Weekend Update

Lisa had her big clothing sale on Sunday, so I had the girls to myself (mostly). Their Mom-mom came over and we went to the zoo for a few hours in the morning. We let them out at the Children's Zoo and we ended up spending about 45 minutes in there. They loved feeding and brushing the goats and we spent most of our time doing that. e then let them go on the pony rides. Only Ava cried but it was just when she lost sight of Kass and I. We stayed until 12:30, but Ava passed out in the stroller on the way back to the car. She was zooed out.




We brought them home and put them in for a nap. That didn't happen. I got them out about 45 minutes after they went in and we played the rest of the afternoon. We watched the men's water polo finale and a few other Olympic events beore we ate dinner. When Lisa got home, she had some surprises for the girls...princess clothes. Here are Olivia and Ava all decked out.



Tonight we went to the St. Joan's Carnival. After we bought the rie tickets, we realized the girls are only big enough to go on one ride by themselves and a few with us. So, we did the Merry-go-round and Lisa took them on the spinning dragons. After that we had some water ice, played the cake booth and went home. We didn't get in until 8:30!! Late night!

Check out the medal count

Mike and I are exhausted because we haven't gone to bed at a decent time all week. They schedule the really good stuff for so late!! Mike is watching handball and badminton online!! I think we need an intervention. Going out of your way to watch badminton?

Team USA

I love an Olympic year!! Mike and I are glued to the TV like crazy people!! It makes us want to be there. Just two more years until Vancouver!! If you want to watch something really cool, check out the white water kayaking coverage or the handball games. I know what you are thinking, but no we do not subscribe to Obscure Sports Quarterly!! Phelps has two gold already, Swim Michael Swim!!

Dont' drink and Paint! That is the moral of the story and this is the story. I decided to redo our bedroom. With my trusty sidekick (Mom), I got paint, a new bedspread, and lamps. Then I recruited Mike to paint with me. On a Saturday night, we opened a bottle of wine and went to work. Just as we were finishing, I climbed up on the step ladder to show Mike a spot he missed and when I stepped down, I stepped directly in the tray of paint!!! My whole foot right in the paint! We laughed so hard and Mike had to lay the tarp down into the bathroom so I could hobble into the shower and wash my foot off!!

The used equipment and clothing sale for South Jersey Mothers of Multiples is coming up. Sunday August 24 from 1 to 4 pm. It is at the Blue Barn in Marlton. If anyone needs anything, you should check out the sale. We have about 50 sellers. Clothes up to size 8 and tons of baby equipment. I am on the committee this year so I will be there all day. I'm pretty sure that I am working the hold area, so if anyone comes to the sale stop over and say hi!!
