The poor neglected fancy camera is probably crying in the cabinet. But that doesn’t mean I’m not as photo obsessed as ever. So here is what was notable for the rest of the month of June!
The neighborhood garage sale! It was smaller than usual this year, but it was a gorgeous day for a walk either way. Natalie got a super adorable doggie backpack for her feeding pump and I got to test it out while we were out garage sale-ing. It worked pretty well and was much easier to deal with than the usual carabiner clamp on the handle that I have been rigging up on the stroller handle.
The absolute best part of the garage sale was this one house that had tables piled high full of books that looked like elementary school reading books. And the best part was the sign that said “Free!” I let both of the boys pick out a handful, while Matt and I did the same. I think we ended up with at least two duplicates, but who cares? Books!!
Post hospital stay check-up with the pediatrician. She was pretty excited to see mommy in the middle of the day. I’d be lying if I didn’t say the feeling was mutual. :)
I picked Thomas up from camp one day and he wanted to show off his masterpiece that he was writing. To be honest, it’s about the same spelling as the actual Captain Underpants books since they are supposedly written by fifth graders. In case you can’t quite interpret it: “Tra-la-la. The Captain Underpants tried to fly, but he could not fly.” Can’t wait to see the illustrations that go with the book! :)
Our weekends are pretty much the same, so a slight deviation from the usual errand running makes the boys pretty excited. Case in point - we left the house a little early to go pick up groceries (Click-List!) so we could spend about 10 minutes at a new park. They protested a little at leaving so soon, but were overall still happy about it.
Another lunch date with Henry! Maybe I can convince him to go somewhere beside Subway next time… ;)
Part of our lunch date was to go buy him some jeans at the mall. He hasn’t worn jeans since he stopped wearing diapers because he much preferred elastic pants once he was in charge of putting them on. But he’s been wearing the knees out on all of his pants recently and I convinced him that he needed some tougher pants. He seemed excited about buying them, but we’ll see if he wears them or not…
