the last week and a half

 the day before the pool closed we surprised the kids at bedtime with one last trip to the pool
it was 8pm and they were ready for bed and we took them anyway
they loved it
 our friends the moody's were there, too
 they thought it was so cool to swim at night
and i hope it's something they always remember
 sweet michael deep cleaned the play room to help me nest
 he rearranged a little, too
 i love a little extra time to myself in the morning
 henry loves to get out at preschool and wait with cannon and eleanor
 henry loves noah's dinosaurs lately
he likes to make them eat each other
 he unrolled the end of a roll of paper towels to make his dinosaurs beds
 cutest pirates ever on talk like a pirate day
 fun at the park
 these two have lots of fun together
 my little drummer girl

henry liked pretending to nap on me
 off to the women's broadcast
 crystal finished the painting for jude's room
she's amazing!
 happy sunday 38 weeks!
 off to choir on my bike so he can use the basket to bring me home a choir treat
my friend marla is the choir director and she is awesome at baking
let's be honest, it's the biggest reason i encourage him to go
 hen found a ping pong ball and told michael he really wanted to play it
so michael set ping pong up on the kitchen table

 cutest little scooter-er
 henry is so stoked to inherit this blanket and pillow from noah
 lunch date at the BK by michael's work

jude's room is getting pretty cute
 i love my mini-me hazel
she loves to clean and be helpful
i was doing a ton of cleaning and she couldn't have been happier to help
 henry loves to lay in weird places to drink his milk
and he prefers them to be elevated
he lives on the wild side
 fun surprise outside our door last night
 sweet noah pushed the stroller all the way to school again this morning
