funky friday

mondays are blah, fridays can be just the opposite, as was the case yesterday! it started out freakishly well and ended up with both kids screaming before bedtime; that's another story, though. but we had a really good morning, which counts for something!

cole figured out how to make his own table and chair all by himself. he thought he was the man... if you can't tell.

madison and mommy!!

cole started entertaining madison for the first time! lately, madison's been breaking into grins and giggles when she sees cole (most of the time) but this was the first time they've ever really "played" together... it was SO neat to watch and they had me giggling too. i'm willing to bet that it was a good half hour that they were playing together. nice!

too bad it's blurry, but yes, miss squish was getting a big kick out of her big brother! he wasn't really doing all that much- just clapping and then squealing and laughing, but it sure made her crack up.

i polished the bathroom floor yesterday morning, so cole decided he'd 'polish' the rest of the floors for me. what a biug helper! if i'd been thinking straight, i could've put a swiffer cloth on it and he could have helped for real. next time... :)

we'd planned to take the kids swimming at the rec center yesterday afternoon, but they've changed their summer hours and now close at 6. we got there just after 5.30, so no swimming for us. we did get cole signed up for parent/tot swimming classes though! they start next tuesday (the 23rd) at 6 pm and run through august 4th. i'm excited- this'll be the first time we actually do a structured group activity with him! i just hope he loves the water as much as he did last year. i'm kind of missing the apartment and pool in casa grande- good times! (i don't, however, miss our upstairs neighbor...) that reminds me of heat, which brings to memory the weather we had yesterday and i've just gotta say, our 'new' central air is awesome!! of course, the upstairs is still quite a bit warmer than the first floor, especially the kids' room because there's no vent, but it's better that nothing. in fact, it works so well i've been running it only occassionally! i'm so glad we were able to get it in this year... *grin*
