The Hopwood Happenings: July 2012

Some funny pictures from this week. First the happy ones, then the not-so-happy ones.

We call these smoothie mustaches and Jack is the best at giving himself a huge mustache!! He thinks it's hilarious. I had to clean some of it out of his nose too.

Monday morning Jack woke us up at 3:30am. He was wide awake and Nick, Jack and I were all up from then on. Needless to say, he was tired last night. He hit the dog, so Nick put him in time out. He went to get out of his time-out chair and hit his head...it was all over after that! Tears, tears, tears. It was so sad I decided to take his picture.

Later he was getting ready to go to bed and decided he wanted to eat. At first I said no, but then gave in as I didn't want a repeat of the night before. He was very upset at first...

He's knows he's getting his way by this devilish face...

So cute...he gets what he wants and he's happy with his Cheerios. How conveniently those tears come and go! Jack rarely gets so upset that he has real tears so when he does it's so sad! He even got stung by a bee last night and didn't even cry...but don't feed him and he's one mad child.

I love it when Julie, our nanny, sends me pictures of the kids when they are out doing fun things. They have had a nice summer so far. Hunter has done several camps (at his school, vacation bible school next week, safety town, etc.), but they have also spent a ton of time at our club pool, tot splash, domino's petting farm, the parks, canton splash pad, etc. The kids love the water. Our old nanny (long story) Monica, who is Julie's friend (Monica "trained" Julie), watches these girls who also belong to the same club, so they have been spending a lot of time on playdates together. The family Monica watches has four kids, but they have two nannies, so Monica usually has the two girls that are the same age as Jack and Hunter. I ran into the mom at the pool yesterday and we had a good laugh about how are kids see each other every day, but we don't hang out together. They have hung out six of the last six weekdays together--ha! We also talked about how maybe we should quit our day jobs and take the kids to the pool every day instead!!

Buhr Park Tot Splash....Julie said Hunter was in rare form and having a blast!!

They play really nicely together....so funny

Seriously, how cute is this picture above??? Jack and Allison...She is SOOOOO cute!!!

I secretly hope these two get married.

Domino's petting farm...

Jessica, Hunter, Jack, and Allison. I really like this picture too. The girls always look so cute and dressed

up :) I heard there might have been some bribery involved with getting this picture.

Rare sweet moment between brothers.

Hayride at Domino's Petting Farm

Such a cutie pie!!

I can't wait to show these to Hunter when he gets older! I'm just happy he's being nice to a girl.

Jack likes to climb on the diving board, but he won't jump off. Hunter is a wild man who does belly smackers left and right off the diving board!

Splash pad in Canton...it's free!

Playing on the deck. Awesome action shot. Poor Jack.

Julie found this on pintrest. You put paint in the bag and they can draw with their fingers in it.

Jack at Gallup Park in Ann Arbor (back in May).

Brave boy!!

Julie babysat last weekend for us so we could go out with some friends...they busted out the silly string on the deck...It looks like a mess, but I'm just glad it was cleaned up when I got home!
