Summer Finally Arrived

Well, it seems like summer has finally arrived in Detroit, although it hasn’t been without rain.  The temperatures were beautiful this weekend, a little muddy and had to work between the rain, but we got a lot of outdoor work in.  On Sunday, we got our flowers and vegetables planted.  When we were shopping for them on Saturday, the three girls wanted to buy all kinds of plants (we didn’t buy too many) but they were certain they would help us plant them all.  Well, they lasted all of a couple of minutes – Megan a little longer than the other two, they were more interested in the water.

Taking a popsicle break, the twins actually wanted one, they only ate a little, but they said they liked them. 

On Monday, we went to the New Baltimore Memorial Parade, the parade only lasts a couple of minutes but the girls enjoy it.  Uncle Bob even came for the big parade.  In the afternoon, we went to our neighbors for a pool party, we all came away with a little (or a lot) too much sun.

School is winding down quickly.  8 days for me, 9 for Megan.  Grammy and Papa will be here next week so Megan will be able to sleep in.  The twins will be done with daycare this week, it will be sad to leave Ms. Margaret and Mr. Tony having been there for 7 years!

Keeping Busy

We have been keeping busy the last couple of weeks, seems like something is going on every night.  We finally had a nice weekend, we spent most of the weekend outside.  I had all intentions of updating the blog last night but by time we came inside I had to get some school work done.  Hard to believe that the school year is ending (less than 3 weeks to go)! 

The twinkies showing some sisterly love!   

We were finally able to let our butterflies go – I was beginning to feel sorry for them and worried they would die on us, but they were fine.  There are no pictures of Annalyse because she was scared to death of them.  Not sure why, I thought she usually enjoyed them at the zoo.   

Soccer season is coming to an end.  Megan’s last game is on Thursday (what an exciting anniversary present :).  Her team is doing pretty well, they have won two and probably tied 4 and then lost maybe 2.  A big improvement from the first half of the season in the fall.  We tried to sign the twins up to play in the fall but they are too young by a few months – they were quite disappointed.  Mega is #6 in these pictures.  

Sunday we spent the day outside again enjoying the weather, they even went in the sprinkler!

The girls have also been taking swim lessons on Monday and Wednesday nights.  The twins (and Megan) absolutely love them!  They are so excited to go, they are going to be disappointed when they end.
