Sisters United

Henry grows too fast and the summer season arrived rather quickly so I needed to go through the clothes again and make sure all the new sizes are ready to go and old clothes that are sitting too tight have to go. I barely have summer clothes for Zoe but there is a Mom2Mom Sale tomorrow in one of the churches where I'll be first thing in the morning ;). Henry has plenty of stuff... I already bought in advance for him when I had the chance and also got some things from Janos' old days.

Henry taking his nap

Today Dana flew through DTW and had a little bit of time so we could hang out at the airport and chat a little :). It was so cool seeing her and hugging her! We had a 'picnic' at the airport *lol*... I even brought my picnic blanket... fun

Sun Sun Sun

Henry during 'nap time'!!! Yes, I asked myself the same, why isn't he sleeping? He's in a 'screaming' phase, he's quieking around like crazy / happy quiecky of course but not very cool when you're having your 2 hrs break of kids during nap time *lol*... but he was quiet in the jumperoo... 

In the morning the kids and I took a little walk and went to the park so Zoe can burn off some energy at the play ground while Jen walked over and we talked a little :)... AWESOME morning... after nap time we had a play date in our yard... full blast fun in the sun. Our three girls: Maddie, Emma and Zoe

Relaxing Mom's: Stephanie, Sarah, Jen and Katja  (Katja is a German visitor / potential sister in law from Sarah, who has to go back on Saturday)

Tobe and Crystal

We were 10 moms and lots of kids ;)... everybody had at least one child and probably half of them already two :). The weather was perfect

Preparation Summer

Jup... again another lovely day. We had 30Degrees C here today and I thought it was time to get the baby pool out and since I wanted to have a water table so badly already last year for Zoe I got it today at Walmart :)... and Zoe got a new ball for her collection as well!!!!

I didn't even arrive home and had to put it together *lol*

Mission complete... let the summer begin

I put it all up outside when the kids went down for their nap and filled up the water so it can warm up a little

Chillen in the sun/ shade... so funny... normally we have such a great shady garden but unfortunately since the leaves are not yet there, there was barely shade so I was trying to put up a blanket with the latter *lol*... yeah... whatever... wasn't all not really working out. But it was great... the water table we put in the shade and no kid had a sunburn afterwards. I guess all of us also had our kids sun creamed down real good.

Kaitlyn, Zoe and Jonos enjoying the water to the fullest

TUE afternoon - park

... and in the afternoon we quickly picked up my new glasses, got my oil changed and went to the park before we met with friends for dinner. The kids had and blast and I enjoyed this awesome day as well.

And as soon as we're home... Zoe wants to go out AGAIN... won't take her shoes off but gets her daddy's shoes and then Daddy has to go outside with her ;)... every night the same *lol*... this girl is crazy. Today we're going to get our pool out... it's going to be 31Degrees C :) :) :)... time to splash in the water. I'm also gonna get chalk (Kreide) so the kids can color the driveway... plenty of things to do they'll have a great time at our play date.

TUE morning play date with friends

Monday Afternoon at My Urban Toddler

Baby Sitter

Here some pics of our precious two buddies Janos and Zoe:

Today Frank and I had our first 'paid' Date Night! We finally hired a baby sitter after 2 yrs of having kids and enjoyed a wonderful Harley ride and stop by at our city party, meeting some neighbors and then we wanted to go and have a little pre-dinner but Henry didn't think so *lol*... the little stinker REFUSED to drink out of a bottle and since I fed him last before his nap and we left before he woke up... he wanted mommy's boobies ONLY!!! He was pretty good though for Alissa, probably decided he's not hungry! 

It was great and Zoe enjoyed Alissa a lot and even gave her a hug goodbye. Frank and I really enjoyed the time together and I can't wait for future dates :)... we gonna do this now regularly. Since I'm with the kids all the time I don't feel bad to have a sitter every now and then so Frank and I can enjoy ourselves again... and anyways: Happy Parents, Happy Kids, right? ;)

Since we had to go home before we even could order dinner, I only fed Henry at home and we parked the Harley in the garage and packed the whole family into the minivan *LOL* and went to have our dinner with kids... everybody was HAPPY :).
