Fun Filled day



We had so much fun today as a family.  Jim and I took the girls out a late breakfast to IHOP.  Eva calls IHOP, hoppity hop.  We had a great time eating out as a family and the girls were well behaved to.  Then we went and made a payment on the girls bunk beds.  When we got home the girls rested for a little bit then I tool them to a park called Abbeywood, which located right next to Benedicint University.  The girls had such a great time. 


There was a bunch of other kids there that were fishing in the pond that is next to the park, and they gave Eva a turn fishing.  She caught her very first fish on the her first time fishing.  I am upset with myself that I didn't get pictures.  I will be buying both the girls own fishing poles and we will have plenty more opportunities to go fishing.


Eva was also very determined to do the monkey bars at the park. She was able to get to the first and hang there buy herself. I was very impressed and proud of her that she was able to do that. With my help on holding her legs she was able to do all the monkey bars. I will not be surprised by the end of this summer or next year she will be doing it by herself.

Potty Training

Maggie is doing really well with potty training.  We started about 2 weeks ago with really pushing her to go on the potty and it helped too that she was showing more and interest with going.  She is wearing pull-ups and goes on the potty at least 2-3 times a day.  She has gone number #2 once on her potty but hasn't done it since.  She also has started telling me that she has to go potty, her pull-up is ususally dry and she does go.  Even when her pull-up is dirty, she sometimes will still on her potty and goes as well.  My goal is too get her in underwear and potty trainded by April when she turns 3 because next fall she will be in preschool.

 When Eva graduated from 8th grade all she wanted was a pair of old school Michael Jordan shoes that were black, white and blue.  So that is what we got her.  Now for Maggie we wanted to something to make her feel special since she had a difficult time with the whole COVID-19 pandemic.  She has always loved musicals, so we got her tickets for her and Jim to go see the musical WICKED.  They finally went tonight, and they loved it.  Jim said it was better than the first time he saw it with me.  They enjoyed a nice dinner on the 21st floor of a hotel and had 4 row tickets in orchestra section.  So glad that she felt like a princess.

Catch a Reading Wave.......Make a Splash

So today I signed up both girls for the Summer Reading Program through the Lisle Library.  I thought this was something that could help them both have a love of reading that their grandma Kathy, their daddy and I all do.  They have a log chart that we write down the books that we read to them and after the first 10 books they get a prize and then after each additional 5 books they recieve another prize.  The summer reading program goes until the end of July, with a Beach Party and then they will pick grand prize winners for those who read the most books.  The final prizes are pretty cool. The Library also has a Summer Reading Program for adults that I signed up for.  I have to read atleast 3 books and complete a review on each book.  After the first 3 books, I get a prize.  The Summer Read prize will be awarded to the first 250 individuals to complete 3 reviews. But for each book that is logged, I will receive an entry for the raffle drawings at the Summer Read party on July 28th.
