Summer Fun

Mom, Can we go swimming…please?? OK, but the pool is small…

I do have plans to buy another pool to replace last year’s cracked pool…but the thought of having to keep yet another thing perfect-looking until the house sells stresses me a little (more than I already am).
Seth and Carolyn give up on the pool to “play” with a worm (and chase a lizard- a real one, not the plastic lizard in the picture)…the twins are happy for the space they leave them!


Natalie thinks the worm is cute too. (Note Kaitlyn still in the pool – she’s afraid the ‘snake’ might get her if she doesn’t stay in the pool.)

And today, we made an impromptu trip to see some real snakes (the zoo)…and I survived with all four kids! (I thought it was hard with 4 before…having two more that actually care now and want to get out of the stroller so they can see the animals – yeah, now it is hard. It wasn’t hard before; I was just disillusioned!)


They had fun though…Carolyn rode in the stroller more than anyone else b/c she was ‘tired of walking’. (What’s new?) :)

And except for the constant daily fights between the oldest two, I’m enjoying the summer break!  Yea for summer break!

I love Seth's swim outfit. It's so cute with the shark.

I love Natalie's hip poked out in the first pic. She is such a little priss!

I love all the pictures...the kids look like they are having a grand time!!!
Natalie was a priss for one moment, then when I tried to get a second shot (I always take more than one), she collapsed to the floor, sliding off the bench on the way down, to a puddle of pout!

Patti came home from being camp counselor at the YMCA and cried (literally) "the kids fight and whine and don't listen and appreciate nothing I do!" and Pete and I were like...well yeah that's kids...heehee Yours LOOK like angels!!
