Does the Fun Ever End?

The last couple of weekends have been pretty low key. With Q being 3 weeks early, I had hopes of going early with Herky as well. I guess he has other plans as we haven't met him yet. So, here's a recap of the last couple weeks. There is a Herky update at the bottom.

These are the lights Jeremy added a few weeks ago - We love them and
Jeremy has gotten lots of compliments on them. 

We've had this storm door in our garage for nearly 2 months now. Jeremy installed it over the weekend. It looks great and the house feels so much more open.

FINALLY!!! The storm door is installed 

We are loving the Olympics around here! Our TV has been on more this past week, than it has the past month. Quentin often will stop playing to see whats going on. His favorite is the swimming and the "big big pool." And, he says he wants to jump in the pool.

"Mom - Can you please stop taking my picture. I'm trying
to watch the Olympics!"

Last Saturday night, I had made cupcakes and some of the neighbor kids came over to help decorate them. Of course, they had to eat some as well.  We took them to the neighbors, who had invited us over for an olympic party in their garage.

This decorating stuff is serious business

Last Sunday morning, Carrie, Stella, Bobbie, Dylan, Brian, Lena, Sarah and the boys came over for a playdate. We tried finger painting for the first time. I think Brian had the best idea, that the adults should get to finger paint sometime as well.

D led the way and showed the others how it's done. 

High Fives!

After finger painting, we got cleaned up and headed to the park.

Jackson and Wyatt ate and hung out

They liked playing a game until they hit heads. 

Hooray!! USA wins Synchronized diving. 

Last Monday - Q got to spend the day at Cousins Camp with Alex and Paul. They went to the library, the capital and rode the trolly. Jeremy and I went over after work and Q was having a blast in the backyard.

A little swimming with Alex

Our little artist

A little basketball

Who doesn't have a ping pong table in their backyard? 

Alex finally got Q to ride the big wheel. 

He has a good stance, but, may be a better golfer

Last year Q hated the swing, this year, he loves it. 

Huge thanks to Penny and Fred for inviting Quentin again this year and for dinner. And to Nancy for tagging along as well. I know it made Q and me feel better that he'd be with a familiar face.

Here are a few pictures from this past weekend.  Q won't really watch cartoons.. He'd rather play with the ipad or watch espn. He's definitely my kid. And, he counted to 4 on Saturday, which was a little shocking to me as I didn't know he could count past 2.. and then Sunday, he up'd it to 5.

If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet!

Clap your hands! 

Shout Hooray! 

Obviously Q loves the ipad. 

Saturday afternoon, Stella came to hang out while Carrie got her hair cut. She came during Q's nap time, and Stella actually slept on me most of the time as well. Maybe having 2 kids won't be so bad after-all. :)

He loves corn on the cob. Ate 2 ears. 

Herky update: I went to the doctor today, and am dilated 2 cm and 90% effaced. Of course, this really doesn't mean a whole lot, just that I can go any day now. He's still moving a lot, which I love and I'm told kankles are the new "in" thing.
