our week

my laptop is soooo close to dying

luckily tonight it's working so here we go

since we've been home we've been trying to make the most of the remainder of summer

we bought a slip and slide this week and invited some friends over to try it out with us

the kids had fun with it 

and then we hosed down the trampoline 

 they loved it

 noah tested and got a new belt at martial arts

he's so awesome! we are so proud of him!!

in other amazing news, olive is FINALLY tall enough to go with the big kids and play

at ikea so we can shop with eleanor in peace! we are soooo happy!

and she is, too!

 monkey olive and me

 we had school registration for these two

can they really be going in to 2nd grade and kindergarten?! 

they're excited!

 i wore all white one day

it's summer, why not? 

eleanor is such a calm, sweet girl

michael was giving her back tickles and she laid there for so long soaking it up

i love her calmness

she has always been like this

when she crawled, she'd take breaks and rest on the floor or stairs

and she still pauses whenever someone plays with her hair or gives her some soft loves

 tonight we went to the rooftop concert

the kids were pretty crazy

 but it was fun to get out 

also, olive had her speech tested today

and qualifies for speech therapy

so we'll start a class together in september

once a week with other kids with similar needs

i'm glad we're getting her taken care of

she's had speech before (after she got her tubes)

and it helped but she still hasn't progressed as much as needed

poor girl, it's all because of dang fluid in her ears from like 9-18 months

i hope we can get her caught up 

this week, i've lost the motivation to be as tv-free as i had been

we went a couple weeks completely tv free

then we did one movie a day until vacation

and now i just don't care that much

we'll just live it up until school starts in a few weeks

i'm excited for the structure that school will bring!!
