Two Kids in Tow

Today we started off with a little swim. Luckily we did that early b/c it was rainy and overcast the rest of the day. While we were swimming we were noticing how dead our plants were looking. Ben went to turn the water up and realized that someone had turned off our water. ARGHH!! I called our neighbors to tell them about it and the same thing happened to them too! I don't understand why someone would think that was funny....it's just SAD!!
Anyway, after swimming my Mom took Ethan and Aubrie out for the day. They had a fun day cleaning up at the dollar store, eating and playing at the mall, and stopping at Dairy Queen for the finale! They always get spoiled when my Mom takes them out.

While they were out, Ben and I took Boston and Sophia out to Olive Garden and made a quick stop at Sams. It was weird just having the two. I thought "this is how it feels to be the average person in this world...two kids that are five years apart". It was nice at first, but then was almost a little boring. Funny how they can drive us crazy, but when we are away from them we start to miss them like crazy!

This evening I spent getting things ready for tomorrow....it's my Moms birthday! I'm having my brother's over for dinner to celebrate. I had to make an ice cream cake and a few things for dinner. Then Ben and I watched Bourne Supremacy to get us ready for the opening of Bourne Ultimatum, that starts next Friday....YEAH!!!

Get Your Lemonade

Yesterday I had to go through Sophia's clothes and pull the ones that are too small. I remember when she didn't fit in her smallest of clothes. Now I look at them and think, "How were these ever too big for her? Even though she is small for a 3 1/2 month old, she has grown so much in my eyes.

Yesterday I went to visit some friends , who have recently moved. It was fun seeing their new houses and what they had done w/ them. I love seeing how people decorate their houses and what things they choose to put in them, ie flooring, paint, etc. Isn't it great that there are so many different possibilities in house floor plans and decorating them?! How boring it would be if every one's house was the same. It even amazes me how different my house looks compared to those who have the same floor plan as I do.

Around 5:00 pm last night, the kids decided they wanted to do a lemonade stand. We started to put up a fight since it was so late, but then I realized it was probably the best time, with it being a little cooler and people coming home from work and all. After about 20 minutes, the neighbor kids showed up with their real lemonade stand and they sold lemonade for another 30 minutes. After they were done they ended up with 5 dollars. They were pretty excited. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture!

Last night Ben and I went out on our normal date night, while my Mom stayed w/ the kids. We grabbed some dinner at Carvers, then some ice cream at Maggie Moo's and then went to see Harry Potter with our huge $1.oo souvenir cup of soda. I don't know why I'm not losing my baby weight, HA! When we got home the kids were crashed out on the couch. They fell asleep watching a movie. Guess my Mom wore them out!
