We sure did have another busy week. I hate to say this but I am kinda looking forward to Fall and Winter so that things start settling down and we spend more time inside... yes I said it.... I would love to just be inside. I actually like the rainy days we have been having so we can cuddle up in sweats and play games all day long.
Lily finished up with swimming lessons this week. She is a little fish. We have found something that she loves to do. Swim and Dance are her favorite things right now. We had her back to school night at preschool on Weds. She got to meet some friends that will be in her class. Lily was supposed to be in the afternoon class because the morning class filled up so fast, but we got a call from her teacher saying that someone moved so we got the spot. YAH!!! We wanted the morning class so bad but they filled up within an hour of registration last year. So now we got the spot.
Thursday night I had BUNCO with the ladies. I look forward to BUNCO every month. It is my time to chat with the ladies, eat some goodies, have a cocktail, and relax for a few hours with some good adult conversation. Gotta love BUNCO!! Chris had to work late that night so a special thanks to mom and dad VV who watched the kids for me.
Thursdays and Fridays are our long days. Chris works open to close those days. This past Friday night we were bored so we decided to give Grammy and Papa a call and have them over for pizza.
Today, we had a wonderful day. Last night we got an email from Grandma Venhousen to meet in Janesville for lunch. We met Great Grandma VenHousen/Mariella in Janesville at Chuck E Cheese. We spent our afternoon playing games, eating pizza, dancing with Chucke and shopping since it was connected to the mall. It was nice to spend time with her and we got a chance to catch up a bit. I will post a picture of our afternoon, later. We spent this evening watching THE PACKERS!!! Feels like fall already.. football... blue jeans and sweatshirts in this 60 degree weather. Much to our surprise, we also had a night filled with fireworks that were going on at the country club near our house. It was nice..... we could see the whole show from our bedroom window. Lily and I watched for a bit ( she had a late nap because of our busy afternoon so she got to stay up late which she says is the best thing in the whole wide world) ... and of course... this was the best thing she said she has ever seen!! I just love it when they get excited with things....As they get older, I don't think it will last for much longer.
Tomorrow we are headed to Sun Prairie for the Sweet Corn Festival, followed by watching Courtney race her car. It will be a long race so we are thinking that we will probably leave before it is finished because it will be a late one. However, it should be a fun afternoon and evening as well.
Today, we got home from pizza and Lily checked our mail. She had another birthday invitation in the mail from a friend, and she was so excited. I wish I could have had a camera on her watching her open that letter. First...she loves mail. Then, she knew it was from a friend. She kept telling me that it was so so special and she would cherish the invitation forever and it was her FAVORITE thing she had ever seen. How cute!!!! Now if we can only get her to stay at the parties for 3.5 hours or atleast until the party ends :) She lasted 1.5 hours with the last one and she wanted to come home.
As for Nolan... he is just talking like crazy. Repeating everything and anything. Every word I say or anyone says, he tries to say it back. It has become quite the comedy show, hearing him put words together and shout out random words. Thanks to Grammy and Papa who taught him Toot and Fart the other day. Those are some of his favorite words :-)
