Fun Times

The weekends are always a whirlwind of activity, and this Friday and Saturday have been no different.  I really enjoy not working on Fridays, but it might be more exhausting to stay at home with two wild boys.  Lincoln and Beau are at such fun ages to really get out and have fun.  The neighborhood library is so exciting to Lincoln, so we stopped in for a visit.  I'm always nervous to check out books . . . how can I locate the borrowed ones to return from the million we already have?  We had already lost one by Friday afternoon, but we've since discovered it hiding in a basket.  It was nice that the library was actually pretty busy with people of all ages.  Who knew?!?!

 We hit up the playground before it got too hot and did lots of climbing and sliding.  Beau has decided he wants to do everything that Lincoln does.  That meant lots of climbing and sliding for Mommy too!  No workout for me this weekend!!!  Popsicles were definitely necessary on this warm day.  Linc is so proud when he eats his all the way down to the stick.  He likes to say the word "enormous" right now, so he told me his popsicle was enormous today!  Beau mastered saying "cheese" when I ask for a picture.  This picture-taking Mommy is super excited!  Here's his first cheese!

 First of all . . . yes, Kevin and Lincoln are sitting in a car seat!  Not sure why, but whatever.  They were testing out the new PS3.  Nana and Pops gave them a Cars game to play, so they were racing Tow Mater around the track.  Beau was so bummed that he wasn't getting to play.  He tried and tried to get involved, but it just isn't a 15 month old thing. 

 Luckily, Beau really likes cookies and is fairly easy to distract when food is involved.  A bowl of mini vanilla wafers solved the problem!  Is he going to be telling some psychiatrist in 40 years that his Mom healed his sadness with food????  Oh, I hope not! 

 Not captured in pictures were trips to baseball practice, Mi Cocina, the swimming pool, Father's Day present shopping, Bandito's and a run through the sprinkler.  Also not captured in pictures were the not-so-sharing moments that are all too common.  It's so hard to share all the time, and that toy that someone else has is magically more appealing than when you had it.  All in all, we've had a busy and fun few days.  I hope everyone sleeps really well tonight.  I got to enjoy both of my boys at bedtime.  We usually split it up, but I was happy to have a few minutes of peaceful and semi-still boys who love to read books. 

Father's Day is up next.  I hope we've got a few silly surprises up our sleeves for Daddy.
