06.21.10 :: 181 weeks old

Today is the summer solstice. The longest day of the year! It surely felt like it too! The kids wouldn’t go to bed tonight as early as usual, and Sean even said to me “Mommy, it’s not dark out yet, how can it be bedtime?” (Must get blackout blinds for their windows). Mack’s moving into Sean’s room very shortly into a big boy bed, as we prepare for their sister’s arrival. I can’t wait to re-do the nursery in more feminine tones.

Sean is 181 weeks old today.

After running a lot of errands this morning I did some stuff around the house this afternoon and then headed over to daycare to pick up the boys early from school. We then headed over for an afternoon playdate with Sean’s buddy from his soccer team. We’ve gotten really close with their family. It’s really nice that her kids are all born the same year as mine. (2006, 2008 and we’re both pregnant for a 2010 baby). She’s due in 4 weeks with her 2nd girl. Her oldest is a boy, (a few months older than Sean) then she has a girl, 3 months older than Mack.

It was such a beautiful day out today, that I am glad the kids got to play outside.
And eat freezies. Summer’s best friend.
Mack won’t eat anything cold. (Freezies, popsicles or ice cream).

And drink lots of juice.
It’s so cute how this gang likes to do everything together.

This evening before dinner, the kids played a bit at home in our circle on their trikes. Taking advantage of this beautiful weather before it is no longer.

ps- Just a reminder that I'm throwing a contest for this entire month! Details are here. I’m giving away some prizes tomorrow, so stay tuned & keep commenting!
