A wee bit overwhelming.
Well been a bit since I posted but that is because it has been a wee bit hectic at Casa de Klauer. 1st in the line of craziness was our Mini Van AC was not working and we had to figure out why. So after all that fun we find out that the 2 line assemblies for the AC that works the rear part of the AC had gigantic holes in them.. So we dropped off our van at the the mechanics Wed and supposed to get it back Thursday but in the fixing process one of the brake lines broke and needed to be replaced to so we got out Vehicle back on Friday at 10am. Pretty stressful considering I had an eye appt and a dr appt that I had to keep rescheduling in a small window to get them done in before both DRs were on vacation.. Also during the time frame we hosted as a stop through and relax place for Nick's cousin Dana and his wife Lisa.. They were at St Mary's with their brand new baby boy (ooohhh So cute) we really enjoyed being able to help them in their time of stress.
To add to the fun of using the one car we also had Isaac's first Swim lesson on that thrusday... SO MUCH FUN!! I loved seeing him out there splashing around. I was a lot nervous due to the fact that it is not a zero entry pool but the class size is only 4 kids to the life guard/teacher and they had these big floaty blocks around their waist. Isaac's 1st class pretty much consisted of the rules of the pool which took up most of the time and then getting in and out safely, crab crawling holding on to the wall, kicking his feet, trying to put their faces in the water, and of course the fun assisted jumping off the wall into the pool.. Isaac got some major AIR! so all in all after the 30 min the poor guy was sad to leave.
Isaac learning the rules! Getting familiar with the water!
Isaac getting some AIR! 1st lesson all done.. Sad to go!
Well so that brings me back to Friday and getting my car back.. lol yup all that happened in 2 days. Well got my van back with it's new icy cold breeziness. Shoved the kids in the car along with my brother who arrived that morning for the week and off to get groceries we seriously were in need of a few items. Dropped the boys and my brother off at the house with the groceries and subway for lunch and he put them to nap for me while I ran around and got all those appointments that had been rescheduled (over and over and over) finally done. Whew that night we had our Friends Becky and Kris and their family over for Goohlash yummy and strawberry cheesecake. It was a great visit we really enjoy hanging out with them and it is super convenient that our kids are so close in age. Isaac has a buddy Lydia, and Noah has his buddy Henry, and of course Adam will have his buddy not sure on gender or name yet for their little one due in Dec. We wrapped up dinner and cleaned up and then set up the pack and play and air mattress for Kristin, Marc and Thomas who were swinging by on their long haul down to Virginia Beach. Whew what a crazy day..
Saturday we relaxed with Kristin, Marc and Thomas. It was really nice to see them all especially Marc! I hadn't seen him since right before Noah was born when they headed out to California.
Sunday of course we headed back to the Dells with my brother Kory to the Wilderness. I seriously love that place. I wish we had the extra moolaa right now to get a timeshare up there. The boys just love the kid areas of the water park and I love the indoors areas. Haven't really spent much time outdoors there yet. But it is nice to be able to drive 45 min for a fun filled day.. I always pack up the snacks and the boys' lunch. We usually get there around 10 and stay till 4 so it is a pretty long day for the boys.
Well the rest of the week was pretty uneventful.. Just hanging out as a family and having my brother here. He was busy trying to get a lot of records on our Wii. lol.
Today we are off to the ENT for Isaac's check up. Make sure everything still looks good in there. I sure hope so.. We really haven't had any problems lately with ear infections for him so knock on wood all in all is good. And tomorrow we are hoping for another work day on the basement. Then we are off to Bagley for the 4th of July events. I hope the weather stays nicer and not too insanely hot. Have a great 4th of July everyone..
