I love the summer even when it's hot - and boy was the beginning of this week hot! Lucy and I started the week out right with a few pool days, but I quickly realized that I need to spread it out, as she gets exhausted easily and an overly tired cranky toddler is no fun. It doesn't help that the pool doesn't open until 1pm - right smack in the middle of nap time! They do have a toddler time in the morning for a few hours, but it is in the middle of the "big kids" swim lessons, so every "little brother" and "little sister" who aren't old enough to be in swim lessons are crowding the toddler area and it's crazy and stressful (especially for me).
Yesterday (and today) my parents came to help put together a new present for Lucy - her own Playhouse! I LOVED my playhouse growing up, and based on her squeals tonight after seeing/playing in the finished product, I know she will too! :) We still have the "kitchen" to install inside, but it's pretty much completed. Isn't it adorable?
She's even more adorable though...
Yesterday night we also made our annual trip to the Tremont Turkeyfest to get Turkey sandwiches and Strawberry Shortcakes. Yum! We ran into Grandpa Rapp at Marcus's grandma's house in Tremont and enjoyed our food while sitting out on the back porch. It was perfect weather and a fun Friday night!
Today I am 24 weeks pregnant and while I know I've said how much I love summer, I am reserving the right to change my mind in a few weeks! I'm feeling great currently, but I know how quickly you start to really feel pregnant, so once that hits I might not love the heat and humidity as much! I'm guessing my feet won't either!
Before I was even pregnant, a cute little childrens boutique was closing in Morton and the lady who owned it was getting rid of everything at great prices. They had a floor sample of some bedding that I LOVED when I was pregnant with Lucy, but back then I wasn't willing to pay full price for it. Well, the last day she was open I went in and saw it and asked if she was selling it and she gave me and AWESOME deal. It's pretty gender neutral (but a little more girlie) so it is perfect now that we are having another girl! :) So, a few weeks ago we painted the nursery to match the new bedding and now we just need to move Lucy to her "big girl" room! We have a twin bed ready for her new room, but she goes to sleep so easily (it's taken us a while to get to this point) that I hate to change it up on her now. Maybe in a few weeks...when I'm having a hard time sleeping anyhow :)
