THIS WEEK

 We checked off our first items from the summer bucket list this week....jump street and swimming with friends!

Kitty wasn't too sure of this place at first, but I jumped with her a little ( until I got kicked off the little kid tramp) and then she had a ball. Lalo did, too.;)

We've had a lot of late nights and early mornings this week but it doesn't seem to phase Ben. This morning, he was up, had his chores finished and was painting a picture of a "Panda house" at 6:30 am!

There is a whole lot of swimming going on this year. The three big kids are practicing 1-2 hours four days a week and then we are hitting the pool for fun a couple of those afternoons. Throw in a day-long swim meet on Saturdays and we are practically living at the pool!

Kate is REALLY loving the water this year. She is always asking for "dimming pool!" Today I had to keep dragging her out of the deep water..... She goes so far in that the water is at her chin! I told her today she was too small to be that far out in the pool as she yelled, " NO I NOT! NO I NOT!" As I pulled her to shallow water....;)

Lovin the summer with my kiddies!!!!
