july 2012 ~ week 30 {swimming, molars, olympics}

howdy, y'all!  what a week!  mama is tuckered.  but you already knew that, didn't you?  it seems to be a running theme.  here are a few highlights from our week...

all that, a lil' grass cuttin', and design star watchin', too.

how do i not receive a monetary paycheck come week's end?  other than the little's smiling faces and a mama's aching joints, you know. ;)

after theater, we kicked off the week with a swimming play-date.  the rain kept some away, but the theater kiddos managed to have fun anyway.  they're a pretty funny group, anyway.

i let gracie ease into the idea of having her molar pulled before scheduling the appointment.  crowded mouth + big, beautiful teeth + baby teeth in the way = twisted, permanent teeth.  must pull baby molar before any more damage is done.  *sigh* 

saying no to nitrous oxide, mama is not above gifts to help ease the pain and anxiety.  and then gracie lost another molar - same week {on her own}, breaking the tooth-fairy bank.

books, ice cream, puzzle.  fun and educational.  check.

this scene only lasted a minute, but found it too priceless to not capture.  modern communication.

a fun swim play-date with sweet friends.

and their newest addition.  completely. adorable.  yes?

we rounded out the week by watching the much anticipated opening ceremony of the olympics in london.  we thought it was pretty spectacular.  gracie especially loved the harry potter tribute. ;)

saying goodbye to another week... and the end of watching the little house on the prairie series with the girls.    

in nator's words, "they just don't make shows like this anymore."  so true.  i think we're going to try the waltons next.  i mean, they need to know what mama is talking about when she says, "good night, john-boy."
