After naps we headed to Thad's parent and had dinner with Thad's & Matt's families to celebrate the baby blessing, and Thad's birthday. Yes, I made two Oreo cakes because Thad wanted to make sure he had plenty left over to eat this week.
Andi has been talking about what to get Daddy for his birthday for a month now, and this is what she kept talking about, so I let her get it. Needless to say, they've both been enjoying it this week.
The kids were in the pool off an on this week at G&G Bulkeley's and poor Sammy could not join in the fun, but we found a place he likes even better than the pool.
Yes, the inside of the old Toyota. It might be his favorite thing ever. Okay maybe the Toyota ties with Oreo's. This is what happens when Daddy is snacking in the front room.
While we are still talking about Sammy he got his cast off on Friday. The finger still looks pretty gross because it's still healing, but we just have to keep band aids on it now. Although the first couple of times Sammy bumped it or grabbed something too quickly with that hand, he was definitely missing the protection of the cast.
Andi has had a lot of new things going on this week. We started homeschooling Monday and she has loved it. She sped through everything this week and kept asking for more school work. She also went back to dance this week and loved that as well. She does NOT love putting her tights on. Her eczema is pretty bad right now from all the swimming so the tights were driving her crazy, but she did great. She is in Cathy's class this year and there are a ton of girls, but it's going to be a good class. We also brought home Andi's first pet. A desert tortoise that she has named Slow Poke, Pokey for short. If that poor thing survives all the love, it will be a miracle. You wouldn't think a tortoise would be a very exciting pet, but Andi watched that little guy all day long. We made a little "Tortoise run" area in the flower bed for him to roam during the day. Thad bricked in a section and dug a little burrow, and it's cute.
