Daddy had Thursday and Friday off, so we started our long weekend off by taking the kiddos swimming at Mrs. Kay's house. It was Brandt's first time in a pool, and he loved it! :) He just immediately relaxed and enjoyed floating around and kicking his legs. He floated for about 30 minutes, and then it was time for him to eat, so I fed him in a lounge chair by the pool while I watched Daddy and the girls play.
Felicity had a blast! It was such a fun family morning!
Avaree enjoyed every second of being in the water, but her skin paid for it afterward. I did all of our normal precautions, and we swam in Mrs. Kay's pool last year with no reaction, but this year, her skin broke out within an hour of getting out of the pool. Poor girl. She hates it, and so do we. I don't think we'll be swimming again this summer unless it's in a blow up pool with water hose water.
That afternoon, Daddy used some raincheck movie passes that we have had for over a year, and he took the girls on a date to see a movie! This was his first time to go on a date with both of them. They all had a blast!
I love those happy faces!!!
Avaree's legs were itchy, so I spent some extra time reading and cuddling with her that night. I started singing her favorite night night song, and she fell asleep holding my hand. Thanks for the picture, Daddy. :)
On Friday, we just hung out together all day, and we enjoyed the day! Chef Daddy made us some yummy quesadillas, and his presentation was beautiful!
Everyone gobbled up their dinner!
That night was Felicity's last night to sleep in her crib.
…and Avaree's last night to have a room to herself and be on the bottom bunk!
Brandt loves to "jump jump!" :)
…and eat his sunshine! ;)
On the 4th, I tried to get a group picture with my phone, but it was just a hilarious series of bloopers! ;)
My little man looked at me though! This sweet little blanket was made for his Mommy about 32 years ago! :)
He's always happy!
…and looks straight into my soul!
These three… ;)
That afternoon Mr. Bobby and Miss Bekah came over to ask Avaree if she would be the flower girl in their wedding next summer!
She was so excited for her Frozen goodies!
That evening was the great room transition! Brandt moved to Felicity's room, and he finally got to sleep in the beautiful bedding that Aunt Jamie made him before he was born! :) This sweet crib has held all three of our babies!
I just love his bedding so much! Thank you, Aunt J!
He had a rough first night, but he started out sleeping really well!
Little sis was so excited to move to Avaree's room! She's actually done so much better than we anticipated! When we ask her where her room is, she goes straight to Avaree's room. It took her no time at all to claim that room as her own. She has only asked for her crib once, and she sleeps really good in the big girl bed. The only issue has been her waking up super early, but we're working on that. Look at that happy face! This was her first night!
The girls read together on the bottom bunk, and then Avaree goes to the top! Felicity will tell her, "top," if she is ready to go to sleep! ;) They slept all night the first night! YAY!
I washed their outfits that evening, and they got to wear them again for church the next morning!
It's never a dull moment at our house!
Mommy had been up all night the previous night, so Daddy brought me a coke that afternoon, and it said, "Share a Coke with "better half." :) It was so sweet!
That evening, we had a little reading time before bed!
The second night was even better than the first!
We are thankful for a pretty smooth transition for our big girls and our boy!
:)
