more summer fun

we had such a fun night last weekend with the stewarts, a pizza/pool party. jenna surprised us with delicious banana pudding for dessert, you know the retro kind with nilla wafers? all served in individual glass trifle cups, too cute! the little boys devoured theirs as well. those two are in the clean plate club!
we just realized how much easier/fun it is to eat outside now that the little guys can sit at a miniature table. it can just be hosed down after the meal reducing cleanup and not having to haul high chairs outside is nice too!



we are having lots of company over in upcoming weekends so i had to get on the kiddie picnic table thing. i fell in love with this one, it holds 6 toddlers and has the cutest umbrella (which is removable). we do have a very sunny backyard so i think this will be a feature we use!


THIS past weekend we saw billy joel and elton john at wrigley field with tim's parents. they took us as an anniversary gift, how lucky we are! we had a difficult time seeing the stage from our rooftop and the sound was sub-par (but it is a ballpark not a concert venue so i kind of knew that going in), however it was a beautiful night in the city. i enjoyed the people watching, wrigleyville was abuzz with activity. uptown girl was one of the encore songs and totally my fave!

saturday while the rest of the family was golfing in a charity tournament, i took declan to my old college roommate's house. she was having a bunch of families over for her son's 5th birthday party so we were happy to join in. here is seth, her youngest. he kept sneaking over to eat declan's lunch. d didn't care b/c he was very interested in the cheetos, his first...
a great time was had by all! lots of kiddies to play with, a huge playset, swimming pool, slide, his first trampoline, etc. and mama got to catch up with some girlfriends!


i love seth's expression in this one, looks like he hasn't seen food in days!
