Busy Week!

This week has been quite jam packed. I guess I am just restless staying at home all day. Sunday morning my car battery died which I discovered after loading the boys up to go to church. (Not an easy task, my friend.) Matt came back, got us and caught a ride home after the late service. After church he changed my battery and headed right back to church because he had his leaders meeting in the afternoon and finally I hosted a baby shower/dinner party for my friend Jill.

Monday we stuck around the house and tried to tackle laundry and other boring basics but since Tuesday, it seems like we haven't stopped.

Tuesday we grocery shopped first thing in the morning, brought the food home and got right back in the car to meet friends at McDonald's for lunch. They have $1.99 happy meals on Tuesdays! And of course, Cameron slept through it all. I had my last night of bible study that night too. (No pictures Tuesday, sorry!)

Wednesday we went with friends to BLORA (Belton Lake's Outdoor Recreation Area) for swimming at the lake. I had been to BLORA but not to swim. It was so great! I mean the lake was a little murky but what lake isn't? They had a roped off section for swimmers and at least 3 lifeguards on duty. Connor loved playing in the sand (throwing it mostly) and he was thrilled for me to take him out into deeper water. He clung very tightly to me but kept pointing to go out farther. My little adventurer! We closed out the day with our usual Wednesday night church service.

I think he's working on his sand castle building skills here.

After a blow out diaper, Cameron just hung out in a clean diaper.

Connor really enjoyed pouring sand on his friends. Luckily Colin is pretty agreeable to most anything.

And once again, Cameron slept beautifully!

Thursday was Energy Busters at Gym Kix, a local gymnastics center. It got very chaotic and Connor was very clingy but I got a few shots of him having fun. We'll give it another shot once school is back in session and there are fewer big kids.

Having some fun in the bounce house.

Reagan whizzed by in some fun dress up clothes! Connor would have NONE of that! Believe me, I tried.

Kaitlyn & Connor paused for only a moment before running off to something new!

His favorite thing was the silly little slide we could pick up at any given garage sale.

No shot of Cameron, but trust me, he slept right on through.

After resting up we had a quick dinner visit with Grandma Julie but it was cut short because she unexpectedly got called into work. While at dinner though, it is worth noting that Connor ate chicken strips & honey mustard!

Friday we went swimming with friends at the home of next year's MOPS Mentor (Melanie Phillips!) & checked out their goats and donkey. Connor kept pointing to the goats and saying "arf arf!" Oh well, he'll get it one day.

Kaitlyn & Connor got pulled around on the "boat."

Out of all the toys available Connor honed right in on the gun. What a boy! It's like it's written on their DNA.

All dry and enjoying a quick snack before heading home.

So because of the week we've had, my kitchen looks like this. Oh well, it was totally worth it to do so many fun things with my precious baby boys.

(I also must note that all of this fun cost me a total of $10! Yahoo for cheap summer fun!)
