Maggie's 1st Movie

We took Maggie to her first movie today, Cars 2. She did pretty good, but let's just say I am glad we were in a theatre that was full of other kids! :) Once the chair seat flipped up when she was sitting in it, she was pretty much done with the chair though! She then sat on Rob's lap, my lap, stood up, or sat in her booster seat on the floor (see photo below)! She took 2 bathroom breaks and was quiet throughout the movie for the most part. Luckily, we did Fork and Screen, so she had food to distract her. We also went at 11am, so the theatre wasn't too full and she was able to move around a little bit more!

She's so excited to go in!

She loved her vanilla milkshake!

Maggie's Swimming Lessons

New Bed

Maggie upgraded to a big bed today and is pretty excited about it! There just wasn't enough room in the daybed stage of her convertible crib for her and all of her stuffed animals!

First Sleepover

Maggie had her first sleepover at our house last night...not exactly the best night to do it with all the storms...but they had a great time. I'm sure all 3 girls will be taking a nap this afternoon since the excitement and storms kept them awake pretty late! It is so great having Maddi and Sam next door to us!!

Garage Sale Finds

Maggie and I went to a couple garage sales this morning, then went to the summer reading program at the library and did some grocery shopping, too. Of course it stopped raining, and the sun came out, once we got home today! You've got to love garage sales...I got all this stuff for Mag and only spent $17!!

Lake Miola Fun

Today, Rob, Maggie and I went to Lake Miola with my parents. She had a great day playing, swimming and fishing (although she only ended up fishing for about 15 minutes!). Our neighbors, Jesse, Brandon, Maddi, and Sam joined us up there for the afternoon, too. We even cooked out for lunch. It was a great day!!

Movie...check

Everything we needed to have a great family slumber party tonight! The best part is it's summer, and there's no school, so we can do this on any night we want!!

Mommy's Little Helper

Maggie wanted to help me clean, but also be ready at a moments notice if the neighbors invited her to swim in their pool!

Summer has Begun!

Maggie's first week of summer vacation has been pretty busy already!

We had a cookout and spent the day at Uncle Brett and Aunt Ana's for Memorial Day. She absolutely loved going for rides and driving "crazy" in the golf cart they have!! That night she even got to spend the night at Nana and Papa's house.

She's been helping me up at school in my room, too. I'm switching classrooms this year, so I had to move everything. Sometimes she's more of a distraction than a help though!! This year, however, I was actually able to give her some jobs to help me out.

We went to the city on Friday with a friend of mine. We got to go out to lunch and do some shopping.

Yesterday, Maddi and Sam, our neighbors, had their pool out and Maggie couldn't wait to join them! Rob and I had to explain that it's not polite to invite yourself over to someone's house, so she sat and watched them through the window. It was so pitiful looking! You can't imagine how excited she was when they came over to ask if she could come swim. I've never seen her strip off her clothes faster!!

If this week is a preview of what's to come, I'm sure we're in for a busy rest of the summer!
