The yellow really pops, but I like the green too!

Planes
We had an overcast and rainy few days last week. We took the opportunity to go see Planes 3D. This was only the second movie Max and Claire have been to, the first one being Frozen. I was little unsure about them wearing the 3D glasses. Max did great and wore them the whole time, sat still and really enjoyed the movie. Claire did well, but got restless at time and fell asleep the last 20 minutes.
Ugh..went to upload some cute pics of them in their glasses, but it's not in my photo stream? It's in my album. This is the second time I've started a post and not had the picture to go with it. :(
So here are two of my favorite that are on there!

Lately
So, it's been a while since I posted. Just enjoying the days of summer! Last week we went to a splash park. The kids loved it and the best part was that it was free! It's nice to change things up. Hopefully we can go back this week.
We went to my Aunt's pool this weekend. Max and Claire were in the pool for over two hours! They basically had the pool to themselves and loved every minute. Max even went off the diving board multiple times. I would catch him, then he would swim to the side! After the first few he started doing air ninja kicks!
They ate up all the attention this weekend. All of my mom's sisters were in town and showered them with attention. Claire hung with all the women. There's something about being the first grandkids!
Claire has started to play hair dresser. She loves to fix my hair then take pics of it!
OH... They have finally started going to bed without me laying down with them. This is HUGE! There were some nights I would lay down with them for an hour before they fell asleep. All thanks to my Mother-in-law for getting it started and giving me the push I needed!
They each have a folder and in the morning they put a sticker if they slept by themselves! Stickers are gone and folder is full!

Lucky 7
7 is a lucky number in the Fredrick house! 39 years ago, Justin, my best friend, my hubs, my baby daddy, my everything was born! 07.07.75. We were married seven years ago on 07.07.07!
We celebrated this past week in Riveria Maya, Mexico - the same resort we went to on our honeymoon (just realized the room we stayed in ended in 7!) This trip we shared with two other couples - the same two we went to Mexico with last summer! Our four full days were amazing and so relaxing! We were so lucky. We had reserved a swim up suite at the main resort, but were upgraded to the casita suites. This is exactly where we were on our honeymoon. We pretty much spent our time at our swim up pool bar, the beach, eating and drinking. The food there is AMAZING! Everything there is AMAZING! I haven't uploaded pics from the big camera, but here are some from my phone.
I highly recommend El Dorado Royale!

Toes in the Sand
Two weeks ago we went to Holden Beach for the weekend to celebrate Father's Day and birthdays.
Max and Claire were so excited to play in the sand and they loved the waves!

Max has been getting the worst rashes when he plays at the beach. We ended up putting his pj shorts on, hoping less sand would get in.
My neighbor gave me a tip yesterday. She puts diaper cream that has a lot of zinc on her son's inner thighs. Says it works like a charm! Any other tips?
They also got to try sparklers for the first time! Thanks, Aunt Darcy!

Double Trouble
Twins = Double Trouble
Today has been one of the most challenging days I've had in a while. The three's have not been kind to me. While they are learning, exploring, growing and turning into little people that make me laugh everyday, they have also been giving me gray hair.
Yes, they are typical three year olds, but they feed off of each other big time. They have started ganging up on me. Today I let them play in the sprinkler and ended up knocking off an outside bath at the same time! It was all fun and games until I said it was time to go inside. Max took his soaking wet shorts and chucked them at my head then Claire picked up the sprinkler and pointed it to me then proceeded to run around the yard naked . I finally got her dry and inside and went to catch Max.... somehow she got by me and ran around the yard again. AHHHHHH At this point I had had it. I had no patience left. It was nap time. I sent Claire in her room to get underwear and something to sleep in. As I was walking back there, I noticed a wet floor. She had peed all over her floor. (not to mention our cleaning lady came today). She peed on the floor and she did it bc she was mad at me. This is the second time she has done this. ARG!
Max had his share of tantrums today. Most revolved around TV. I have had to really limit how much tv he watches. He is addicted and wants to watch Paw Patrol or Sofia the First all the time. He has actually demanded it. Some days I feel like their butler... (yes, I know that I am the adult and can put a stop to this behavior)
Enough complaining... There is no greater joy than my two children! They are double the love and fun!

Where are the results?
So, our six week weight loss challenge ended Sunday. (We had a six week challenge against another couple - highest percent lost, won) I am so glad it is over. Although we try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, it was stressful to always be thinking about the competition. Justin did great! He lost about 8.5 lbs! The other couple lost about 10 lbs each - then there was me... +2. really? And as of yesterday, I am +5. I'm having a hard time knowing that I am 10 lbs heavier than last summer. I've tried all different types of exercise: HIIT, Interval, Cardio classes, spinning and recently, Pure Barre.
What gives?
Tomorrow is my last day of Pure Barre. I have really enjoyed my two weeks. It's hard as hell. I think I have noticed some small changes. I would like to continue, but think it will have to wait until after kids go back to school.
Last week they finished swim camp and have turned into big fish. They want to be in the big pool all the time now and don't want to wear their puddle jumpers. I usually let one take their's off and swim to me, while the other stays in their puddle jumpers.
This week they have been in Vacation Bible School. They seem to be having a great time! Actually, it's always a good time when their buddies are around!
