Whirlwind Weekend

I don't know about anyone else, but so far, summer is kicking my ass. This weekend was our third whirlwind weekend in a row. But, it's summertime and I suppose that is to be expected. The thrill of having Monday and Tuesday to myself was short lived. Wednesday, Quinn and I met mom and the girls at The Forum off 141 to bring the girls home. I wasn't sure how long it would take to get there, so Q and I were a little early and mom was running a little late. It's an outdoor shopping area and by 11am it was already "so sweat" out. We ate lunch at a very cute little Italian place, but my luck in restaurants has hit an all time low. While eating the bread, I chomped right into a grimy piece of metal. It was in ring shape and looked like it came off of a piece of kitchen equipment. Seriously. Thank God it was in my piece and not Quinn's!

Thursday we had Q's pics taken by the wonderful Frankie. (Those pics will be in the next post.) And then we went swimming at the wonderful Miss Rebecca's house. Friday I had my presentation (DONE with grad school!) and then we went back to Frankie/Rebecca's to celebrate Ella's half-birthday. Poor girl was born right after Christmas, so in order to get the full effect of a birthday we also celebrate in June. Friday was also Q's first birthday. It is still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that he is already a year old.

Saturday we went to Jonah's b-day party and today we went to church and over to Chris's parents house for a little b-day lunch for Quinn. AND we had 3 of the Wylie children spend the night last night. It was amazing that we managed to get 6 kids (ages 10, 7, 7, 6, 4 and 1) and 2 adults, fed, ready and out of the house by 9am this morning for Sunday school.

Quinn, shirtless.

All of the kids scrounging for candy from the pinata.

It's a party!

Chandler and Casey - sweet sisters!
