Music Monday will be going on hiatus for the summer so I can bring you our weekly recaps.  I will be highlighting all the fun pictures and activities we have planned for this summer.  Eight weeks of fun! Overall this week was pretty quiet in terms of big excursions.  This was a lull before the rush to get ready to go back to school and return in Indiana.  My photo uploader is being very wonky today, so no photos...

Monday

Today was all about catching up on house chores and resting.  The twins played a fair amount of video games.

Tuesday

We finally made it to the Mountain View library's summer song series.  Arthur loved every minute of it.  The twins chose not to sit on the grass and listen to the music.  Instead, they ventured into the library, found some books and a nice quiet spot, and read for awhile.  We got a MV library card to check out some of their selections.  Arthur and I will definitely have to go back.  From there we spent part of the afternoon Back-to-School shopping.  The boys grabbed almost all of their school supplies including new backpacks (a must!).  That night we had dinner at Panera as I had my card swap.  The twins were excited to get their mac and cheese.  I was excited to get my swap cards back.

Wednesday

We finished our school shopping by getting some new shoes at Kohl's.  Without prompting, the twins each picked a pair of classic Vans slip-on skater shoes.  I couldn't be more prouder!  I even found a pair of amazingly comfortable black wedges.  These are definitely going to be the wedding shoes.  Now I just need to find a dress to wear to both of them.

Thursday

J stayed home to work, so the twins got the morning in at home.  Arthur and I ventured out to Shoreline for our usual ~4 mile walk with the mom's group.  It felt nice to get out and exercise.  A very enjoyable morning.  In the afternoon, the boys hit the pool and generally chilled out.

Friday

This was our last Great America day of the season.  We finally made it to the waterpark section.  The twins splashed in the wave pool and the giant play structure filled with cascading water.  Arthur even sat and splashed at the edge of the wading pool.  He wasn't too sure about the waterfall...  After the waterpark, the twins hit their favorite rides for one last time.  Good day!

Saturday

J and I split duties today.  Arthur and I went to another little baby's first birthday party while J and the twins went go-karting.  Yep, they finally made it out to one.  Nick had a blast.  Alex was not as excited, but I figured that would happen.  They had an enjoyable time while I hung out with some other mom's and babies.  J and the twins arrived to pick us up just in time to partake in cupcakes and candy.  Perfect timing!

Sunday

Sunday was another home day: video games and pool time.  We ended the day with our last pizza night.
