ole schnikees: 2016

Trevor: cut the first corner of his 1st 2 year molar (I knew they were coming), said "Amy" "puppy" "me" or "no me" lots this week, and again always asks for "ella" and "e-a" (elouise and eva),

the weather was pretty good this week! Monday after nap we played outside for a bit before heading up to mom's (mom was in mexico for a long weekend). Tuesday morning we went to manda's as usual and it was beautiful out so once Eva got picked up for school, T, Elouise and I took the wagon to the park at 930 am in just vests! I had planned to stay there for a while, but once we did snack at 10 am they wanted to head back. so they had their snack in the wagon on the ride home. we played in manda's backyard until lunchtime. we also played outside after nap once Eva was home, but it was about 20 degrees lower and windy.

Wednesday we didn't have to be to manda's til 830. Once Eva went to school, we loaded up and headed to my friend megan's house to see her and her 2 little guys Collin (almost 3) and Evan (2 weeks). the kids had lots of fun there, they have an area with tons of toys, and I got to hold little Evan lots! it was kinda rainy all day so we didn't get outside to play. during the day Al called to tell me he was getting called into the sheriff's office and then again later called to say he got promoted to sergeant!!! after just 4 years with the department! it's a pretty big pay increase, although the hours will be worse than his 3-11's that we were getting used to.

Thursday morning we went down to apple valley for one of my favorite consignment sales. Amy and her twins and megan and Evan joined us. I didn't find great deals for Trevor, but did get him a pair of shoes, a pair of sandals, some pjs, and 4 great books! he loves his new books; 2 of them are the kind that have buttons to push that make noise/sing and he doesn't have any like that. we stood in a long line to checkout at the sale, but T did great (especially since he could look at his new books). we then headed back to eau Claire about 1230. Trevor fell asleep halfway home but I did not have a successful car to crib transfer so he only slept a total of half an hour for nap. we went over to the neighb's for a little bit, had dinner, then played outside til it got dark. he was in bed at 730 and was out somewhat quickly.

Friday was gorgeous outside, so we got our grocery shopping done in the morning (we're on week 2 of 3 of not eating out!) and then came back home and played outside with the neighb's. we also played outside after nap until dinner! I got Trevor his first pail and shovel and he had fun playing with that. Al made delicious ruebens for supper!

Saturday was gorgeous too! we had our last swimming lessons and Trevor did great! he did everything we had been working on, even the airplane arms on tummy and back which he hadn't done prior, except blowing bubbles. it was a shorter class, he got a congratulations card and we said goodbye to our swimming lessons friends. came home for a bath for T, a shower for me and then the 3 of us walked over to the school/park near our house (about a mile there), Trevor played for a while, and then we walked back!

sunday was overcast and a little mist here and there, but was still in the 50s. after dada left for work at 1015, Trevor and I ran some errands. we came home, had a quick lunch (nothing about eating is quick with T and he didn't eat much all day, thinking those molars are bugging him) and he was out quickly for nap which I expected after a short nap Saturday and waking an hour earlier due to daylight savings time. after nap we went outside for a while; I raked a bunch then we went in the small wooded area behind our house and picked up trash. Trevor stayed with me the whole way, did great and held his rock he found the whole time.

Monday Al had to work at 7am. after breakfast, I took Trevor over to Jodi's (the neighb's) house while I showered and ran to the t shirt place to get our nesset week t shirts order started. it was rainy out so we didn't get to play outside.
