Summer - Week Eight

Week Eight started with a back yard pool party.

That night, the boys decided that they were going to have a sleepover in the basement. Noah made a list of the supplies he would need.

They made popcorn and watched Bambi.

And so us girls had our own popcorn and movie sleep over upstairs.

Wyatt was almost six years old and so it felt like the right time to say goodbye to the Bubble Guppy decals on his walls. But I made sure to document so we would never forget them. Also, some of them ended up being confiscated by Charlotte.

Noah caught me updating the blog one day and so he sat down and started reading it.

Wyatt and I attended a Joliet library field trip to the Armory one evening. We learned a little about being in the National Guard and then got to tour some of the vehicles.

 

  

 Aunt Michele sent his birthday present a couple days early, so he convinced us to open it.

Chip doesn't get many photos. Here he is around seven months old.

Charlotte Gets a New Bed and Other Things

Chugging along in April, Charlotte continued her ballet classes.

Wyatt went to a birthday party. Charlotte got to play a bit after her class.

 

This cowboy is ready for summer.

Cousin Doug reported back with our Flat Stanley who was enjoying his time in Washington DC.

Noah made a square for the First Communion banner. The felt was the exact color of his red shirt, so it was a little tricky getting a picture of him with it.

The twinkies continued their plotting.

Noah had a "no waste" lunch day so I had to make him a special lunch. So, I cut off his crusts and unwrapped his chocolate, but it seemed kind of pointless since I threw them away anyway. We were told the apple core could be sent to the compost bin.

Charlotte finally got her big girl bed. She was super excited.

She had told us all along that she would move out of our room (remember she had been sleeping there since October) if we bought her a big girl bed. We were skeptical, but she moved in the very first night.

 

Wyatt was concerned that she was going to fall out of bed, so he volunteered to sleep over to keep an eye on her. And yes if you're noticing, one of her window shades is broken.

We had a lot of finger lights left over from school Halloween parties, so Wyatt found a good use for them: lighting up the battle scenes on his desk.

Noah missed swim lessons one day. When I picked up Wyatt, I had a bizarro Noah sitting in his seat.
