2016 :: 38/52



Monday night once Al was getting ready for work, Trevor and I ran to the bank and the grocery store then came home, unloaded and took the wagon up to the park. there was some little kids flag football and soccer practice going on, so there were families playing at the park (we're used to having the park to ourselves). but Trevor found a little blonde friend :) he had to have been about 2 but quite a bit shorter than trevor. they loved playing with each other and following each other around.

Tuesday morning after breakfast we went on a long walk with Jodi + Chloe, Easton, and baby Evrett. at the end of our walk we went to a small church play ground. then when we got back, we did a bunch of crafting and coloring and magazine page ripping. after nap we ran some errands.

Wednesday morning we went for a walk, stopped at Jodi's house to play and when I got there I had a message from the gutter guys saying they were coming that morning to put our gutters on. when we got home from our walk, they were here already started. they got it done before trevor went down for nap! and just in time for a huge rain storm; we got 5 inches and there were places in Al's county that got 8.5 inches! so much water! perfect time to get our gutters!

Thursday we went for a walk and ran errands then after nap and supper we walked to the park. Trevor peed on the potty once and got an m&m for it!

Friday morning we went for another walk then came home and played out front, riding bikes and such for a while. then chloe and kade came over, we had lunch, then naps. chloe and kade were awake from nap before trevor fell asleep so I took them out back to play until their dad's got here. when the kids went in to go potty before nap Trevor went with them and peed on the potty!! we went to supper at a pizza buffet place with matt, cam and chloe. when we got back Al went downstairs to go potty so Trevor wanted to, too, and he peed in the potty again! Al left for work, T and I played a bunch, then we went in for bath. he sat on the potty before bath and went again!!! 3 times in one day!

Saturday morning grandpa peter came so he and trevor played while I got some things done. then once Al was awake, he and g'pa peter worked on taking the old back door out and putting in the new one. Trevor and I played outside the whole time until lunch, we went and grabbed lunch, then after lunch while Trevor napped, G'pa peter and Al ran to menards and the auto parts store. they finished putting the door & handle in, and putting new front brakes in the Volkswagen. we grilled burgers for supper and had early bed times since we were exhausted.

on Saturday, Trevor peed in the potty 6 times and pooped once for the first time!!! sunday and Monday, we got none...

sunday morning after breakfast, g'pa peter left and all 3 of us headed up to the cities. we played outside at mom's for a little bit, then lunch, and nap for Trevor, and the Vikings game on tv for me and al. then I had softball at 4 & 5 which it rained on us the first game even though it wasn't supposed to rain. T and mom came to the games, Al stayed at mom's to watch football. we played the same team twice; tied them the first game then 15 runned them... after softball Al came with some of the team and I to eat at d spot. we made it back to mom's just before T went to bed.

Monday morning after breakfast, the 3 of us went to the Minnesota zoo. it was a beautiful day, a little chilly/windy, but gorgeous! we did all the outside stuff then met mom for lunch and headed home to ec.

2016 :: 37/52

Monday at 10, just after we got back from mom's, Al's mom Diane and step-dad Rick came to our house (they're from Alaska). we showed them around the house and played outside until lunch and nap time. then after nap, auntie althea came up from Wausau. we had a grill out and a bonfire.

Tuesday we went to Irvine park with everyone until lunch time, then T and I went home for lunch and nap, while the other 4 ran some errands and got ice cream. we went to cancun for supper and auntie althea had to head back to Wausau after supper. matt, Jodi and the kids walked over so we got to see them for a bit.

Wednesday morning after breakfast we went to the farmer's market and the apple orchard. it was beautiful out with a chill in the air but still sunny! we were home for lunch then while T napped we did some projects around the house after a trip to menards.

Thursday Diane and I went garage saling, and while we didn't find any great sales, I did find some things for Trevor and the house. we did more house projects, had spaghetti dinner and played outside until it rained.

Friday morning grama and grandpa left and I went to my favorite consignment sale in eau Claire. I found some good deals including rain boots for T which I've been looking for all summer long. no clothes, but a dress up costume, books, a puzzle, cars, bath toys. then it was laundry time until Chloe came just before noon. lunch, nap, packing and then Trevor and I drove up to mom's house.

Saturday morning we had our annual ALS walk in honor of auntie Diane. we went early this year, parked and rode the bus. when we got there we found auntie Judie, Angi, and Ruby and did the fun stuff before it got busy. we had a small group walking this year so once it started we quickly lined up and walked at the beginning of the large group (usually we're at the end). it was a great cloudy day for a walk around the lake and we were able to get on the bus right away without waiting! we then went to woodbury for lunch with uncle jimmy, will, uncle waynie, auntie judie, angi and ruby. after lunch, mom, T and I drove back to eau Claire to get projects done. T didn't sleep in the car of course so he napped once we got home and I started painting the kitchen (which we finished that night!)

sunday morning I went back to the consignment sale for 1/2 off day and got some 4T clothes for T. then mom, Al, T and I drove back up to mom's because mom was going to the Vikings packer game and I had softball so Al stayed with Trevor. We lost both our softball games but the Vikings beat the packers for our first game in the new stadium!!!!!

Monday morning after mom left for work, Trevor and I played outside for a while until Al woke up. then we drove back to ec as Al had to work that night.
