We went to visit friends in Cincinnati for a birthday party. Afterwards we went swimming, while the guys enjoyed their homemade kegarator. Although the reality of the situation included five splashing kids in the baby pool and a freezing cold dip in the adult pool. We also went to a nearby fossil park and the kids had a ball finding fossils. It was amazing, you just looked down and could find the fossils of shells, plants and bones.
On Monday I took my three favorite kids to a Mommy and Me class at my yoga studio. I was shocked how well behaved all three were, and how all three participated in the asanas. I brought some toys/coloring books especially for number three, but they weren't even touched. I'm going to have to get some pictures of them next week, because Dawson in chair pose is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Ava in particular has asked nearly every day, when are we going back to yoga?
"Look Mom, I'm a cobbler, I made Jesus shoes."
Ribbons wrapped around her feet, but gotta love the creativity.
If you happen upon my house and wonder why none of my day lilies have flowers, this would be why. She loves to pick flowers, and decorate my hair with them, and stick out her tongue!
Another big transition: Dawson's crib has now been converted to a toddler bed. He has done beyond amazing in it, there was a little bit of monkey business the first night but other than that he has been sleeping soundly. Of course, now that I've typed this on the blog it's going to all go down hill from here, but I can hope.
Finally, Ava is back sharing a room with her big brother. She was my little night time wanderer, up three to four times a night because she was scared. Finally I just said "go sleep in Carter's room." It worked like a charm and I haven't heard from her since. But we are back to the problem of Carter wanting to go to sleep and Ava wanting to stay up for awhile. Win some/Lose some I guess.
That's it for now, we have grocery shopping/garage saling/ packing/ cleaning to do!
