Day 20: Splashway and Friends

June 27, 2013

Yesterday was one of those days that will be cornerstone. We went to Splashway Family Waterpark in Sheridan, Texas. Sheridan is the definition of "podunk". It took us 20 minutes to get out near where our friends the Bedo's have their church, then we had to go 50 more minutes from there to get to Sheridan. I  was afraid that it was going to be one slide and a big pool. Cullen enjoyed the mess out of it!

This was the cave slide. Cullen loved it and went down it twice.

Cullen got to meet "Ray" the official mascot of Splashway Waterparks. Cullen ended up giving him a few hugs.

That evening as we got home we got to go to the Bedo's. After Dinner Shannon asked if the boys wanted to go swimming in the Kiddie Pool. Of course Cullen did!

Day 18: Cullens Hair and Sunglasses

June 25, 2013

Addie called an audible on us last night. She really wanted to stay up, partly because she was so clogged up in the nose. We spent the night together, and I mean the middle of the night together watching the rest of The Avengers, and then What to Expect when Your Expecting (not that good.)

Somewhere during that she took my cell phone which was open to my Twitter client (Tweetbot) and she was able to send this tweet off. I don't know how she did it but there was a big series of buttons that she would have to do to get a tweet open, type the words, and then press send. Way to go Addie!

 

SOmetime that morning when we finally go up, Corrie let me sleep a tad. We got up and went to the YMCA. We missed the chance to go to a class, but made up for it by going to the Weightroom and working out. After the Y we went to go eat at Chick-Fil-A. The memory from that event was the following:

 

This evening after dinner at Fuzzy's (likely) we went to Target to look for the Thor and Captain America action figures. Because what 3 year old doesn't need a complete set? Cullen fell in love with the masks, although he ultimately gave up the masks in lieu of the Captain America figure.

 

Which of these is not like the other?

 I really need sunglasses. I'm not hip enough for these though.

Day 17: Iron Man and the Pool

June 24, 2013

This morning started out pretty slow with us getting a late start. We were supposed to go to the YMCA but didn't make it because I slept in. I felt pretty bad about that but I was glad that Corrie was a forgiving wife. To make matters worse, I had to leave her pretty soon after I got up because I had to go to my old school to do some a quick teaching session with my former principal (still sounds weird to say). Corrie was gracious and put down Addie and then took Cullen for a swim before she put him down.

I love this action shot of him!

When I got back to house it was time for me to get a nap as Corrie hadn't napped yet. I played with Addie for a while and let her play until Cullen got up from his nap. Cullen wanted to watch Iron Man (Surprise, Surprise!) We got ourselves ready and went to a Body Step Class at the YMCA that night.

WE finished off the evening at Menchies getting Fro-Yo. We like there spoons.

Day 16: Church and Swimming

June 23, 2013

Addie woke us up at 5:30. That meant that I had a good 4-5 hours of sound sleep before my darling daughter decided to wake us up. It was hard for me to get up around 9 when we woke up, primarily because we sleep hard. Cullen of course was in our bed by 7:00 AM. It's not easy to get sleep in this house!

Sibling love. from scorrie

We got to church and met the Lloyd's. They are taking over our class in August and look to make it even better than it was. I am excited for the passion that is laid on their hearts and how they will develop us as parents raising little ones.

After church we had lunch with our friends the Adams. They are as close to having a standing Sunday afternoon date. We don't play elitist, we just know they are always game for some food.

After nap time, it was pool time...of course we had to watch a little bit of the avengers. Cullen loves for me to cover his eyes so he doesn't see the scary parts. Apparently tonight they were all scary parts. Haha!

Swimming follies from scorrie

I gave him a hug before I sent him off to bed.

Big hug little hug from scorrie

Oh and Pierre says Hi!

Day 15: Dinner and Movie, but not for me!

June 22, 2013

It was a rather simple day today.  We woke up this morning a little later than normal, probably because Addie was carrying over her fever from last night. When I got her up I could tell that she was hotter. When we got the thermometer under her arm and she had nearly a 101.8 temperature. We immediately started the Motrin/Tylenol alternate medicine protocol that we were taught by Dr. Y years ago. We played around the house during breakfast but it wasn't that easy because I wanted to keep Cullen separated from Addie so that Cullen didn't take on a fever, even if Addie only had this fever because she is probably teething. Corrie took Cullen outside where they played in the pool. We had gotten the noodles from Target last night that we bought and took them to the pool. Cullen loved playing pool Joust!

 

After that we had lunch and then it was time for Nap Time. I encouraged Corrie to take cullen after nap time to the movies to see Monsters University. Corrie decided that she would take Cullen to Star Cinema Grill where you could order a meal and then watch a movie. I had them leave a little earlier then they needed to get there so that they could go get candy. When they left a little before 5:00PM I had Addie and evening to myself.

 I tried to clean, but everytime I left poor little girl she cried. At one point you could tell the playing and fever had just worn her out because she pooped out in my arms.

Oh, and Super Moon

Day 14: Resting and Loving

June 21, 2013

Spent the better part of the day in bed. Corrie and I didn't feel like doing too much today but we did get up after nap time and go have dinner at Fuzzys. It wasn't a particular interesting day, but we had a great evening. 

After Fuzzy's We went to HEB. It's funny to see our kids grow up. I remember when we only had cullen and he could barely fit in these.

After HEB, we decided that we needed some noodles and went to Target. Noodles turned into Buying a Memory Card which turned into buying Iron Man 2.

Day 13: Picking up the kiddos

June 20, 2013

This morning I woke up around noon because Corrie had a professional development and I did not. I woke up and started cleaning the bedroom because it had come to the point where you couldn't tell if we had carpet anymore. I took the hour or so it took to clean up the room and put the clothes in the laundry basket and then I got ready to go to Cherita's. I had to pay her for keeping Cullen and Addie last week. I left and went to Fairmont Parkway where I met my mom and grandma who had our babies. We had dinner at Panera Bread. Cullen enjoyed getting to eat his apple and barely touched his macaroni and cheese (although he cryed out for it).

When we got home, I put in Iron Man for him to watch while we vegg'd out. He was hilarious as the scary scenes came, he would run and hide behind the couch.
