June, seriously?!?

Wow - June already! It doesn't seem right that this month we will have a 2 year old and a 3 year old. Time flies when you are having fun and we have had fun this week! It has been an action packed week full of family and fun. On Monday we went to Meemo's (Matt's grandma) house for "Meemorial" day. She lives on a lake so there was plenty of fishing, swimming, and a few canoe rides. Delaney liked the idea of fishing, she even held and kissed a fish. Carson's attention span isn't quite as long, but he thought it was pretty fun for the first 10 minutes or so. They both swam in the lake. Delaney turned into a fish!!! She loved splashing around with Grandpa Bub and even learned to swim a few feet away from him - wearing a life jacket, of course! The ride home was longer than expected, because we thought that the kids would crash fast from the water and the lack of normal naps (Carson did snuggle up with Chelsea for a shorter than usual nap mid afternoon). However, the trip home consisted of 45 minutes of quiet time while they watched a movie and then a lot of whining, screaming, kicking, etc.... while they, mostly Delaney, wanted out. With the promise of Taco Bell, they quieted down and we made it home without too much stress.

While we were at Meemo's house we talked about Chelsea (Matt's cousin) coming to stay with us for the rest of the week so that I could get my garage sale stuff ready. She agreed, so Matt's dad brought her up Wednesday. I was able to get so much done because she was here. We had a lot of fun together. Wednesday we went to Kohl's and Ritter's (ice cream!!). Then, Thursday night she watched my favorite Friends DVD and we sat and ate ice cream and Oreo's at 11 o'clock at night....very fun! It was nice to have someone else around to help keep an eye on the kids so I could feel productive. I think we are almost ready for the garage sale....still some sorting and pricing that needs to be done, that's where I'm headed next.

Love to you all!!
