Before We Swim........

Is It Hot Enough Yet?


Every year about this time I get asked if I will go in the pool and/or why don't I.  My usual response is that it has to be about 90 degrees in order for me to even think about going in.  It takes a lot of heat to make me want to actually get wet to cool off, but really I'm more thinking, "Is the water clean?" 


Today Molly asked me why I wasn't a pool person, and Sam informed me that it is about 90 degrees so I can go in the pool now.



So I made it in the pool for about 30 seconds.  That was enough time for Ben to capture a few pictures with his new iTouch, but not enough time for the younger people to be satisfied that I actually went in the pool :)

Breakfast Fun

The summer has been full of hustling, bustling, outings, innings, taking care of a lot of business, and having a lot of fun.  With the older boys working, this summer finds me enjoying the younger crew in a new way.  This morning after the older boys were off to work, David asked to make Eggs in a Well - a breakfast we haven't had in a very looong time.

Mmmmmm

Breakfast is served!

They seem to enjoy this a lot. Looks like we have a new old breakfast favorite!

Laundry Tips

No, not tips on how to do one's laundry, but rather the little tips my children leave me to say how much they appreciate the fact that I clean their laundry. 

How is that for putting the best constuction on things :)
