Week of August 23rd

We started this off with Vivian's soccer class and a quick trip to the gym so mom could workout!  Vivian still says she doesn't like soccer, but seems to have fun when she's there.  I did learn on Monday that her class is moving to Friday mornings instead of Mondays.  Not too thrilled about that but I want to make sure she stays with Coach Andrew and Coach Lauren.  Also, the only other classes on Tues and Thurs mornings and she will be starting preschool in 2 weeks on Tues and Thurs mornings so that won't work.  Bummer.  Monday afternoon the neighbor girl, Janae came over to play while Henry was asleep.  Wonderful for mom cause it keeps my non-napping 3 1/2 year old out of my hair for a couple of hours! So I actually had sometime to finish the trim in Vivian's room and the master bedroom.

 Monday evening we went to DQ after dinner to celebrate Vivian pooping on the potty and actually wiping herself! Big deal for sure!  Once we ordered in the drive thru and pulled around to the window we realized that I forgot my debit card and Dan didn't have his wallet...we were all disappointed.  So we drove back home and ended up going to McDonald's and getting her a fruit smoothie.

The weateher has been great here this week and every afternoon and evening the neighborhood kids have been playing in the cul de sac for hours!  Finally we can enjoy being outside! Vivian chases after the older kids 6 /7 and is getting really good on her scooter.  A wonderful score by Grandma Jackie at a garage sale!

Wednesday morning Vivian went to art class for two hours and Henry and I went to the gym.  The neighbor girl, Janae is over again, which is why I actually have time to sit down and write something new on the blog. I know you all realize I am a detailed person, but I'm trying to keep the blogs short.  :-) 

Thursday and Friday we don't have much going on except our 5 year wedding anniversary is Friday. I've already made Dan fully aware that I'm expecting some red carpet treatment for the good old number 5, so I'm anxious to see what he's got planned.  Please, don't act at all surprised by that....you know me too well. :-)

Happy Wednesday!
