2 Week Wrap Up

We have had a busy past couple weeks between new house stuff and trying to squeeze every ounce out of the final weeks of summer.  This is the photo version of what has been happening:

Gymnastics has continued

 

She still loves it

Here she is sitting next to her best friend Mira, doing some stretches--these two are pretty silly together

 

Last day of soccer

She looks so big

Hard to see but she just scored a goal

Last team huddle

Last team cheer, Maggie loves saying "1,2,3...Soccer Shots!"

They received a water bottle on the last day

And someone was really excited about it

One afternoon I took the kids over to grandma's house to play--and lucky enough the Wiemert cousins were there too!

Luca really likes Tommy.  The little boys must have been told they couldn't play with the big girls

Maggie is still quite the Magna-Tile builder....

And Tommy is quite the Magna-Tile castle wrecker

Maggie builds something new nearly every night...

And Tommy attempts to destroy it every night.  Maggie will start screaming as soon as she sees him coming.  She knows there is no stopping him--he is like a bull in a china shop

We needed to make some returns at H&M, so the kids got to do a few rides at the mall again

We had an impromptu pool party at Aunt Kelly's house

Most of the bigger cousins

We tried to get them to jump at the same time--I would say their timing could use a little work

This group did much better

Tommy discovered how fun smashing his face against a glass door can be

We picked cousin Fiona up from daycare one day this week and met aunt Becky at Target for a giant shopping trip.  Now that Becky works at Target there is incentive to going shopping with her...

Tommy is a wild man in the bath.  Maggie doesn't even want to take a bath with him anymore.  He splashes violently the whole time.  When he needs to take a break from that he proceeds to stand up and sit down (fall down) over and over again...once again splashing Maggie in the face and giving mommies a heart attack.  He sure does love the water though.

Sometimes Maggie feels left out when we take Tommy's monthly photos--she is still our first love.

 

Meanwhile construction on the house has been progressing

Seems like it is going up so fast, obviously once it gets to the framing/interior things will slow down a bit.  We still have so many things decide on in the meantime.  At least 2-3 nights a week we have been meeting with various people to pick things out, this has resulted in some pretty long days for both kids at school.
