The Week In Review

T

he week began with Chloe and I driving south to Washington, D.C. to meet my sister, Deanna. Deanna was on assignment at a national park and Chloe and I picked her up to take her back to NJ for the week.

We attempted to tour D.C. on Friday, June 8, but it was ridiculously hot and humid and we didn't last long. We were able to get a few photos in at some of the landmark sights.

On Saturday, June 9, BeBe arrived from Dallas. We picked her up at the airport and then went to our block party. Chloe only got out of the bounce house long enough to play with the bubbles.

On Tuesday Chloe had her birthday celebration on the last day of pre-school. I made monkey cupcakes for the event and served as the co-oping mom for the day. BeBe and Aunt Deanna also got to come and witness 7 toddlers in a pre-school class.

For Chloe's birthday, Aunt Deanna and BeBe bought Chloe a trampoline. She adores it as she just LOVES to hop, hop, hop. Chloe freaked when she saw the trampoline box in the back yard. She begged for us to put it together. After it was assembled and tested, Chloe got to give it a try. Since the trampoline has been in the yard, Chloe wakes up and her first words are, "Do you want to go bounce?". She LOVES it.

Thursday we all celebrated Chloe's birthday in the city (see post below). We had a great week and we were happy that BeBe and Aunt Deanna could help us celebrate Chloe's 3rd birthday.

P.S. If you are ever in NYC and are a foodie, be sure to take this tour. BeBe, Deanna and I took it on Sunday and really enjoyed it.
