So we have been doing things other than just getting a home. June 5th was Wesley's birthday. He turned three years old and is one smart cookie. The weekend before (or was it after) his birthday we went to the Milwaukee childrens museum to celebrate.
Here we have Kate, Kairi and Wesley. Nowadays Kairi does not have a hair tie just so other people can tell them apart. Sometimes though she likes to trick people and asks me to put on in her hair just to mix things up!
Wesley has been asking to go on a real boat ride lately. Perhaps he was remembering this awesome boat he got to try out. Speaking of boats I'm reminded of my last date idea to go boating. We even managed to get a babysitter and find the boat rental place. However they didn't take cards and their atm was out so we went mini-golfing instead. Oh well. One day.
The girls really liked this spot. They didn't dance as much as hang on the bars until they both got hurt.
Wesley had two cakes for his birthday. One is a Thomas cake made by Amanda.
The other was a batman cake with a bat symbol made by Amanda. This one was a little harder. If you ask Wesley this sentence: "Batman is here to say..." he will still finish it off with "Happy Birthday to Wesley!" Thanks for the card Michelle.
On Wesley's actual birthday we went to the splash pad. None of our invited friends came, but we still had some fun checking out the new park next to the water that sprang up out of nowhere.
Here is Batman eating some cake.
You can't be Wesley unless you love Back to the Future. He got a delorean for his birthday. However it was more fragile than we expected so it currently has a new home until he's gentler with his legos. Stay tuned to see where it went!
We were determined not to miss Strawberry picking this year so I wrote it a year in advance on my calendar when the season would be. However since we had a long heat wave the strawberries got ripe too soon. We got to the field to pick them on the last day they were available to be picked which would have been the first day available last year.
Here's the strawberries we got. They didn't last too long since kids plus strawberries go together.
Here is a picture of three hot kids on a train ride in July. Speaking of that month the twins are now 18 months and in nursery. With their fear of everything, it's safe to say that currently they hate it even when mom stays in there with them the whole time.... I'm hoping their fear of transistions and strangers goes away really really soon.
I finished a project I had been wanting to work on for some time. I hope you can tell what it is!
In July we went to the annual Epicnic at Daddy's work. This year Wesley and dad climbed up on top of a fire truck. It was a large step from last year when he wouldn't even sit in the front seat.
Wesley is very excited about this place. If only we lived closer to it! Here we are at a lego store!! He got to pick out some legos to go in a bucket and he was super thrilled. The girls helped to pick out legos too as well as mix the colors together and dump legos on the floor.
And here it is everyone!
You have found the new spot for the delorean. This sits on top of the fireplace and makes a nice centerpiece especially if you like clocktowers and trains and deloreans. The clock tower was purchased from the lego store. The rest we already had.
A weekend ago we went to a beach in Middleton to play in some hard sand and watch boats. The kids enjoyed it for a half hour or so then we played at a nearby park.
Alright. I hope you enjoyed the update. I had to get this done before I accumulated to many family reunion pictures at the end of the month... assuming that I remember to take any. :)
