Our Friday

Time for Friday!  The boys were excited for a park morning, and they had the most fun in the tunnel slide. 

Lincoln went first, and Beau came down soon after.  All smiles! 

That's a lot of Kuhlman arms and legs and silliness at the bottom of the slide! 

We had a picnic lunch at the park after we played.  As soon as we got our food out, a pesky squirrel ran over to join us.  This was the most determined squirrel EVER!!!!!  He must get lots of picnic action, and he was scoping us out and running around us waiting for food.  Mommy got a little freaked out and flashed back to the worst squirrel 'stuck in the garage door and attempted squirrel murder by car then frightening the squirrel to death by screaming' experience ever (almost a year and a half ago)!  The boys thought it was hilarious that Mommy would clap and stomp and chase the squirrel away from our picnic.  So much fun to eat and laugh at Mommy! 

Mommy finally tossed the little fella an apple slice, and he was happy to run over to his tree and dine on his treasure.  That little guy ate his apple slice in 3 minutes flat, and the boys had fun tossing him a few more before we left!   

We had haircuts with Mr. Danny after our picnic lunch, and the boys were so nice and well-behaved while they got trimmed up.  Since they had been on their best behavior, we stopped for ice cream cones on the way home.  We need to work on the speed at which ice cream cones need to be eaten in warm weather . . . they got runny in the 5 minutes it took us to get home.  Beau was crazy sad that his was melting and getting all over his hands.  Super sad face!

"Mom, don't take my picture when I'm so sad about my ice cream melting all over me!"

Older brother wasn't crying, and he had eaten way more of his ice cream.  It was still melting all over him, but he was happy!

We took a short rest to watch the Lego Movie, and then it was pool time! 

So glad to end the afternoon with these crazies at the pool!  Squinty eyes Beau and karate chop Lincoln made for a great picture!!!   

Instead of staying for dinner at the pool, we met up with the Friday night dinner crew . . . Nana and Pops, Marte and Scooter and their guests.  It was delicious of course!  Daddy and Lincoln hit up the PGA Superstore after dinner, and Beau went home with Mommy to play.  After baths, things got a little interesting.  Lincoln gets to stay up after regular bedtime on weekend nights because of his advanced age of 5!  Beau is just catching onto this.  We did our normal songs and prayers, and he went to bed as usual.  He suspected that Lincoln was up working on a Lego set and came out to investigate after about 30 minutes in his room.  The result:  he got to watch the end of the Rangers game with Daddy in the office, he pooped and ran through the house without his pj pants, he hid out in Lincoln's room coloring and reading books, and then he crashed out in Lincoln's bed waiting on big brother to be done with Legos.  Lincoln had no idea Beau was up to so many antics, and he was super surprised when he found a trespasser in his bed!!!  He laughed forever about it!  Silly little brother! 

Beau was carried to his bed and tucked in, and Lincoln proceeded to stay up for another hour (!) bookmarking pages in a Taste of Home cookbook.  Seriously, we have a lot of food to cook if we make all of the things he tagged.  It was one of the best Fridays ever, and we are excited for Saturday and Sunday too.  Lots of fun is planned - a visit from Minnie and Bubbles, swimming and golf at the club, and a soccer game.  Let's all get a good night of sleep!
