Busy Doing Nothing

It's amazing how easily days and weeks can just go by rather uneventfully and contentedly.  Let's see, it's been HOT...so Keller has been just hanging out in his diaper all day which actually has lead to two diaper companies getting emails from me (see what happens when I have time on my hands).  But really, I tried those Huggies Pure and Naturals because I had a good coupon and not only did the tabs tear off easily, but Keller tore a piece of the diaper off and put it into his mouth!  Huggies was good and sent me several coupons for free diapers and an envelope to send them a couple of my diapers for them to further research-yadda yadda!  And now 7th Generation is going to get an email from me because the diaper ends up getting all pilled with pretty big fuzz balls that Keller had in his hand upon waking up from a nap and peels off when just cruising around...Ugh!  These are Keller's first time in the sprinkler pictures:)  He liked the idea of being able to get wet to his little heart's content and kept trying to grab the water sprays...Very cute.  And of course Bo like the sprinkler too as he checked in every so often and lapped up some water for himself.  That's the best we can do around here since this mama never bought her poor little boy a pool!  We manage just fine...I just want one of those plastic ones, not the blow-up kind mostly because I don't want to have to fill it with air and take the air out, etc...not to mention the big dog that will probably end up in it at some point and his clawed paws...

What else, so on Tuesday, Jill, Cali, and Chase came down and we went to the zoo.  Jill had a pass from her library for free admission...that's the way to do it!!  It's a sad little ghetto zoo with what seemed to be a lot of empty pens/cages/spaces, but nonetheless, something to do.  The tiger and bears were the biggest excitement.  In the above picture you can see Keller waving to the turkeys/chickens/hens.  He's getting more proficient at his waving!

After the zoo, we played at the house for a little bit.  Cali's officially crawling now too so she and Keller made for good little playmates:)  Check out those big blue Sperrazza eyes!!  

Me and Keller have our first "job" walking "Grandma D's" Llahsa Apsa (sp)...She is a high school friend's grandma who lives in my neighborhood and her pup needs exercise so we walk "Becky" three days a week (although we weren't allowed to walk her yesterday because it was too hot--as Gramma said, "No no, honey, even my rug is wet and sweaty today!")  It's good for us to have a little sense of responsibility to carry out!

This weekend we have lots to do, or rather I have lots to do!  It's one of those "3 Shower Weekends" of which I can only attend two!  Two babies and a wedding...My cousin's wife is expecting in September, my friend "Kayaking Jenn" is expecting a phone call from South Korea any day now to FINALLY get to bring her little boy home...he was born in December, and Travis' cousin is getting married in Nantucket in October.  We're looking forward to that wedding as a nice little weekend away.  I haven't been to Nantucket since I was 5 or so.  I remember getting splashed while on the ferry going over....hmmm...are you supposed to get splashed when on a ferry???  I also remember that I got to sit in the kiddie seat on the back of my dad's bike while Jill and Jeff pushed their bikes up a hill.  And the Andes Candies left on our pillows...Yup, I'm known in the family as the rememberer or random bits of information that others think I made up...

Tea Time before the boy wakes up!
