Let us in!

This is how we spent everyday for the last two weeks. Wonderful Swim Lessons! Nick had a great time and learned a lot, and the rest of us had a nice view from above. Due to something going around in some of the local pools, we did miss one day when Nick was a little ill! OOOH!! We tried watching down by the water's edge the first day, but for obvious reasons we stayed as far away from the water the rest of the two weeks. Needless to say, we won't do swim lessons again until Mckay turns 3 and can join the fun in the water.

I am Lion hear me ROAR!

Nat came to me the other day, pulled me to the closet, and pointed to this costume! She didn't just want to play with it, but wanted it on. She wore it for 30 minutes and loved every minute of it. She didn't even mind the massive amounts of fur on her chubby little face. She roared and roared and her brothers loved it too. Can't wait for Halloween. I always wanted to have a little Princess, but maybe a lion would be more fun.

The Tramp!

We finally splurged and bought a trampoline! I have been wanting to get one for a long time and Nate came home with it last weekend. SURPRISE! He couldn't just go get the Walmart special either, it had to be this "cool" one he saw in someone's backyard. It is fun and the kids are loving it. We have used the neighbors trampoline almost everyday this summer, so the more they come use ours now, the better I feel about all the use their's got! Don't worry, yesterday, Nick still went ant used the neighbors! I guess some habits are hard to break. I took these pictures before the net was up- you can see Mckay wrapped up in it being a MONSTER!

Bee Sting #7

Yep! It's true. It just happened. Bee sting # 7 for the month! Poor Mckay. After the crying stopped, I told him we had to take a picture. He asked if he could do his scary face! Maybe he should pull that more when he is around the bees!

Sleepy Nat!

Sorry about the background noise! I was on the phone when I realized Nat was sleeping instead of eating lunch!

Bee's Love Me!

The other day Mckay and Nick were out playing when I heard somone screaming. My front door swings open with my neighbor freaking out, holding Mckay in her arms, and yelling for me. I thought for sure we were headed to the hospital this time. She quickly yelled "is he allergic to bees?" 'Thankfully' he had been stung just 2 days before that so I knew we were okay as my heart was recovering from the fear that someone was dead!
Do some of us attract bee's more than others? I don't know the answer to this, but my little Mckay would have to say "yes." He has been stung 6 times in the past 3 weeks. WEIRD! 3 at one time, 2 today, and 1 three weeks ago. Either he thinks the bees are fun to play with like other bugs(ie. spiders!), or he just has good smelling blood. Either way, I hope he doesn't continue this pattern much longer!

Build, Play, Laugh

We went to the children's museum with my beautiful sister and Houston! The kids love it there. Mckay discovered some new building toys, Nick some new magnetix, and Natalie enjoyed a little game of peek-a-boo! We also found a little "crack" from time to time.
