Our Weekend!

This past weekend was a busy one around the house for all of us. Scott spent the weekend outside trying to get the rest of the landscaping done so that he can move on to other projects, have some weekend family time and not have to spend his whole summer outside working in the yard. Gavin and I watched Scott work on the flower beds in the front yard from the bay window. Gavin was so excited every time he saw Scott appear! Whenever Scott would disappear from view, Gavin would press his hands and face to the window trying to see where he went. It was so cute. Scott took some pictures from outside to show what he saw...



Gavin and I also spent a few hours outside getting the Terrain washed on Saturday so that Scott and I could work on the much needed waxing and detailing it needed. I decided that since it was so nice out I would have Gavin try out his swimming trunks and shirt (SPF/UPF 50 - awesome that they make swimming suits with that protection now!!) and I put some sunblock on him (he hated that part... it's going to be a long summer in pools fighting to keep him covered and protected from sun burn). I let him stand in his crib (we spend some time in his room so he can pull himself up and move around his crib every day now... we also use his pack and play for that now since that is sometimes the only thing he wants to do!) so that I could get a picture of his swimming outfit...


While we were outside washing the Terrain, I misted Gavin with water and he wasn't really sure what to make of it. He didn't hate it, but he wasn't laughing either...


He loves water (he loves sitting at sinks playing in the water, grabbing the faucet, kicking his feet in it and his bath) so I am sure he will warm up to this as well. We can't wait to get him in a pool and the ocean, we are sure he will love those!

We are almost done detailing the Terrain (Scott did all of the waxing, I washed it, did the tires, covered all the plastic/rubber in 303 to protect it, interior windows, vacuumed and wiped down all the interior) but it has taken 3 nights of many hours and 2 more of shorter hours to get there. It is completely worth it though. Scott took this picture the other night after he had finished the side.

It's so shiny!!! You can't tell from the picture, but it is also silky smooth! It is definitely a lot of work, but it is 100% worth the work to protect and take care of it!
