Our very first friends here in Albuquerque are moving and all of us are sad, especially Ava since it means she looses 2 best buddies. The Cluff family has been really good to us and I hope they love their new home and town. To help Jill pack I had the girls over for a play date, and treats....slurpees are a must since it's so stinking hot here in Albuquerque.
This was the last day we got to play and hang out so we decided to have a celebration tea party lunch.
Our back yard was a maze of different colored rocks and tiny gravel....perfect for a 1 year old to mess up on a daily basis. We bought a few square feet of sod and now we are playing happily on soft green grass. I never knew I could be so happy about such a tiny piece of nature.
and now that we have grass we have to water it right?
Sprinkler time!
Sprinkler time!
Ava started swimming lessons. She has never taken them before because frankly she is a little bit of a scaredy cat but at only $25 who could resist. After watching her preschool class for few weeks, Im glad I only paid $25, it was ridiculously easy and Ava was the best in her class. She is more confident now so I guess it was worth it. Why do kids listen to teachers more then their own parents? I could have taught that class to her for FREE.
We took the kids to the Zoo one morning and by noon it was so hot we had to come home. Our family is not used to being in 100+ weather, especially not after living in cold, grey, rainy Europe for 7 years!
BBQ's are a favorite treat in summer; although being from Canada, I can BBQ in the rain or snow but summer is defiantly a time to turn on the grill. Thanks Grandma Robison for sending us these adorable corn cob holders!
