Looonng Weekend!

Jay had a four-day weekend for Memorial Day, so we had a much needed family weekend and had some great together time before we start the next round of trips. Jay leaves Friday morning for Las Vegas for 2 weeks. He'll be home on Father's Day, so we'll be extra glad to see him then. :) I also spent some time this weekend by myself and with friends, I got a much needed shopping trip after swimming lessons with my friend Amber and another one Monday night after we discovered that Emma has outgrown all of her clothes AGAIN. This time after only 5 weeks. UGH! I was able to get some good deals at Target, so she's at least outfitted for one laundry cycle. Can you believe she weighs 21 pounds and is 29.5 inches long??? I thought maybe this baby would be a little slower in the growth spurts, but apparantly not!!

We had a picnic at playdate this week, and Emma conked right out on the blanket!

She also fell asleep in her high chair the other day... Poor neglected baby!

Emma got her first purse on my shopping trip. It was on clearance and she LOVES to teeth on the handles!

Harry got new "race car jammies." He's in love and has worn them every night since.

Emma in the pool yesterday. She was confused about something!?

Hop on Pop!

Daddy's Home!
Both kids decided to wrestle him to the ground tonight. Well, Emma more like just threw her toes into it after Harry got him down, but they were all giggling hysterically! :)

Learning Playdate

Thomas, Joshua,Charlie, Harry, Naomi, and Jameson

Emma loves going too, especially when Joshua gives her kisses!
Harry's still going to Learning Playdate every Tuesday at his friends' house. Thomas and Joshua wait by the window every week for us to drive up- it's so nice to see their smiling faces! Harry has actually started enjoying the singing portion (well, sometimes!) and will sing along with "Itsy Pider" and "Bumblebee." We're working on "Hokey Pokey" and some of the others. He knows over half of the alphabet now and can count to 5 (most of the time!) and all his colors and shapes! :)

So, my kid looks like Mark Messier....

So... it was hot this weekend, like high 80's. Harry kept complainging that his head was hot. I've been meaning to get him a haircut for a good week or two, but I figured last night that I could do it myself and save the 10 bucks. WRONG. I dug out Jay's clippers and the one blade that I could find and did a test strip. I thought it looked about right. WRONG, again. So, now Harry's bald. I think I used the beard shaver setting, because he literally has about a 5 o'clock shadow on his head and that's pretty much it! I realized this afternoon that he looks exactly like Mark Messier. :P Whoops. Well, it's hair, it grows back, right? RIGHT??
