Busy busy busy day/week/month/year/life...

We have been so busy, just like the rest of the world I'm sure, this week is just a bit overwhelming. Most of it is self inflicted, but this week was supposed to be quiet, I"m glad I started writing things down.

This morning we met Sarah & Lisa (who NEEDS a blog...) at the bakery. Note that Zeeland Bakery has NO air conditioning, and they are a BAKERY, meaning ovens running, add a little humidity and you get misery! But it was raining so we had to sit inside, good to see them again after thier vacation!

After the bakery we came home to give Elliot a nap, the kids played for a bit, i did a bit of cleaning. This picture was taken at lunch today... I'm very lucky that Matt comes home every day, so is Elliot. He is SUCH a daddy's boy, something we are very much not used to. Elliot will not eat lunch for me. It's his tradition to sit on Matt's lap and eat whatever Matt is eating, so much a tradition that the child will NOT eat in his high chair, or from me.

This afternoon after lunch we headed to the Aquatic center. Elliot has never been so I wasn't sure how he would do, turns out he LOVED it. If you've never been, there is a splash pool for the little ones, a slide and whirlpool for the older kids and the big pool with diving boards and blow up toys is open. The splash pool is like a beach, it angles in so it gets deeper the further you go (not deeper than my knees though), Elliot didn't quite understand this concept though and kept trying to crawl in deeper and deeper. He did have a great time though, for about an hour, then he decided he was tired and had had enough. So we left and gave him a nap, unfortunately I think he awoke a little to early and this is how we spent the afternoon... I felt bad for him, but truthfully I got pretty darn sick of it too!

When Matt came home we went to Craigs Cruisers. It was supposed to be our small group, but b/c of different circumstances it ended up just being the Overweg's and ourselves. We ate dinner there and I have to say that the pizza there wasn't all that bad (if you remember at all, I'm VERY VERY picky about my pizza). Landon drove the go-karts for the first time by himself, he was pretty proud of himself (although he woudl never say that). They all did the bumper boats too, all getting pretty wet! We all had a fun time.

So yeah... busy and active day here, and another one tomorow, and Thursday and then this weekend too! Agghhhhhhhh! Oh well, it can always be worse!

Friday, if you need dinner (and who doesn't eat)... there is a chicken barbecue downtown Zeeland benfiting Youth for Christ. I think WJQ is also going to be down there and there will be some concerts going on Friday and Saturday. The Bridge is putting on a three-on-three tournament Friday and Saturday too (they will be taking registration for that until Friday afternoon), Landon will be doing this with some friends (and he's SOOOOO excited). So if you need something to do this weekend, here are some options for you!
