Today is the babies 9 month birthday! Time is flying by and so are they. Peanut is super fast with pulling himself/crawling and Squeaker rolls around. The dogs even know to get out of the way!
Last Friday was E's 8th birthday. We celebrated with friends, cake and swimming. This year I finally got on the ball and had games. We used water balloons to have relay races, volleyball & squish the balloon on the metal chair-my personal favorite. E has a surprise guest-her teacher for the past two years-Mrs. M. E really enjoyed her party.
We will be leaving for the campground for two weeks this Sunday for Vacation Bible School. The campground is a throw back to days of yore. It really is a dream if you are a young. Tons of other kids to play with, VBS, a pond to swim in and a boarding hall where you can get three square meals a day. I'm a little intimidated to have the babies by myself for two weeks but my Dad will come out and I believe my friend who owns the cottage will take some vacation days to spend with us. Crossing my fingers that I maintain my sanity ;-) The only downside is no internet. We read and watch plenty of Seinfeld on dvd.

Miss E 8 yrs old

Don't you just love the book she picked out?

Today is Miss E's 8th birthday! We are celebrating with ice cream cake and plenty of pool time (temps to go well over 95). She is super excited for her special day. Me too. I love birthdays because it's a day to celebrate the person. She has basketball camp and then we are having Chinese food and cake. Tomorrow is her party. People will either be in the pool or in the house because it's going to be another hot one.
I am very excited to say I started working out again. The babies are going down for somewhat regular naps. I did the 30 day shred yesterday. I was comfortable with doing just 30 mins of exercise to: a. get back into the swing of things and b. I could shower after I was done. Gradually I would like to increase my work out time to one hour. My legs and arms are a little sore ;-)
The babies are doing well. Peanut is pulling himself and getting ready to crawl--he pulls himself through the bottom of the exersaucer. Squeakers is in love with Kona. He squeals when he sees her. It's the cutest thing. And they both like her one toy.
I am going to start breakfast. I have a special request for chocolate chip pancakes.
Stay cool!

Wow! I can't believe my babies are 8 months old. They have sure grown a lot. Peanut is spinning himself around and getting ready to crawl forward. Squeakers rolls all over the place and has discovered his voice. They both love the puppies and squeal with delight with Kona or Logan enter the room. They light up when they see E. Nothing is safe because they grab whatever is closest to them.
