Summer Fun... In April

Believe it or not it has been over 90 degrees in Philly in April! We had an official heat wave! We took advantage of the awesome weather and spent pretty much all weekend outside. Karen and Sara came up to hang out with us too.

We pulled the pool out and filled it up. The water was actually freezing, but the girls didn't seem to mind at all! Here's a bunch of pictures of them playing in it:

Sara hung out in Livi's stroller watching the girls play in the pool.

I think she had a good time too.

All that fun tired out the girls! Both Sara and Livi crashed downstairs.

I know this isn't the best picture, but it is so darn funny. We went to the pool this morning and Livi fell asleep in my arms IN THE POOL! This kid can really literally sleep anywhere! I laid her on the towel to take her picture, then I transferred her to the shade of her stroller, while everyone else finished swimming. We left the pool not long after this because it was just too hot if you weren't in the water!

Happy Birthday Katie!!

Yesterday we went to Katie's 3rd birthday party. We had a great time! Juli is looking forward to trying out all of Katie's new toys! LOL

The kids had a great time in the pool!

Livi had a good time too. That's her "cheese" face. LOL

There's Katie's cheese face - and Uncle Joe's too in the background!

Livi wearing "gobbles".

Yummy cake!

Oh, just wait 10 years...

Katie, Juli and Kelly

WAIT A MINUTE! Who's that I see??

OH NO! It can't be!!

It's DORA!!! (And Maddie)

Most of the kids were afraid of the "life-size" Dora, Katie & Livi included. Juli seemed to like her and was excited to get her picture taken with Dora. Since the kids were afraid, Dora was beheaded and Karen was exposed until after cake.

Juli and Dora.

Livi would rather just stick to a Dora hat.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!"

Ok so Livi didn't really say that, but it's what she meant! LOL

Our Great Adventure

Today was a crazy day. We were all set to go to Great Adventure for my dad's birthday (Happy Birthday Dad!!) with our whole family and my aunt and cousins. The tickets for all three parks were purchased weeks ago. I ran around like a nut last night and this morning packing and getting all of our stuff together. We hop in the car bright and early this morning and we get 3/4 of the way to my mom and dad's house to meet Karen when Olivia throws up ALL over herself, the car, her carseat, just everything. Juli had also been coughing a lot and gagged a few times. We were 2 blocks from my brother and sister's apartment so I gave them our tickets and had to head home. Luckily they found someone to give them to.

Juli was REALLY disappointed that we couldn't go. Livi fell asleep on the way home and I guess it made her feel better. She was fine the rest of the day.

When we got home I pulled the carseat out of the car and hosed everything down. I had a scrub brush and a toothbrush for scrubbing the crevices. Once I was finished I put them down to rinse the carseat. When I turned around Juli had pulled her scooter out of the garage and was cleaning it "just like Daddy does to his bike".

Since Livi seemed to be feeling better we decided to go out in the little pool for a while.

Juli found this flower and put it in her bucket and told me she had a beautiful present to make me smile. It certainly did and I needed that today.
