Everybody's Working for the Weekend

This weekend was easily the hottest weekend in Seattle so far this year. So, like every other family in town we went out in the sun to find things to do. And like a good tourist family, we went to Seattle Center to play in the fountain. This is the space age, remember, so the fountain is this shiny silver thing designed to be the future....but all Antonio cared about is that it had water coming out and he could touch it.
And splash in it...




Just minutes after walking out of the fountain the real show started and the fountain sprayed all over! We just missed it, thank goodness or we would have all been in different clothes.



After checking out the fountain we went to the Children's Museum near-by and Antonio showed me all his favorite things there.
This Ya-Ya is awesome, he has a funny face and check out that chest! On Sunday, Antonio was invited to visit his cousin and his new swimming pool. More exciting than cousin's pool are cousins toys. The thing is that now cousin can move too so sharing is a new and not so fun lesson for the boys. But, the good thing is Elijah doesn't cry every time Antonio looks at him, only when Antonio shows his brown temper and grabs him....

The boys had a really good visit, even though they both woke up WAY too early this morning. People shouldn't be awake in the 5 o'clock hour....oh wait, I'll be up tomorrow then.

The most exciting part of the weekend is that Antonio started saying 'Daddy' instead of 'DaDa'. And that was so great...on Monday he also tried 'Mommy' instead of 'Mama'. For some reason the sound of the 'ee' at the end sure does it make your heart melt.

I miss you, Antonionionio! I'm happy to read about your world and see pictures of you on your blog. The picture of you looking in the mirror with your shirt unzipped at the children's museum is AWESOME! I can't wait to see you when I get back!
