Water Play!

So since this magical summer is winding down to an end, we used Saturday to our advantage and squeezed in as much summer fun as we could. In the evening we went to see the Obrynbas and take a dip in their pool, it was very fun. Except for that part of it when Sydney told me to shut up (Oh.the.testing.boundaries) and had to sit in time out while we all swimmed and splashed around. We also had a seriously awesome dinner with all of the summer fixin's... Hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans, corn on the cob, watermelon, etc. yummmmyyyyyy. We always have a great time with those guys so it did not disappoint. Plus they are SUPER good and fun with Sydney so it really warms my heart to be able to go and hang out with them, with or without the Syd monster.

Saturday morning we went to Ocean Breeze since this weekend will be our last chance to go for the summer. It was the busiest it has ever been (Labor Day weekend, Rock n Roll Half Marathon---pick your tourist poison) but it was still a lot of fun. I met a friend of mine up there from work since we have worked together for year, knowing we have children that are the same age and still have yet to get them together. They loved each other and we had a great time.

It took all of 2 hours for them to be this chummy....

And Sydney wore herself out so much that this took all of 2 minutes to happen. Pure Bliss....

Sydney Says...

Since I pretty much suck at updates on here I have come up with an idea to HOPEFULLY help me get more regular about this here blog. My idea involves sharing the little tidbits that Sydney does because, legit, everyday there is another moment that she says something that either melts my heart or makes me wonder "where did this girl get that from?"

So Thursday morning while getting ready for school Sydney had told me she wanted to wear her Dora outfit, NBD. She even corrected me when I brought in her pink fluffy flowery Dora, miss personality, and asked me to get her blue Dora shirt and her matching shorts. Well, excuse me missy. Anyways, after I got ready for work and we were getting ready to leave, Sydney goes "Mama? I wanna wear my pretty dress?" Cue melting heart. While she is saying this she is twirling and looking down like she does when she puts on her dress. It was sooooo stinking cute. How could I say no? So I say which one baby the pink one or the green one? and she at first chose the green one but then when I went to get it, she was like nooooo the pink one please!

Love this girl.

It kinda makes up for the fact that she learned how to say "Shut up!" and now will randomly say "Shut up Mommy!"....Instant Timeout for that one.

Until next time!
