Friday morning I took the boys to an event at our local library to do sidewalk chalk. Brennan overhead the librarian talking about it the day before and was super excited to go. Unfortunately, once we arrived the excitement ended. He wrote his name on the sidewalk and then wanted to go inside. We made it back out once more before we left, but he just wasn't into it. Oh well. I still love that our library is offering so many fun activities this summer.
The library is doing the Fizz, Boom, Read summer reading program and I've been logging my reading time with Brennan. So far this summer we've read 270 minutes!
Since the sidewalk chalk didn't last long, we came home and shot some rockets and then set up a "car wash" in the driveway. It turned into more of a Brennan and Bryce wash of course!
Friday night we had a sitter, so Kyle and I could attend a Hail and Farewell at his new CO's house.
On Saturday morning we got up and decided we would go feed the ducks at Mystic Village. We knew Mystic Village doesn't offer duck food there anymore, so Kyle thought we'd head to Pet Smart to buy some. Thankfully he looked online first and found that only the Warwick, RI store had some. We decided we head up there anyways! Before we left, Kyle was sweet enough to vacuum out my car. We had removed both car seats the night before so friends could ride with us.
Kyle got the car all clean and the car seats reinstalled and we set off for RI. We hadn't been on the highway long when Brennan started screaming about ants in the backseat. Sure enough there were tons of them. We assume they had gotten onto the car seats while they were sitting in the driveway waiting to be put back into the car. They were crawling all over the place and even though they are just ants, to a four-year-old it's a big deal. I was trying to smash as many as I could from the front seat, but we ended up exiting the highway and stopping at a CVS so we could pull both car seats out again and try to fix the ant problem. I sat in the back in between the two car seats the rest of the ride to keep Brennan calm and kill the remainder of the ants.
After all that fun, we did get the duck food and then came straight back to CT to go feed the ducks. And boy were those ducks excited. It was too much for Brennan and me. But Kyle and Bryce loved it. I cannot believe Kyle was letting them jump right into his lap. So gross!
We couldn't stay at Mystic Village too long because we needed to get the boys home and fed and down for naps before we went to Southington for Madeleine's 2nd birthday party. I didn't get any great pictures on my phone, but it was a lot of fun.
The only picture I got of the birthday girl!
Sunday, Kyle had duty so the boys and I went to church alone. I was feeling a little icky all morning, but made it through church and lunch fine. I got both boys put down for a nap and tried to sleep some, but could not get comfortable. Brennan woke up and I let him play the iPad while I just laid on the couch and then the stomach bug officially hit. Thankfully it was a one and done thing. I just felt weak and achy for the rest of the afternoon and night. Kyle was able to come home from work late that night, so that was a huge blessing. Not the greatest end to the weekend, but overall it was lots of fun!
