Haircut

Turns out that Avery got home around 12:30 on Saturday, so we were able to spend the day together. We went shopping for Mikai's birthday present for his party on the 11th and she asked if it was nice enough out to go in her pool almost every hour without fail. Its been pretty windy and rather cool (75ish) so I don't think we'll be doing that until we get another really hot day like in the 90s. We do have swimming lessons tomorrow though, so at least she'll get some kind of pool time!

Today was a little bit slow to start, as she got up at about 9:45 and then was on the couch half asleep till around 10:30. After getting ready she went over to dads until 12:45 when we went to Kids Hair in Woodbury (Tamarack Village) where she got her first hair trim, with me and Tim anyway. It was a cute place, nice people, and they were playing the Bee Movie on all the tvs which there was one at each station. Pretty cool. We also picked up some swimmers shampoo for after the pool on Mondays. Then we went to Noodles & Co for a yummy lunch.

After I dropped them off I went to Kmart in search of the 50% off all clothing sale they had going on where I found Tinkerbell summer pajamas for Avery and a Tinkerbell nightgown. Then a 2 pack of Betty Spaghetty's which I think are pretty fun, and we'll be playing with them more tomorrow! Too bad I have to go to work. *sigh*

Wisconsin trip

So in my last post I mentioned that it was a good thing it was only for a week. Well make that two, because on Tuesday my mom and Avery went to Wisconsin for the week. They left Tuesday around 6, and my dad was out of town until last night, so it was pretty empty in the house. Good thing I have the dogs or I don't know what I'd do!

Work has been really slow, which doesn't help matters any. I went shopping on Weds and ended up with new shoes and rat supplies. Thursday I bought after a big pool for the deck and spent a frustrating hour or so blowing it up and getting it ready. Today I filled it up and bought a tarp to cover it. Riley and I have been taking walks each day, and he enjoys that a lot and it poops him out. It's good for both of us.

Anyway Avery will be home Saturday night, so I've got one more quiet day. At this point I'm ready to have her home for awhile!!

Camp week

This week is Avery's Gale Farm camp. She started Monday and went in the morning to Grandma Robin's and came home after to go to her first swimming lesson. She said she rode on a tractor in the back with seats but that was about all I could get out of her. Oh and she had a snack of broccoli and carrots in dip.

Swimming was interesting, as she flat out refused to do some of the things the teacher instructed us to do, such as touch our ear, then nose and other ear to the water, and blow bubbles etc. She didn't want to get her face near the water. But she LOVED jumping into my arms from the edge. It's more of a water acclimation class than actual swim lessons, but I'm glad I went with this one because with Avery and her separation anxiety lately would not have permitted me to leave her on her own for the class as required for the next level. We have until the end of July to get her ready for that, thankfully.

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday so she'll be home after camp again. I got him REO Speedwagon tickets to put in Avery's card to him, so that should be a fun surprise. Then Sunday is father's day and I couldn't afford anything exciting for that. That's how it goes having your birthday so close to another holiday though I suppose! Good thing mines in the middle of a whole lotta nothing!

The main point of this post is I'm without Avery for most of a week and its just weird! The house is too quiet. Good thing its only for this week. =)
