Sweet Talker



We had a great week, at home mostly! I had a fun late night out with mommy friends on Thursday, and A had her first swimming lesson on Friday morning. She liked her teacher, and did a great job, especially at back floating. We left for Green Bay after Book Buddies on Friday, and got into the campground we had hoped to (they don't take reservations). Mike's team faced some pretty stiff competition at his fastball tournament, and we spent most of our time at our campsite. I forgot how loud campgrounds can be until 10 pm, and I know for sure my thoughts of a great camping experience don't include remote control monster trucks, but some of our camping neighbors' visions of a perfect camping weekend did!


Mike was at the ballfield for two late games (7:30 and 9:30, and they were running late), so I stayed at the camper with the kids. I foolishly expected the kids to fall fast asleep, and when B was giving me some resistance, I decided to lie down beside him, and be silent. After a few minutes of silence, Bennett turned to me, put his hand on my neck, and said, "I love your haircut. You're gorgeous!" How do I stay quiet after that?! Annalise, Bennett, and I had a good laugh, then I tried to get them settled again. After a few more minutes, he pipes up again- "Mom, you are my sunshine!" I don't know where he gets his lines, but watch out Class of 2024! I put the kids' tennies on over their footsie pajamas, and we went out to watch the cars race on the road, and burn some sticks we gathered around the site. We finally got back into bed, and both kids were sleeping by about quarter to 10. We had a great experience with the camper, and I'm impressed with how roomy it feels when we're all inside.

I've been going to some great prenatal yoga classes at Blooma, a nearby yoga studio, and we went again yesterday. The kids love playing in the childcare room. We have a few playdates scheduled this week, but other than that, the only other thing going is my 20 week ultrasound! Woo hoo! I can't believe we're here already. We're for sure not going to find out the gender of #3.


Have a great week! Enjoy the sunshine!

Speaking of your pop-up...sent you an email with questions as we're considering purchasing the same.

Love the blog. Just catching up. The haircut is great but you always look good. Great pics of the family.

Great shots of the kids. I would love to see some pics from the next pop-up trip of the ACTUAL trailer - outside/ inside, whatever! I'm trying to get a feel for OUR new future as campers... Or maybe we'll be hard core and stick with the tent. Heck, maybe we'll even do a backpack trip with the little guy. Ha-ha - Who am I kidding!
