A quiet week

We've had a pretty quiet week and weekend. I think the kids are still trying to catch up on their sleep from our Tahoe weekend. Jacob has not been napping for the last 2 weeks, but this week, he's napped 2 days. Yeah! Plus, the babies went back to napping twice a day. They seem to be in that transition stage, going from two naps a day to just one. Jacob was back to school on Thursday and then Friday morning he had a fun playdate with his friend Ethan. We filled up the kiddie pool for the boys and they splashed around most of the morning.

Saturday was kind of a lazy day. We slept in (well, until 8:30 which is sleeping in around here) and then took the kids out for a walk before it got too hot. Then it was a typical Saturday of laundry, playing outside with the kids, naps, etc. We bbq'd a nice steak dinner, then took all the kids out back to play. Since Jon is working nights now, it was nice to get outside and play soccer and frisbee with the kids. We tried to teach our Olympic hopeful (Jacob) how to do a cart wheel, but I think a gold medal might be a far stretch! Somehow I let Jon talk me into doing a cart wheel and let's just say I could barely do one! :o) The babies aren't big fans of crawling around on the grass, but Ryan actually did great last night. We were all playing around the play structure and Ryan crawled up the slide, turned himself around and went down the slide by himself! Jon and I were shocked. Here are a few photos ...

The night ended with baths, jammies and bedtime for the kiddies. Jon and I (again) stayed up too late watching Michael Phelps get his final gold medal. We've really been enjoying the Olympics, but does anyone else agree that they are on too darn late? Man, we haven't been to sleep before midnight in 2 weeks!

Jon's working today (Sunday), so the kids and I are heading down to mom and dad's to hang out and hopefully go swimming. It's kind of windy here today, so we'll see if we go in.

Signing off for now,

Lisa :o)
