last week...

was a busy week, as usual- tuesday, i took the kids to my friend's house with me while we worked out- thought they could play in the culdesac/garage while we were in there- (she has a tv in it and air hockey).. well, didnt work out quite as planned- first of all it was HOT- like hard to breathe hot- so it was not a good workout- second, jacob was petrified of the neighbor's dog, even though he was in a fence- every time it barked, he freaked out- so, next time, we will have brit watch the kids- or leave them at home with daddy! (my friend's daughter was napping)

on the way home, we drove by the splashpark- and it was open! (last summer, it was closed ALL SUMMER)... so the boys wanted to stop, so i said why not- so, they got in in their clothes- and had a blast- didnt pay much attention to the playground next to it... luckily i had an extra diaper and undies in the car for them.

so, the next day, i decide to go to ny pizzeria first (free kids on wed), and then take the boys to the splashpark again- prepared this time with swimsuits- so, we get there, and they really didnt care much about the splashpark (figures, now that they are dressed appropriately), instead they wanted to play on the playground- which was really NOT in my plan- first of all big kids running without looking and trampling little kids- but even worse, it was VERY slippery from wet kids - so the boys kept falling- and jacob thought it was funny to try to climb on and lean over every side/drop there was- much stress for mommy- too bad there isnt a fence dividing the two- so i could keep them in the splash park only! here are a few pics...

















friday, we dropped the expedition off for 4 new tires which were way past due- $738- (eek) and we went to dinner as a family- to johnny carino's- it was good food- and nice to have Just the family there- of course jacob was his usual self- throwing (i mean dropping, ahha) his crayons and color book on the ground- and making us laugh with his funny expressions- after that, we went home and packed for our weekend trip to louisiana to see grandma bird, grandma sylvia, papa lou, aunt lisa and cousin little...

i dont remember what else we did- oh but justin did have a playdate at his friend's house on friday- well he went swimming- they have a pool- i was a little nervous of course, since he is not a great swimmer, but they parents knew that and both were home in the pool with the kids- and he had a blast...
