Another week...

Goodness. I can't believe it's already been another week! Here's some thoughts:

Right now I'm sitting on the couch and Olivia is feeding me fake food. She has picked hamburger buns (the tops only), french fries, bananas, corn on the cob, a breadstick, and one potato chip. Mmmmm....

Aidan is taking a nap. (Pleast don't let this jinx me...) He has been sleeping SO awesome for 2 weeks! He's now going 8-9 hours almost every night! It's amazing. And I feel SO much more rested!

We are going camping this weekend! It will be the first time Olivia will have gone camping!! And it will be the frist time that Aidan will spend the night away from us! I'm not crazy enough to bring them both sleeping in a tent...not yet. :) Aidan is staying with Ryan's parents and we are tenting on a lake just a few minutes from them. Let's pray Aidan sleeps well for Mucka!

(Side note: she just brought me more food a cookie, an apple, and pop...and then said, "No that cookie is not for you, it's for me.)

Yesterday we went to the Splash park in the morning--it was a blast, despite both of my kids being sleep deprived (late night Tuesday). It was gloriously hot!! After naps we ended up going back & hit the DQ on the way home. Mmmmmm.... I forgot to bring with a change of clothes for me (well undergarments) so wore my swimsuit home. I wasn't going to go into DQ with a wet butt, so we went through the drive-thru. Dangerous thing to give a 2 year old an ice cream cone in the car, on a hot day, with no air conditioning. She didn't spill a drop! Of course, I helped eat most of the ice cream so it wouldn't drip all over...but still, no spillage! :)

Oh yes! I almost forgot! I am bringing a limited supply of diapers with on our camping trip! I am expecting we will spend most of the weekend in our swimsuits...and since we will be surrounded by Olivia's older cousins, I am hoping the potty effect will wear off on her! As you know, my goal was potty trained by the end of summer. Well, we are getting awfully close and neither of us is any closer to MY goal! (Side not again: I'm pretty sure she's downstairs pooping right now...) We'll see how she does this weekend; cross your fingers!

Aidan-man is getting such a little personality! He has the biggest smile and best reactions when he hasn't seen you for a while. He reaches up for you...and cries when you put him down. Unless Olivia is in the room, then he is happy. She is his biggest source of entertainment...when she's not trying to take toys from him. He is always on the move, crawling, rolling, pulling himself to standing (his new favorite) and is just a blast to watch. I can NOT believe it's been over 7 months! Seriously, wasn't I just whining about being pregnant still last week??

Hope your week was as good as ours!

So oh my goodness what a tiny peanut he is....but truth be told his momma is kind of a miniature too!!!

So great to see you for a brief moment the other day....we must have left shortly before you came back because we spend the better part of the afternoon there!
