Friday Casey and I decided to take the boys for sushi. Okay, confession: we really wanted sushi and decided to let them tag along with us since leaving them at home unattended is grossly frowned upon. It was an adventure to say the least! It started with me having to change Milo's diaper in a restroom with no changing table. The worst! I wasn't about to lay him on the floor and there was really nowhere else. SO I held him in one hand and changed a poopy diaper/got him re-dressed with the other. It felt like I was in there forever and by the time I was done I had worked up a good sweat. Ha! I am just thankful no one walked in on me:)
Ian loved the miso and salad. Not so keen on the rolls, but he did okay for the first time. Milo loved the edamame and sticky rice. He was fascinated by the fact he could clap his hands and the rice would stick to him. Of course, he wouldn't let me get a photo though. We were that family in the restaurant though - fortunately surrounded by good sports!
Yum - Italian Ice. A must needed break from the heat!
How cool is this?! Genius. A tent for women to breastfeed and change their babies. Absolutely brilliant...why didn't I think of that?
There was a yard sale close to where we parked and from afar I could spot some toys for kids. I figured we should check it out and I am so glad I did. It was a young family with 2 small kids. The kids were "selling" some of their old toys to raise money for new toys. Again, genius.
We got this ride along toy for Milo. We have some, but they were all Ian's and I figured it was time for Milo to have one all his own. Plus, it was $10. A steal!
Ian got this crane and I can assure the smile on his face was there all weekend. He LOVES this crane. It goes everywhere with him. It is the best $5 I have spent in a long time!
Milo wanted to get in on the action as well. Ian isn't sure about sharing this with anyone else and I don't blame him. It is pretty darn cool!
The picture on this onesie was actually done by Monica. Katie made the image into an iron-on transfer. It turned out super cute!
There was an awesome spread of food! Which was good because I was starving:) It took me a minute to realize I was eating cherry tomatoes out of a diaper though. Such a cute idea!
Unfortunately, I had to leave the shower early to head to my next event - Avyn's first birthday party!! It has been so much fun celebrating all the birthdays these past few weeks, but I have to be honest. The cupcakes must stop! My waistline is starting to show how much fun these past 4 weeks have been and I need to be able to fit into my fall clothes!!
I picked up the boys and we were off. Ian had to bring his crane along - "I have to work, Mommy." Fine by me because I knew it would occupy his time:) It was great - Ava entertained us all with her cake lifting tricks and the occassional shout out to the crowd. She is a riot! We enjoyed yummy cupcakes from Indulge Bakery and watched her open some gifts. All in all it was a great day...exhausting, but great! Too many great photos to share, so here is a little slideshow for you to enjoy.
This video of Avyn and her Daddy is hilarious!
Sunday we were up and at 'em early - it was the last day Roosevelt Pool was open for the season. Yay! I am not sure what we will do the rest of the summer if we aren't able to hang out poolside with the Courtney's. I guess we'll be forced to find another city pool until they are all closed. I can't let my tan go now - I have worked way too hard on it this summer:)
We finally said adios to Milo's infant car seat. Woohoo! Doesn't Milo look like such a big boy? We still have to get one for Casey's car, but Milo can still use the infant car seat in there. We just don't have to lug him around in it anymore. He will be rear-facing for a couple of months yet, but by his 15 month check-up we should be able to have him forward-facing. I loved it when Ian was finally able to ride forward, so much more interaction!
Milo mind reading - a little game Ian and I like to play. We try to determine what Milo is saying to us. My choice for this photo was: "Can someone turn down the sun? It is really intense over here." LOL!
Ella went to the zoo with her Daddy, so Kate and Ava joined us at the pool. Ian was excited because he got all the Mommy attention! It was a great day for the pool indeed.
I couldn't get her to smile for me. She was probably thinking, "Hey, I smiled enough for you yesterday at my party. Can't you lay off the camera?" Never...
After the pool and Milo's nap, we headed north in the hopes of successful back to school clothes shopping. Check! We scored some shoes for Ian - 3 pairs to be exact. It was hard for me to pass up the New Balance and Adidas sneaks. But I just couldn't justify $50 for 2 pairs of shoes - when I could go with off brand and get 3 pairs of shoes and 8 pairs of socks for $45. Why push him to the name brands now? I will have plenty of time to fork out obsene amounts of money just so my kid can have the "cool" stuff. Pants, shirts, hoodies - check, check, check. We are ready for fall! Now for the hard part...purging the old stuff to make room for the new stuff.
And yes, the crane went with us too.
