lot.  There,  that's one more thing off of my mental check list.   Next, making dinner and getting to work.
