Addison & Isla: Addison and her Big Girl Bed!

It was a HOT and STEAMY weekend in Minnesota. When we woke up on Sunday morning, the windows were actually all fogged up due to the intense heat outside (and mind you, this is at about 6:30am) versus the air conditioned temperature inside. Crazy! There couldn't have been a better day for hanging out at Heather and Guy's pool. Addison was looking forward to playing with Carly and Cassie (or mostly looking forward to playing with their toys) all week. We swam, hung out and had a picnic outside. The kids took a nice long snooze when we got home while I prepped a DELICIOUS dinner and DJ mowed the lawn. THE.WORST.WEATHER to mow the lawn...ever. Someone had to do it. Great family Sunday.

In other big news this weekend, we finally bought a mattress and comforter and put together Addison's big girl bed on Saturday! The beautiful bed and all the bedding were a gift from Grandma Pam, and have been waiting patiently in storage for the time to be right for the big transition. Addison was beyond thrilled, the bed and her room look gorgeous, and her first two nights in it were perfect! We can't believe how easy it was. I think Addison may be scared to get out of it at night, but about 6:30 in the morning she ran into our room exclaiming "I did it! I slept in my big girl bed! now we can go to Carly and Cassie's!" Too cute.

This week marks another short week for us as we prepare to head up to the North Shore of Lake Superior for a much anticipated stay with friends (including all the kiddies) at the Sugarloaf Resort. Our friend's parents purchased this resort several years ago and are very generous in letting their son, his family and all their friends stay there each year. Although we've never been able to make it before (I was either VERY pregnant, had just given birth or have been on vacation), the pictures I've seen are amazing and we can't wait to experience it, with the kids, first hand. I will post pics soon after!

Pool time!
