Fun Weekend

Today is only June 1st, but I feel like summer is in full swing.  We are busy.  We are outside most of the day.  It is hot outside. We are having fun.  It's all good, because I love summer!

Friday morning was hectic.  Mike forgot his wallet at home and we had to run it to work.  The kids were excited, they always love going there.  I was less excited.  I had a lot to do (it all worked out though, because my vacuum broke and I had to stop at the Kirby store by him anyway).  On the way up there Leah said "why does it smell like toots in here".  I did my best to explain it was from the paper mill, not someone in the car :)  After we stopped by the silos (the highlight of Mike's work), we went to drop the vacuum off,  drove to Oshkosh to take pictures of a landscaping job, stopped at Lowe's to buy some herbs and then went to Menominee Park to meet Sarah and Payton.

Oshkosh Zoo!  We actually saw the otters.  

Cheese

After lunch at the zoo and then a trip to the playground we went home, watched a tv show then went to the Jones' to swim.  That is right -- swim!  It is finally warm enough.  It was 80.  It felt hot.  The kids were so excited to be able to play in the pool.

They played boys against girls.  No one cared that it was 4 girls and 1 boy.

Pure joy. 

Summer.

Saturday morning was Ryan's last flag football game.  I missed it :(  Tammy and I left early for a trip to Ikea.  I missed the game of the year.  Ryan had a 30+ yard run.  He was excited.  Mike said that his coach was really happy for him too.  I so wish I would have been there.  I am so proud of him.  He has grown so much and keeps improving.  He is always happy, enjoys playing and never gives up.  So proud!

My trip to Ikea was fun.  6 hours in the car.  6 hours of shopping.   On the way home we stopped at an Oasis to pick up some food.  I was so excited.  This is something I have always wanted to do.  Seriously, ask anyone.  To top everything off, I got Taco Bell (I love that place and never get to go)!  

First Oasis stop.

Everything I had imagined.  I can't wait to take the kids.

Mt Dew Sangria....whaaat?!  It was pretty good!

When Tammy pulled into the driveway to drop me off, both kids were waving in the window.  It was adorable and made me smile.  They were as excited to see me as I was to see them!

Today was a little more relaxing.  Mike and Ryan went to a T Rat game with Liam and his dad to celebrate his 4th birthday.  Both boys had fun and were talking about going back to another game.  

The boys at the game.  Ryan's first T Rat game. 

Mike put together one of my Ikea purchases.  A loft bed for Ryan.  I think it will work out great for us.  It really opens up his room and he thinks it is super cool.  I hope it goes well!

Extreme big boy bed.

The only bummer of the weekend was that the first fun run was cancelled because of thunder storms.  The kis were so looking forward to it, especially Leah.  She has been talking about wanting to run with Mike for months now.  I guess we will have to wait two more weeks.
