Variety And Last Minute Schedule Change

The past week was full of a variety of fun. Last weekend, Erin took the girls to "Thomas Day" at the Library on Saturday. They had a lot of fun doing everything Thomas and it was quite busy. On Sunday we got to attend the birthday party for one of the neighbor girls. Water play, pizza and a big house to run around in made for a fun afternoon for the girls.

On Monday, my mom stopped by with my niece, Jocelyn. Jocelyn lives in Kansas City with my sister and brother-in-law so we don't get to see them very often. I was at work for the day, but the girls got a chance to play and eat lunch together. On Tuesday, I decided to take Abigail out for a daddy-daughter date night. We went to see Despicable Me 3 and ate pizza at Sam and Louie's. It was a lot of fun, although I think too many M&Ms at the movie gave Abigail a tummy ache.

Pizza and Oranges!

A couple more trips to the library, along with a trip to Michael's for arts and crafts rounded out the activities of the week. We were all set for an exciting trip to Kansas City for the weekend to visit my sister as well as Erin's aunt and uncle. Sadly, storms moved through late in the week that resulted in a flooded basement at Uncle John and Aunt Susan's house. We were devastated, not only because we were looking forward to the trip, but also because we really like John and Susan and it is always hard to hear of issues that family members are facing. Hopefully they can get things cleaned up quickly and we can find another chance to visit. 

With our weekend plans cancelled, Erin quickly registered to run the Bix 7 in the Quad Cities and headed off to her parent's house on Friday. That left me at home with 2 crazy little girls. On Friday evening we headed out to Brenton Arboretum South of Dallas Center to do some exploring. 

Running and Exploring!

This morning, we attended the end of summer party at the library. A bunch of random activities, super heroes, shaved ice and a bounce house made for a good time.

After the party we played at a park and stopped at McDonalds to pick up some lunch before taking a well needed nap.

Happy Meals

After nap we cooled off in our little deck pool and watched "Secret Life of Pets". It was a fun filled day and everyone went to bed happy. 

So much fun!

This next week the fun continues as I have a short week at work before all of us head to grandma and grandpa Weiler's house for a long weekend.
