Good Ol' Summer Fun

It was a beautiful day for the pool yesterday! We had a playdate at a friends house. Blake was quite the little fisherman and has been talking non stop about fishing. He stood out on the dock with his friend and fished the afternoon away. He caught several fish, but thankfully his buddy would unhook them and set them free. Blake said that he did bait his hook a few times. I guess Brett needs to take Blake fly fishing some time.

The girls and I hung out at the pool. Caitlin is pretty comfortable around water and just does her own thing. It is sooooo nice to FINALLY be free around a pool. I didn't have to hold a child in the water all day. It was so nice to be able to talk with adults. I love that the kids are more independant these days. Maybe we do need a pool in the backyard!!!!!

After such a busy day yesterday, it was so nice to just hang out around our house today. The kids played "Dog Whisperer". Blake was the trainer and had the girls his dogs. He tried to give them dog food, but they quickly found out the hard way that it doesn't taste very good and Madison thought Cheez its would work better. As soon as we did bust out the crackers our dog, Zoe, was happy to join in the fun. We also spent some time outside riding bikes, weeding (the kids love using my cutting utensils), swinging, and dinosaur tag. Yes, there were several arguements along the way as well. Blake is a little obsessive about dinosaurs and wants us to play a certain way. I was also able to clean, clean, and do laundry. We have a busy weekend ahead with Blake's birthday celebrations.

The kids are all cleaned up and in PJ's watching a movie with Brett. AWWWWW - time alone!!!!!!!
