IMG_20150206_193414308-2Hello blue eyes! We’ve had a pretty calm week around here this week until the weekend. Friday night excitement was for the boys to get hair cuts side-by-side at Sport Clips. Finn’s hair was cut a bit shorter than we intended, but it looks great and you can definitely see his eyes better. He sat in the chair like a perfect big boy. His stylist said she was the best little boy she had all day.  IMG_20150206_192207571_HDR-2Saturday was full of fun domestic chores like cleaning the house and doing some laundry. But the night turned ever more fun when Jaime and Aaron came over for dinner and fun with their kids Lexi and Chase. Once Finn woke up from his nap (at 5:15 pm) the kiddos enjoyed lots of play time together before we sat down for a yummy steak dinner. It was so cute to watch the kids play, I think they had a pretty good time working at the tool bench, jumping on the coach, and playing with all of the toys downstairs. DSC_0306-2 DSC_0309-2 DSC_0310-2 DSC_0312-2 DSC_0314-2 DSC_0317-2 DSC_0321-2Sunday afternoon we headed to Enon to visit with Kevin’s family and check out a potential house for Jim and Pat. Kevin, Brett, and Jim spent most of their time walking around inside and checking out potential renovation ideas and since it was so nice and “warm” out, Finn and I spent most of the time outside walking up and down the long driveway. And, of course, throwing rocks and playing with the sword (a nice long blade of pampas grass from the yard). DSC_0325-2 DSC_0329-2 DSC_0331-2 DSC_0348-2 DSC_0341-2 DSC_0342-2Griffin has been doing really well on the potty, usually going 2 or 3 times a day. Sometimes he’s interested, other times he’s not. We just kind of roll with his mood and don’t push it. His vocabulary continues to grow each day too, as do his opinions (“no Mama, no” and “self” have been common ones lately!). Here are a few others from the week.  Donuts – always a favorite, reading with daddy in one of the many pairs of new jammies from cousins Graham and Roro (among other things, thanks Bethune’s!), and Friday night basketball practice with Lily and Cameron (this was before the hair cut!).  Kevin snapped the last photo on our drive back from Enon, Finn and I were a bit sleepy!IMG_20150206_082859201-2 IMG_20150206_082930343-2 IMG_20150202_205116-2 IMG_20150206_175924134_HDR-220150208_171606-2Have a great week!
