Misc.


I hope everyone is enjoying the heat wave! Since I last checked in, we had another two ice skating lessons, two house showings, two weddings, and an anniversary party in Wisconsin. Skating lessons remain quite entertaining for Mike, Colin and me to watch, and A and B are enjoying their time on the ice. For this week's lesson, they got to wear their new hockey helmets, and felt really cool. Now they just need hockey jerseys.
The two weddings on a Friday night is not something we'd like to revisit anytime soon. We failed to secure a babysitter in time, so Mike went to the social hour following the first wedding (Todd and Emily's, which was at 3:00!) and fought rush hour traffic to come home and pick me up after babysitter Sharon came over at 5. We then missed the second wedding ceremony, but made it to the rest of the festivities for Joel and Shayna's wedding, with Colin in tow.
Saturday was a busy morning, preparing the house for potential showings (there were none) while we were in Wisconsin for the rest of the weekend, for my cousin Scott and Barb's surprise 25th anniversary party. Sunday included a drive home from Marshfield, WI as well as a stop at Chipotle to celebrate Father's Day Mike-style. Annalise's plan for daddy included burritos, beer, and blueberry pie, but the pie is having some difficulty being realized, as I packed the food processor away in the decluttering process, and can't imagine making the pie crust by hand.
Annalise has been attending a 4 day music and drama class at SW high school through community ed. She is such a big girl, going into the high school by herself, and eating her lunch outside under a tree with just her best friend Alma for company. The boys and I went to a nearby park yesterday after dropping A off. Bennett enjoyed the wading pool while Colin napped in the stroller. We need to buy a new baby pool for the back yard- that is something that really needed to happen yesterday.
