Since I'm such a great mom (there's sarcasm in my writing, but you can't hear it!) I decided we'd have the best week ever before school started. There's really 2 reasons why I did it: first, because I've been lame all summer and we haven't really done anything, and secondly, I wanted to make sure Eli had something to write about when he went back to school. If we did it too early in the summer, they'd forget. So, why not do it the week before school and they totally remember? I made them take pictures as proof of our fun!
Monday: we went to Olypmic Hills Gymnastics where they have open gym for toddlers! Ethan and Livi love it (Eli is a super big helper!)
Tuesday: we went to the mall and ate lunch (I did a bunch of errands) and the kids got a cookie!
Wednesday: we went to Goin' Bananas (our neighbor, Katie, came with us!)
Thursday: we went to Gattitown. Kids even got to play some games (I didn't just pretend they were playing!)
Friday: we went swimming and had a lunch at the pool!
On top of the fun things we did all week, I reminded the kids frequently we were having "The best week, ever!" I sang the song to them (changed the words from 'best day ever' to 'best week ever.' It's from Spongebob--any of you who have watched this with their kids know what I'm talking about!)

You're a brilliant mom! I love the idea of a 'best week ever' right before school starts -- and I know you kids did. And on a side note: how cute are they?! They are growing up.
That is hilarious! I love that you guys pretend play the video games too...It's perfect that they have those previews going constantly on the game because Isaac thinks he's really playing. I'm still laughing at the money nickles thing you posted about Livi on my blog!
Wow, you're awesome. Don't tell my kiddos or they'll want to live at your house. By the way, I like your blog look. It's very pretty.
That sounds like a pretty darn good week to me! Enjoy that free time with the kids in school. Loved the pictures from your high school reunion. I missed mine and regret not going.
