Just L I V I N'

Not much going on here. Dan and I got a sitter on Saturday night and went to dinner and saw a movie, Horrible Bosses.  Pretty funny - good cast of actors.  We pretty much leave the house to go to the gym and workout, Vivian's gymnastics class and the pool.  If you are outside the best way to be is in the pool but even so the pool isn't very cool.  Kinda like warm bath water.  Vivian has a couple of older girls at the pool she's made friends with, Delaney and Sophia, who are both 8 yrs old.  Today someone put the hose from the pool into the water today to try and cool it down.  That would take forever! Henry played with the hose for a little while and kept saying "Fireman" over and over again.  Vivian went underwater today, but not by choice.  She was playing with her friend DeLaney who picked her up and bounced her, let her go and under she went.  She's was pretty scared when she came back up so I had to explain to DeLaney that she doesn't know how to go under water yet.

Today Vivian and I made chocolate chip cookies and Henry was excited to wake up from his nap to such a yummy treat.  Tonight after their bath I put a towel on Vivian's head like mom and she thought that was so funny! Vivian keeps asking what planet everyone lives on....I keep assuring her that we all live on the same planet. She then goes through a long list of names just to make sure they are truly on the same planet as her. Henry is quite the talker saying 4 word sentences and repeating everything! It's a big change and we are loving this age. Didn't feel like we ever got to do this with Vivian cause when she started talking she was talking so clear and in full sentences. Henry talks alot about "army men" and "mean guy"...pretty much anything can be either of these things. 

Last week she played at a friend's house, Haley, who has Kids Bop CD's in her room.  So Vivian came home asking for a Kids Bop CD that had the song "Please Dont' Stop the Music" by Rihanna. For those of you who don't know what Kids Bop CD's are they are the following: popular songs of today that are sung by kids for kids.  So it has Black Eyed Peas, Kesha, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, etc songs that are sung by kids and the lyrics are slightly altered so they are appriopriate for kids.  Vivian sings and sings and I have to say it's a much better change from Dora.  Although I have been able to get her to listen to ABBA lately.  She's keep to sing "Money, money, money must be funny in a rich man's world."  This will come in very handy since she's going with me and grandma Carol this coming weekend to see the musical Mama Mia!!

Enjoy your week and stay cool!!! Crazy hot out there.
