Our summer bucket list has been in effect for about a week. We have actually checked off a few activities on the list already. =)
Will ended up finishing his final swimming lesson so as part of the celebration for how awesome he did this year in lessons (and also because we miss Daddy during the week), we decided to meet him for lunch after Will's final lesson. We ended up going into this office because the kids think it is cool to visit Daddy in the office. They also like to see Ms. Yvonne who spoils them. Both kids came out with toy cars and Kenzie also walked away with a bracelet and sticker. Will would have gotten those too if he wanted them, but he was being a bit standoffish and chose to just drive his car around the floor while we chatted for a few minutes. We then left the office and went to Chick Fil A. We sometimes walk around Lake Eola and go to Panera, but we thought the kids would like Chick Fil A better. It worked out well and we had Daddy back to work within the hour.
We usually like to go out to eat on Friday nights, but this week had some difficult moments that required us to eat out at times we usually wouldn't so in an effort to save money (as well as combat the fact that Will has been difficult during some of our prior Friday night dinners out lately and that both kids were being iffy on the amount of food they were eating for a while after being sick), we decided to check off another item on the bucket list and we made homemade pizza and "rented" a movie. Sidenote: We probably don't need to worry about how much they eat anymore as both of their hollow legs seemed to have opened up in the last 3 days. We are going to go broke trying to keep these two full. Both of them have grown between .5 and 1 inch in the last month and a half too so I guess this is just par for the course. Anyway, we made our pizza together. Then we took it to the living room and sat down to watch the movie. The kids always think eating and watching TV is the coolest thing. We ended up borrowing Sleeping Beauty from the library. We made it about 1/2 way through before Kenzie was bored. She doesn't know what the classics are. Haha! We ended up switching to Disney Jr while they finished eating (everything in the house.)
We also did a few other things this weekend that weren't part of the bucket list but were fun none-the-less. We went out to Crystal River to see Steven's grandmother, aunt, and uncle. We ate lunch at Dan's Clam Stand which is awesome if you are ever in the neighborhood over there. They finally take credit cards too (I don't know that they did the last time we were there.) I don't even like clam chowder and theirs is awesome! (Note: Whatever was up with the kids last time we went out to eat seems to be fine. They were fine with me alone at Chilis and super great at lunch on Saturday. Thank goodness that was short lived.) We had a great time catching up. We do not see them very often so it was nice to get to do that. Kenzie decided that she needs to be our family photographer now. So, all except the pictures that have her in them were taken by her.
We also got the chance to go to our friends, Ryan and Jen's, gender reveal party on Sunday. We are so excited for them to have their first little one in October. Jen's due date is actually a few days after Will's birthday so we might end up with little ones sharing a birthday. At least they will (hopefully) share a birth month. Makes October more interesting as far as planning goes when we start working on birthday parties, but still fun. So excited for them. The party was Under the Sea themed and we had a great time. Kenzie and I were on team pink. Steven was on team blue.
And the winner was...
Blue! Looks like Will is going to have a little buddy almost exactly 2 years younger than him. =) So excited for them!
We had a pretty busy weekend. Next weekend we are a bit more low key. Father's Day is Sunday but we don't have anything big planned on Saturday so we will see what we can do. Thinking an easy pool morning and then it's all up in the air. =)
