Summer Fun

Today we had a backyard blowup pool play date with Logan and Nixon and mommy's play date partner Trisha. The boys bounced around, splashed, jumped and laughed in the pool, Miss. Allison splashed in her water table and Trisha and I lounged as much as we could. It is the first official hot day of the summer and the house heated up to 87 degrees. Paul worked all day today, came home for dinner where Andrew made his dreams come true. During dinner Andrew said "Andrew gets bigger, Andrew wanna be a knight and drive a horse" It was so cute, we all started to laugh. Paul took off after dinner to go meet up with some clients and I had a nice evening alone with the kiddos (and my blog).

Allison is now known as the girl with one million faces, mostly looks that would kill. My dad calls her a little spark plug. She really can give you the look of death if you tell her "no", I don't know where she gets it from. (ha ha). Yesterday, I was sitting down on the living room floor and Allison had just come in from playing outside, sat on my lap and said "Echhhh" which is what we tend to say when something is dirty or yucky. She kept saying it over and over and finally I looked down and she was holding a piece of dog poop! I couldn't believe it! She was right though, it was "Echhh". She is obsessed with her new baby doll. She can now say baby, but pronounces it almost like a southern belle. She has to go to bed with it every night, she is such a girl I love it!

Anyways back to tonight. I put Allison down with no problem and Andrew asked to watch a "mommy show" which is his way of trying to stay up later than he should. So being the overly tired mom that I am, I said OK. We watched "so you think you can dance" Andrew was sitting in Paul's spot on the couch and I laid down and put my head on his chest, just like I would do with Paul and Andrew put his arm around my neck and said "Andrew had fun swimming and laughing today, mommy you're my best friend". My heart melted. I never knew I would fall in love with any other male besides my husband, but I am head over heels in love with my little Andrew Clark.
