Get in my Belly

At the dinner table tonight Finn asked where the cheese from my sandwich was. I told him that I ate it and that it was in my belly. Not more than 1 or 2 minutes later we watched him pull up his shirt and stuff his sandwich under it smearing mayo across his belly. Of course when asked what he was doing his response was that he was putting his sandwich in his belly.

Mud fun

A couple days ago we had storms and a ton of rain overnight. This left us with some pretty large and awesome (according to Finn) mud puddles in our backyard. Finn enjoyed some muddy goodness.

So Tuesday, not tomorrow but last week, was swim day at day care and what swim day at daycare means is wear your shorts and have mosquitos bite your back. Poor Finn looked a bit like a chicken-pocked bubble boy. A few days and a few dabs of ointment later Finn and I met up with Jesse and Chapin for a Brewers loss. It was Chapin's first Brewer's game and we all had a good time having to bail after the sausage race (3 of the 5 racers went out in a heap just short of the finish line, the first I have seen sausages go down since Pirate Randall Simon knocked one over with a bat) due to inatentiveness on behalf of the toddlers. This worked out as Finn was due for a swim lesson and leaving early means less traffic.
Finn is improving in his desire to participate in swim lessonsand I am excited for next week as Laura has been practicing with Finn plugging his nose and putting his face under the bath water. Whether this will translate to the distraction filled swimming pool will be seen. Stay tuned.

Pool Day, Zoo Day and Strawberry Day...Summer is here!

Last weekend we were lucky enough to have a visit from The Beall Family before Aunt Sophi is banned from travel prior to baby number 3 arriving. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed a few fun-filled summer days.
We went to the zoo where Finn had a great time with his cousins Faythe and Macy looking at the animals and acting like crazy little monkeys. Of course the zoo day ended with a "choo choo" ride which Finn was a bit timid about initially but ended up enjoying the ride.










We also spent some quality time in our backyard with a couple blow up pools. Faythe was our local "lifegaurd" on duty and did a great job keeping Finn and Macy in line. Macy taught Finn a great trick of jumping up and landing on their bottom. Finn decided this would be great in the tub as well and has resulted in lots of water on the bathroom floor. It is hard to get upset when he giggles his head off everytime he does it.







We also headed to the strawberry patch and I think our three little ones ate more than they picked. I had a hard time keeping the basket full while Finn's little hands ate one berry after another...stem and all!










Finn, Macy and Faythe also enjoyed some time with Grandpa Keith and Granny Pam as they nicely came up for the day for some quality time with the grandkids as the mommies and daddies enjoyed a trip to Miller Ball Park to check out the Brewers.
