Life lately/Oceanside

This summer has gone by so fast! Jack starts school a week from tomorrow (we are doing modified year round so it starts early - whaaaaah!!!) so we only have one more week of summer left. We've been playing hard this last week!

On Friday, we drove to Phoenix to visit the science center because we can get in free with our museum pass from Iowa. I don't know what it is but I really don't enjoy museums, but it is Jack's FAVORITE thing. Jack and David loved it. A friend of mine from high school does live science experiments there (I was surprised to see her!) and Jack and David LOVED it! David said, "Mom! Your friend is magical!" and Jack kept saying to me throughout the day, "I can't believe that you have a friend who is a scientist!"
The guy in front of us was clearly enjoying himself ;)

Afterwards, we stopped by Spencer's hospital to see his new office.

I jumped in the shower the other day while Kate was awake and later found documentation of what Jack and David did to entertain her while I was showering. haha Poor girl!

Jack and David often beat me to her crib when she wakes up from a nap and fight over her and/or love on her. I walked into her getting a nice head massage with her pajamas sliding off of her the other day!

She loves her daddy!

Speaking of loving their daddy... David still comes into our bed every single night and shares Spencer's pillow with him. David prefers to be the big spoon ;) We have failed with him in the sleep training department for his entire life. (Also, looking for tips on how to get three-year-old boys to stop peeing in everything BUT the toilet?!!!! Bushes, buckets, plastic tubs, trash cans, you name it. And how to get bathrooms to stop smelling like urine? Asking for a friend... ;)

We love the kids club at the mall. Free ticket to the carousel, free sample at See's candy, indoor play place, and pretzels :)

My dressing like a cow game was not strong this year, but we still got free food! #oppositeofpinterestmom

Sadly, I was reading up on this last week. I've been fighting it for so long but I surrendered and embraced the fact that I'm now a #pokemonmom.

When it's 110 degrees outside, we play with fake snow ;) This stuff entertains them for hours!

Last weekend, we drove to Oceanside for the weekend (since Spencer hasn't accrued any time off yet) and met my mom and Isaac, and James, Maddie and Calvin there. We drove 12 hours round trip for less than 48 hours on the beach and it was totally worth it :) We had a blast!
