End of summer fun!

We have been trying to make the most of the warm days on our weekends before it gets cold outside. We didn't get as much done as we had planned but we did make it to the air show, Royals game and Zona Rosa Art Fair.  We have been doing more yard work like weeding, taking out flower beds and re-landscaping, seeding the yard, getting fall mums and replanting hostas and day lillies for next year.  Quentin also replaced our bathroom floor with faux tile.  It looks so real you would never know unless I told you.  He did a fabulous job...he even took the toilet up YUCK!!!  Our next indoor projects are building a storage bench for blankets and pillows in our bedroom along with Gus' bunk beds.  Our next outdoor projects are replacing siding and trim on the house and then painting.  Needless to say we have LOTS to do!  Any volunteers?

The baby is now 18 weeks old weighing in at 7 oz and the size of green pepper.  I have felt little twinges of movement but not the full experience of it yet.  My appetite has definitely increased as it is supposed to but I haven't been packing on the pounds yet so I'm good with that :-)  i definitely feel stretched though!

On to the Gusser...he is picking up on things quicker and quicker everyday.  Words are starting to become more clear and he is communicating wonderfully.  He saw bubbles on Grandma's computer screen, pointed and said, "b...b...bubbles!"  It was very cool.  He spent Friday night with Grandpa and Mimi until about 10pm when we went to pick him up asleep and put him back in his bed and he spent Saturday night with Grandma until about 10:30pm and we did the same. He did great both nights.  We think he is officially ready for his overnight at Grandpa and Mimi's next weekend for our anniversary where he will share the weekend with them and Grandma as well.  I think he is really starting to see how much fun he can have with his grandparents. I wonder what it is they are letting him do or eat that we don't :-0  Notice his big boy hair cut in the pictures!  Some of these are from the previous weekend as well.
