Fourth of July Weekend Part 2

Surprise I didn't get a blog post written yesterday. I really shouldn't be surprised. It seems to be the way things go these days. I probably have said this a million times but 3 kids is no joke. I read somewhere that mom's of 3 kids feel the most overwhelmed. I have no idea if it is true, but many days I FEEL this. 

Back to our holiday weekend...........

Saturday night we went swimming at Aunt Toni's house again. 

 

I love Lilliana's swimsuit. The funny thing is I bought them all two swimsuits back in May at Meijer on sale. She got a 3t suit. The first time we put them on it was almost too small. It was riding up her bottom and just looked uncomfortable. So move ahead a couple weeks I was at target and they had suits on sale. I picked up 2 4t ones. I get this on her and it is droopy in the bottom. She looks cute but the girl can't win in the swimsuit department. She has a very long torso I think is the problem. 

 

I should add that Ari's name is bruise to all the accidents he has while hitting his head. He fell out of the motor home the day before when we were up north and banged up the side of his head. 

 Eli has not really wanted to jump in at the pool. He half does it by sitting on the side and scoots into the water. That night he finally jumped in on his own. 

 

 We came home and I had the kids get ready for bed. We still had not done fireworks sparklers so we did them before bed. I also braided Lilliana's hair in an inside out braid. Her hair is finally getting long enough to braid again. 

 

 

They both loved doing them. Having an older sibling for Lilliana is good and bad. The good thing is she really loves to do what he does but sometimes I worry she is too young. She insisted on having her own like Eli. 

 Sunday was relaxing. We caught up on things and Eli finished "digging for his T-Rex." Before Eli was even born and we knew what he was Anthony picked up a book about Dinosaurs. It has some plaster with plastic bones in it that had to be dug up and put together. He bought it hoping to do it with Eli when he was older. Well Eli is older and 4 years later he did it. Eli LOVED it. 

 

All in all it was a wonderful weekend. It was nice to spend time with Anthony and enjoy summer. We are off for a bike ride and day outside. Have a wonderful Thursday.
