I Can Walk on Grass!

July 13-19

Since the weather has been so beautiful lately, we decided to have some family time out in the yard. Previously, Lucas would not step foot on the grass, but today he decided that it wasn't so bad. Ever since GiGi introduced him to the apple tree in our yard, he is obsessed and thinks he needs an apple off the tree every time we go outside!
























Our future "stick collector" walking on the grass for the first time (well not the very first time, but the first time that he actually liked it).


Tuesday we spent a lot of time up at the pool because we were having power issues out our house. So, we packed a bunch of water toys and lunch and spent several hours up at the pool. Lucas had a blast playing with the older kids and watching them "disappear" under the water. After a big lunch, Lucas became tired and took a 45 minute nap in the stroller. It would have been much longer, but some of the "rouger" people in our neighborhood decided it was the time to start arguing and screaming across the pool-not joking! That was our que to leave so we packed up just in time to meet Daddy at home. Since our power was still out, we packed up the family and went up to the Wheeler's for dinner. We headed out to Mexican after Lucas played with Pop's shoes for awhile.










I was really looking forward to Thursday because Penny was coming over to watch Lucas so I could go out and get a pedicure!!!! It is really sad that it was my first one since I was 9 months pregnant! Thanks Penny! After being pampered, we headed down to perimeter for some lunch and shopping. We ate at such a great French bistro, but I cannot remember it's name! Next, we headed into The Container Store. This was Lucas' first time being able to walk around the store, not in his stroller. We tried the stroller, but gave up after a major fit. So instead, he pushed the stroller!! Luke loved The Container Store and especially the kid's art table that they had set up. It will be a great addition to our playroom when Lucas gets older and can sit on a chair.

I was really looking forward to this weekend! We started it off at GiGi's for our Friday night dinner. Then on Saturday, we dropped Lucas off at my parent's new house and then Ben and I headed out for a movie. Since my parent's live in Canton, we went to a theater over there and saw Harry Potter. We really need to work on what to do with ourselves when we don't have Lucas! We ate so much popcorn and candy that we were not hungry for dinner after the movie and we could not come up with something to do! I know, sad huh? However, in our defense we were in a new area and didn't know everything around there. So, we headed back to my parent's house where we hung out for awhile. Since they are late-eaters, they started cooking when we started to get hungry again and we all had delicious steaks and potatoes. Thanks for watching Lucas for us!

Sunday we just played around the house and in the yard and then headed for dinner at O'Charleys with the Wheeler's. Ben's cousin and little girl are coming next week so we met up with them to give them a car seat. I can't wait for Lucas to meet some relatives!

Here is a video of our little soccer player!
