Emily1 brought Brooks over for a visit. The boys had a blast!
At the end of the day we watched about 10 minutes of PBS Kids... don't judge me, it was only 10 minutes!
It was definitely a fun day. Jack and Colin were on the same nap schedule so that made things easy! (I probably could have put Colin down for another nap in the middle of the day but since Brooks was here I didn't want Colin to feel left out of the fun.)
Then later after everyone left we cleaned up so the BG&E HV A/C people could come and give us a fantastic new system! Jack played nicely with the only toy left out, he didn't seem to mind that everything else was packed away.
Today I went to story time at the mall - HUGE, HUGE, HUGE crowd of people. It was totally overwhelming, but luckily I was meeting some mommies from another group that I met online. They are super nice, and they have groups in every area in every state. So if you're a mommy, or a mommy to-be and you're thinking "Gee... I'd love to have a mommy group too." Check it out! Scroll down the page and you'll find regional groups - then broken down by state.
Then Lindsey and Cady met us for lunch and some retail-therapy. Cady showed Jack her keys, and then Jack showed Cady his keys. They spent a lot of time discussing how their stroller 'drives'.
This was the first video.
Jack had just rolled over (a fluke, I'm sure) and we were trying to get it on video to prove that he did it. We never did get it on video.
Jack was crowned king of all the land. Something about a sword and a stone; I'm a little fuzzy on the details.
We went to the herbalist...
where we learned about the fantastic properties of licorice root -slight numbing property and GREAT for teething!!
We saw Shakespeare's Scum perform; Jack is their biggest fan! With performances like "Macbeth in 30 minutes or less" we always enjoy their shows. (Puke and Snot is not performing until October this year - for those who love that show.)
It was a bit of a long day for Jack. But we had a fantastic time. We didn't expect top be able to be there as long as we were - you never know when the need for a nap will win out over other plans. We arrived at 10:30 and left at 4:30 YAY!

This was the best photo I got. Which is pretty good... I think...
Emily1 got a fun picture of Lindsey and me (Emily2).
When we got home from the party the family played on the bed, enjoying a some time together. The boys smiled for the camera and then Jack and Mommy tortured each other with tickles. (He kept accidentally tickling my knee by putting his mouth on it.)
I posed for my 7 month pictures. I love the camera and the camera loves me!
We went to Berlin and walked around. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the sights, I enjoyed my rattle.
After my exciting day I decided to kick my feet up, lean back and soak in my duck tub.
This is the life. I try to take time and reflect every once in a while and I've decided that I have it pretty good!
