July 4th - Asia Style

We started out the weekend with the addition of Ainsley and Kara's new bed.  This is a kid-friendly bunk bed that Matt and I were considering and once Ainsley and Kara saw it (at IKEA) there was no turning back.  Their eyes lit up in the IKEA showroom like nothing we had ever seen before!  So, alas we now have bunk beds.  (Ainsley sleeps on top!)

It has been raining a TON here lately and we decided not to attend the American Association picnic on Saturday celebrating July 4th because of the rain.  So, Sunday we headed to the American Club for the closest thing we could find to celebrating the holiday.  Lots of swimming, but no fireworks :-(

Ainsley is sporting a swim cap because her hair is turning green from the chlorine.

Check out the Diamond family with no high chairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After swimming and lunch we headed to the free cupcake area.  Ainsley quickly and quietly took as many as she could, while I was focused on Kara (you'll see why below)...

Love the expression Ainsley has while she looks at the American flag.  "Ugh, what is this?!?!"

Kara thoroughly enjoyed the blue cupcake, but notice in the background Jack is eating his to-go cup of french fries.  He can't be bothered with cupcakes.

This was cute until about five hours later when it came back up...mixed with spaghetti and grapes.  (When we were cleaning up the puke Ainsley says, "Why is this blue, is this from that cupcake earlier?" Smart girl!)

Check out Kara...not in diapers!  WOO HOOO!  She is still wearing pull ups about half of the time, but progress is good!  (By the way, Jack is no where close to getting out of diapers.)
