We celebrated Father's day with Jason's parents on Saturday. Joe and Polly don't have any deli's in Midland, so they always make a trip to the deli for corned beef when they are here...and we gladly helped them eat it up! Lizzy was so cute, she kept saying, "hi, Joe" (instead of Grandpa). Sydney hadn't seen Grandma Polly in a while and she had really been missing her, so she was happy to spend time with her! We spent the day outside enjoying the awesome weather while the kids showed off the new swingset and played in the kiddie pool. Lizzy had been begging to put on her "waters" (bathing suit). She gets extremely jealous when Sydney goes to swim class and just sulks around with her bathing suit (on her head), so she finally got the opportunity to put hers on for once! It was a great family day!
On Father's Day, the kids and I made breakfast in bed for Jason. We made French toast, eggs, and fruit. I had already given him his gift the other day (a barbeque), and I wanted the kids to be able to give him a little something, so we bought him a new casual shirt. After he ate, we let him sleep in until 11, but after that, the kids couldn't take it anymore. All they wanted to do was go swimming at Grandpa's! And oh my goodness, they had such a blast! I was so proud of Sydney. I think the swim lessons are paying off. She has come a long way since December in Disney World where she wouldn't let go of me for fear of her life and would only go in the baby pool. She was jumping and going under the water and "kicking and scooping", as she says. After two hours, I was getting cold and was ready to get out, but not Sydney! Jason took Lizzy back to Grammie and Grandpa's for a litle nap and Sydney continued to swim. I think this was the first time since Sydney was born, that I was able to relax by the pool and watch her swim. Usually I have a kid clinging on to me the whole time. So, it felt extremely good to just relax for a while! That night we all went out for dinner at Modern, my new favorite restaurant ( I know, every restaurant is my favorite). But it was really good. The chef came out to take our order. They didn't have a kid's menu, they just ask the kids what they want, and try their best to accomodate and boy did they do a great job...it was amazing...we will be going back for sure! I had stopped at the bakery earlier, so we went back to their house for dessert! It was an awesome day! Sydney slept over at their house, which was nice for me because Jason has to be away for work until Wednesday! So, it's just me and cute little Lizzy until Sydney decides to come home. I have a feeling that she won't want to leave the swimming pool life!
