Whoever coined the phrase, "Lazy Days of Summer" never spent a day in my shoes during the summer time! Ever since the boys have been out of school, we have had so much fun playing with neighbors (everyday) and going swimming and everything else you do in the summer! We have wonderful neighbors who have kids the same age as Will and Jake, so around 5pm, we all head outside (usually our house) and play on the swing set, ride the battery operated hummer and ride bikes. Me and the other Moms, just sit back and have grown-up talk and handle little fights that might break out. Will started swimming lessons at the YMCA last week and he finishes up tomorrow. The lessons start at 10:30am and last only 30 minutes. Then we swim at the YMCA pool for about an hour and then head home for lunch. It's a great routine that the boys have adjusted well to. The swimming and sunshine really wear them out and 7 months preggo Mom too! Jake starts his lessons the end of the month and go for 2 weeks too. They are probably going to go to lessons again during the month of August to a lady who gives them private lessons at her pool in Leiper's Fork. She is really great and they say your child learns to swim before leaving her class.
Paige found out yesterday that she is having a girl! We are so excited! We all thought it was going to be a boy. But the ultrasound showed it very clear that it was a girl! I am so excited b/c my little girl and her's hopefully will be very close. Paige and I want to move closer together so we can raise our kids together. Hopefully it will all work out.
Matt has been really busy getting some last minute handy-man jobs done before the little girl arrives. He and Lance tiled our upstairs bathroom and will be putting beadboard on the walls in the next few weeks. This weekend Matt will be tileing our downstairs bathroom. The nursery hasn't even been touched. I can't wait to start decorating it. I will probably start doing the majority of it in July. I don't have to paint, but of course it all needs new girly stuff!
Well, the boys are finished cleaning up the playroom and now it's time for bed. I will write more later!
Love, Steph
