Swimming

More pictures from our little pool party.

Pool Party

Benjamin and I had a pool party on Friday.  We set up his pool and water table in the backyard under the umbrella and played the day away. 



Happy Friday

Just a few pictures of Benjamin's week at school.

Painting...

Puzzles...

And round table discussions...

Hope you have a sunny weekend!

Mopping

GiGi and Poppy gave Benjamin a stick horse for his "get well gift" after his surgery and Benjamin loved it!  Just not using it for what its intended purpose is.  But hey, if my baby wants to mop, by all means, let him mop! 

Surgery Continued

Benjamin's ear tube surgery was easy peasy.  It couldn't have gone better.  We were the first surgery of the day at Texas Children's so we were there at 6:00 and Benjamin was home eating breakfast by 9:15.  He did great considering he had not had anything to eat or drink since dinner the night before.  Benjamin was in heaven with all of the toys they had in the pre surgery holding area. 

Hopefully we are ear infection free for a REALLY long time!  

Tubes

Today is the day!  Our sweet little Benjamin is FINALLY getting his tubes in his ears!  I will post an update as soon as we get home. 

I could watch this sweet boy day and night.  Love him so much.



 

 

Yard Work

We did a lot of work in the backyard this weekend.  On Saturday we spent most of the day planting in the beds.  We planted 11 different types of plants but my favorites are the Little Gem Magnolia tree, Meyer lemon tree and the Hydrangeas.  I can't wait for the lemons to grow! 

Last week at school Benjamin learning all about plants. They have a garden at school that the big kids planted and Benjamin's class goes out to observe the changes, how much the plants have grown, etc.  which is perfect because now he has lots of plants to watch grow in our own backyard.

Next up for the backyard is building the pergola! 

 

Some other things happening around here...school officially ended for me last Friday and summer has officially started!  Let the summer fun begin!  First thing on the list- get Benjamin's ears healthy!  Benjamin is having his tube surgery on Tuesday and I just know he is going to feel so much better and I will be so happy that he hopefully won't have as many ear infections.
