Dada had off on Friday so we all headed to Maumee Bay to play at the beach. The kids had a great time chasing seagulls (yes, yes, Mary Alice... I mean lake gulls, hehe), playing in the sand, and Carrie did get a little wet, but it was cooler than last Monday when we went. It was fun to have Dada there with us! Nobody even got sunburned- yay!
Friday night we drove back out that direction to the Drive In. It was Liam's first movie experience in a theater (so to say) and they saw Ice Age 3 and Night at the Museum 2. We had sleeping bags in the back of Pepe and Liam didn't make it through the second movie, but Carrie did. They enjoyed Ice Age and have been talking about Buck ever since.
Dada and Carrie ran errands on the 4th and came home with a 10'x10' screened tent! So we slept out in the yard that night. Liam fell asleep in his sleeping bag with his arms up over his head. When the neighbors started with the firecrackers, in his sleep he moved his hands to his ears and slept like that! I tried to take a picture with my cell phone but it was too dark. He looked adorable asleep with his ears covered up. The neighborhood quieted down around 2:30 and then the sun came blazing around 6, so we didn't get much sleep but had a good time... the kids did surprisingly well for it being their 1st time "camping in a tent." Even with it being screened in, Carrie managed to get munched on by some bugs, so the poor girl is all itchy with big red welts. Of course they nibbled her in annoying places like between her fingers, on her ears, forehead, back of her neck. Come to think of it, though, anyplace a bug bites you is an annoying place, right?
Yesterday we barely made it to the 10:45 service at church, I had babies at the 12:30, and then we had lunch and naps. The house looks like a tornado hit, PaPa comes to visit this week, and moms' group will be here Wednesday morning. Guess I better go get busy cleaning up! Have a great week, everyone!
