Big Girl Swing



Gwyneth is starting to swing on the big girl swing.

For you parents this may seem late, but it's not that she was still using the lil' swings, she's just never been a big swing girl, so she usually avoids them altogether.

Not anymore. She's all about 'higher, push me higher'. And this leads to the tragic accident of yesterday afternoon. Not pictured here, because Mommy left the park with the camera. But as Jeremy was pushing Gwyneth he suddenly noticed her flying straight forward with arms flapping like a little bird and down to the earth she fell. Now, we aren't pushing her THAT high, so it might have been a three foot fall. but that was enough to lead to shaking and tears and quite a few scratches and bruises. Poor girl. Come to find out, she let go to push the hair away from her face. Oooops. A lesson you only have to learn the hard way once.....hopefully.

Our brave girl was ready to get back on a different swing the very next day. We kept the pushing to a minimal this time.
And being obsesed with equinimity here are a couple of the Mister.

We Love Amazon Fresh


We did the math and figured out that Amazon Fresh (grocery home delivery) actually costs about the same as our grocery store. The groceries come to our front porch before even we wake up in these big tubs.

We are all very thrilled about not using up a weekend morning at the grocery store.

Some of us more than others. Did I mention that you can add to your order up till midnight the night before? I don't work for them, I promise. But I love them.

They were having a two for one special on cute, but trouble making kids. We couldn't resist.

What Have I Done????

Corin got his first haircut on Saturday.
He wasn't so sure about it all at first.
But eventually he warmed up to the whole thing.
She did a great job cutting his hair, but now he looks like such a big kid, I can't hardly stand it. I want those baby curls back!!! :(

Before: After:

He's still just a baby! I'm not ready for him to be so big!
Oh, but check out the walking:

And because Corin's not the only one being cute around here, here is Gwyneth Dancing:
