Friday and Weekend Updates

Thursday is a gymnastics day and it was pouring so we had our friends Kennedy and Penelope over to play. Below are our guests and Hills. 
This is what Ben spends a large portion of the day doing- clinging to me. 
Friday Benny and I hit up CVS. When he is in a cart, he always looks up at me and puckers up and says "mmmm" for a kiss.   *swoon*
After school running in the grass.  They were all bent over looking at sap.
At playground nearby. That is Evelyn, Jack's buddy, pushing BBB. 
Friday night Jim and I went to a wedding and Aunt B hooked us up w a babysitter- a girl she used to babysit for. The girls LOVED her and frankly so do I. She was so sweet. She sent the pics below to Aunt B. 
The next morning Jim read Jax the book from Aunt D and Uncle J all personalized. 
This guy. 
We hung w P and crew Sat evening while Jim worked and I will post those pics later. It was good times. 
This morning we hit up Linvilla, looked at animals and got pumpkins. 

Our little peanut. 
I handed B a pumpkin and he popped out his paci and tried to take a bite! 

We painted them after quiet time. Quiet time was me napping and Jim taking the girls to the store and for ice cream. Major husband points. 

Right before Ben ate paint. Also, how much does Ben resemble Aunt Betty in that pic below? 

Jack's finished product. 

Here is the ice cream date.

Atown Visit and School

Getting ready for Atown tues morn, hill wants to rock heels. 
And rock them she does. The girls love when I get new shoes. 
Ben is also ready, yet suspicious. 
We met Uncle Mick and Gabey at the Fish Hatchery. 
Fed ducks and trout. Rainbow trout, brown trout, golden trout. 
Ducks. 
Posing w the historic fish statue. 


We waited all day for Park to come home from school to yell "surprise!" And sing to him. 
Highlight of his week, no doubt. 
We love this kid. Hilly was soooo shy around him. She came over to me in front of P and said "Mommy, parker is here." So cute. 
Then we visited Gpa and Nana and Gma and Gpa Shoemaker. Then the grand finale- Parker's baseball game. He pitched awesome and we saw him get a hit!! Go P!
Yesterday en route to pick girls up from school. 
Park after school. 
We went to pool last night.
This morning we are touring a catholic school and then off to gym.

Youth Yoga

This is us at the pool last Thursday. Very successful evening. 

Playtime in PJ's after the fact. 
The next morning before school. 
Jack wearing Dada'a undershirt. 
Jack and Jim are twinsies, cereal and all. 
Jack took this selfie. 
I love when I find things like this around the house. 
Fri night Jack and I went for a short run and then sat outside watching the neighbor girl and her friend make videos in slow motion on her mom's iPhone. They included Jack in some videos and she was sooooo happy. She wouldn't go to bed bc she wanted to finish watching them. 
She took this pic of Jim and I looking at a menu on his phone. Take out. 
Saturday afternoon at the park. 
This was not a very peaceful park trip.
Sunday dinner at Grammy and Pops' watching Aladdin. 

Hilly in soccer today. 

Jack in yoga. She LOVED it. I also wanted to note that when we were driving and saw a horse and buggy the other day the girls were screaming "I see a horse! And it has a coach!!"
