What a Week!

This week started out great! Trent came home from basketball with his friends Monday morning and said that he didn't want to do any yard work that day and felt like doing something fun. We have a big list of stuff to be done, most to be done before this little bambino arrives, but we said, "Who Cares?" Our first stop was a yummy place called "The Counter" for some delicious made to order hamburgers. Then we used a free family pass we had and went to Discovery Gateway. Our kids could stay there all day. They could spend an hour at each exhibit. We had to keep them moving to cover the whole thing in a reasonable amount of time. Then we changed the kids into their swimsuits and let them play in the fountain at The Gateway before heading or dipped cones at Dairy Queen. What a day! It was fantastic. It was like a "staycation". That night I told Trent what a great day, now I am ready for the baby. My luck though this baby will have to be told to come out.






Another highlight of the week was a gift to get a manicure and a pedicure. It had a been years. We went to the Super Wal-mart's salon (I know- in a previous post I said Wal-Mart was dead to me, but they may have redeemed themselves). I felt so bad for the guy that had to work on my feet (Right Breanne?). It feels so good to have my nails and feet done. I wish I could do that on a regular basis.


The next big highlight of the week was Connor's Preschool graduation. I can't believe it! It feels like he just started! I have to say I was a little sad. Is this how his whole life is going to go?- really fast! I loved his preschool and his teacher and he loved it, too. He loved "Preschool days".

Here he is ready to perform some songs

Connor choking his friend Cameron (when I saw this picture on my camera I had to laugh. Maybe we should've intervened? :) )

This is Connor with his adorable girlfriend Ellie. He has told me a few different times that he wants to marry her. He played at her house the other day and after I asked him if he still wanted to marry her and he said "Yes- But I forgot to tell her!" He was all worried that he forgot, it was funny.

I've wondered about The Counter. How are the burgers?

We enjoyed our Discovery Gateway pass this last week too! What a fun post. Thanks! We're excited for your bambino. And we're sorry we're not going to get to see him in person for at least 3 months!
