The end of Week 58 & Week 59. We finished up the week of the 4th in Birmingham. We took a much needed trip to the mall! Mary Virginia picked out her own accessories at Children's Place, and she really worked the hat! (You should see it with the sunglasses!)
As soon as she was done posing, she pulled out her tooth, so it was a HUGE day at the mall and a big night for the tooth fairy!
After primping and lunch, we went to Build-A-Bear to create some special friends! John Bay had never been there, so this was exciting for him! Once he picked out his bear, it was time to give him a heart and stuff him!
And give them a bath.
After much debate, we decided on outfits for everyone and then it was time to head to the carousel and to get cookies! It was a fun day at the mall and a great way to beat the heat!
We had a low key weekend. We tried to help Gigi and Jaja get ready for their trip and spent time with the horses! The kids always love visiting them even if it was a quick visit to feed them treats!
On Monday, Mary Virginia started camp at Arts on the Mountain. She was so excited that she was going to see lots of friends that she has missed so much! While MV was at camp, John Bay and I had lots of time to play! JB wasn't his usual self and he didn't want to eat, so we took a much needed break at Yogurt Lab (before we met friends for lunch at Moe's) and that seemed to do the trick!
Now that he was feeling 100%, we hit the playground while we waited for Mary Virginia!
We log rolled down the hill (it was sad that I had to teach him how to do the log roll) and then we climbed the rocks!
After a lunch at Moe's with friends, MV headed over to their house to play while John Bay took a nap. When I went back to pick up Mary Virginia, they were having a popsicle stand. They sold all of their treats and then showed me the money!
The rest of the week was spent trying to get John Bay over his sinus infection...but on Thursday, he was feeling better so we did a little yard work. We stopped by our old house and tried to clean up some of the flower beds so that the yard guys can get in and do their magic! (This was after about 30 minutes of work - we worked for almost 3 hours!)
When we picked MV up, these were a few of the beautiful projects that MV made during her week at camp. This was from her Flower Arranging class at camp - she was so lucky to have such wonderful instructors all week! I can't wait to see the pottery that she made - it wasn't ready, so mom is going to pick it up!
Friday we kind of took the day to rest and play with some of our favorite friends! (MV got a haircut and the stylist straightened her hair...we will NOT straighten her hair again - she looks like she is 16!)
Friday night we had a good friend come into town. We just wish his wife and kids could have come too! On Saturday, the boys took his Father's Day gift out for a spin! They stopped by and saw some friends on their outing!
It was a crazy week, but we had so much fun! We miss Birmingham and all of our friends already!
