Daddy's burfday

Erin has been so excited for Matt's birthday, it's been adorable.  We invited some friends over to have a bbq on our new grill, so I thought to myself, what better a present than some nice grilling tools?  He had to open his present early.

Then we had food with friends

And cake

And then Matt opened the present from Erin that she chose herself, a lego robot.

And the first thing she said to us this morning when she came into our room?  "Daddy, can we play wif legos??"  So they did.

What's in Daddy's tummy?

So today we went on our big grocery shopping trip, and we stopped at Burger King for lunch. They had this bell with a sign that said "If we did well, ring the bell!" Well, Erin LOVED the idea, so she had to ring it on the way out. She couldn't reach the pull, so I picked her up and she rang it. 

She wanted to do it again, and I said "No baby, you're too heavy for Mommy!"

So she said "Daddy could do it."

I rolled my eyes and said "Yes, well, Daddy doesn't have a baby in his tummy."

And she said "Nope, Daddy has poop!"

Water again!

We've been spending a lot of time outside now that we have our own yard.  And since it's summer, that means water.  Erin got a blow up kiddy pool for her birthday from a friend, so we decided to try it out today.

Erin took a pic of me.  I got in my suit, but didn't end up getting wet.  The fresh water was a tad cold for me.

But the kids loved the water, whatever the temperature.

My favorite picture

 After Patrick started shivering convulsively, though, I convinced them to go inside.  Which meant a movie and popcorn.

Sprinklers!

Since we have a lawn to take care of, we needed sprinklers!  Which means.....running in them! lol

He tried to climb up onto my lap...while soaking wet. :p

Grandparents!

Just a few of my favorite pictures from the visit of Gwamma and Kwampa.

Erin and Patrick's room

I figured out my issue, now it's time to play catch up

Here's Erin and Patrick's room

and after.

Erin has wanted a bicycle since Christmas, so we finally got her one for her birthday.
Testing it out

 Patrick keeping occupied

 We tried it out this afternoon, and she was good until she fell.

 Luckily Grandpa was here to make her feel better.
