Wow what a crazy week it's been! I feel like I say that all the time, but this week was very true. On Sunday I went with Katie and Jenna to Ikea. We went to buy a houseful of furniture (mainly for Katie, but some for me) and we definitely succeeded. It was quite an adventure. It was my first time going to Ikea and we bought so much stuff! It really surprised me that after shopping for 6hrs, we were still able to load everything into the trailer and drive home (and I wasn't too sure everything was going to fit in the trailer either). It was so much fun to talk, shop and enjoy time together. But it was exhausting.

The rest of the week has been filled with either moving furniture to and from houses, helping Katie paint, putting together furniture that I bought, cleaning, laundry and getting ready for our vacation. Which I am SO excited for our vacation! The girls and I are going to Ohio for my friend's wedding. I get to take the pictures (yeah!) and we will stay a few days and do some fun stuff. Then we are off to Florida for some much needed family time with our extended families. The girls are looking forward to fishing, crabbing, Lego Land, and basically getting spoiled rotten by their grandparents. There is still so much to do before I leave though. I have to pack, finish cleaning and doing laundry, mow the lawn, clean out the pool, and I still have a few pieces of furniture to put together. Phew!
The girls have finished up with their soccer and loved every minute of it. We will definitely be playing soccer again in the fall. Until then, I think we may do gymnastics this summer. Last weekend we went to Busch Gardens with some friends and it was so much fun to relax and just enjoy ourselves. Tay was SUPER excited because this year she is FINALLY tall enough to ride the "baby rides" by herself! Yep, at almost 6yrs old, she is finally tall enough to ride things like the water dragon ride, the flying dragons, Elmo's Spire, Grover's roller coaster and the like by herself. She has waited YEARS to be able to do that and was absolutely ecstatic. She didn't stop smiling the entire time we were there. (you have to be 41"-42" to ride most of the kiddie rides without an adult, she is just now 41" and with shoes she is right at 42". There are 2 yr olds that are taller than she is!)
Well, off I go to finish up things around the house before our vacation! I hope everyone's summer is turning out to be as fantastic as ours. Pictures and updates from our vacation will be up soon, stay tuned.
