Wordful Wednesday - Weekend Fun

On Saturday my parents surprised me by coming up to visit.  They live 3.5hrs away so they don't come up here much.  We had a wonderful time!  The kids were so excited to see Nana & Papa.

Saturday night we went out for a Fish Fry.  My parents can not get one that tastes as good as the ones here in Western New York taste.

Sunday we went to Hamburg Beach on Lake Erie before we went to visit my grandmother and go out to lunch.  Everyone had a great time skipping stones.

How was your weekend?

Randomness

There has been a lack of posts lately.  It has been really HOT here this week.  I have started posts a million times but never got around to publishing anything.  Summer is finally here and we have been enjoying every moment of it.

Earlier last week we were freezing.  It was so cold outside.  I almost (yes, almost) felt bad taking Ian to swimming last Wednesday it was so cold.

Last Thursday I finally let Lily go down the huge slide at the park.  I have been a nervous nelly about it because I watched a kid fall down from that first landing last summer.  Mind you the parent was on the phone when it happened and wasn't watching their child, but it still scared me a bit.

Jeff & I had a date night last Friday.  My nephew babysat for us and we went to the Molson Canal Concert Series to see Our Lady Peace.  I was so excited because I love going to concerts and LOVE Our Lady Peace.  I can now add it to my list here?  (I just realized I never added Tom Petty & Kid Rock to the list)  Back to the concert.  I was a bit disappointed, they sounded TERRIBLE!  Which was sad.  =(  We did had a good time though.  Nothing like free concerts and watching drunk people.

Last Saturday we went to the water park at Darien Lake.  Ok, seriously what do people think when they buy bathing suits?  If you are overweight by 50lbs or more you should not be wearing a bikini.  Just sayin.

My brother in-law had a party on the 4th and we had a FANTASTIC time.  We made lots of new friends and Ian even got to do sparklers.  (My husband HATES them.)

Jeff had Monday off so we both took Ian to swimming

 & Lily to the wading pool.

After swimming we went to the beach.

Lily asked me the other day... "Mom, show me your muscle"
I make a muscle and Lily touches my elbow and says, "mom you have a big muscle."
...I think we need to work on our anatomy...

I wonder what this weekend will bring?

Last Weekend

So last weekend we were very busy. My husband took off that Thursday and Friday so we had a long weekend planned. It was hot and sticky here that whole weekend.

We went to the Erie Co. Fair...

...rode A LOT of rides and played a game or two...----------------------------------------

We went to the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester...

...saw Nemo... ...and penguins formulating a plan...

...played on a playground...

---------------------------

We spend most of Saturday & Sunday at the beach...

So what am I doing this weekend? Doing the happy dance!!

Can I have a WOOT WOOT!?!? I bought Lily Littlest Petshop (her favorite) underwear yesterday and she has decided she no longer wants to wear diapers. She absolutely wants to wear underwear like mommy & Ian. So after nap yesterday I brought the potty downstairs and she went pee 6 times in it and had 2 accidents. After the 2nd accident I was leaning toward putting her back in a diaper, but decided against it. After that she walked over to the potty, pulled her underwear down and went. WOOT WOOT!! Today she has only had 1 accident so far besides wearing a diaper for nap. She is doing fantastic! I had every intention of starting the potty training process in Sept/Oct, but Lily had other plans. Crossing fingers and toes that this is it and she totally gets it.

Yes, I realize that this may be TMI....but I am really excited about no more diapers.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
