Change of Plans

Today Kherington wanted to go swimming so I told her to look outside and see how the weather was.  She said it was fine so we got suited up, lathered on the sunscreen and headed out.  That's when I realized that having a 5 year old check the weather wasn't the smarted idea.  They were in the pool all of 5 minutes before I heard the first thunder and made them get out.  By the time we got back to our apartment it was down pouring.

Instead the kids spent the rest of the day building block tower and train tracks and taking pictures using the timer.  I can't wait until Jonathan is old enough to join in the fun.

Jonathan's Solids

5.5 months old and trying solids for the second time (rice cereal and momma milk). Spoon feeding my kids ranks among my least favorite activities. Here's to hoping he learns to chew and can start feeding himself soon. I'd take a mess over me feeding him any day.

What My Apartment Looks Like

The worst part about Ryan being gone is that I would put all 3 kids, the house would still be a mess, and cleaning is the last thing that I want to do. Ryan is awesome and cleans up each evening and unloads the dishwasher (kind of hard to load the dishwasher when clean dishes are still inside).

Pool Time ... Or Not

The kids wanted to go swimming so I told Kherington look outside and if the sun was shining we could go.  She said it was (I keep the blinds shut all day to keep the house cool), so we got out suits and sunscreen on and headed over.  The kids were in the pool for all of 5 minutes before it started to drizzle and I told them we had to go home (the thunder and lightening started just as we got back to the apartment).  So instead of swimming they spent they afternoon playing Legos. Legos are awesome and Duplo Legos are definitely way cooler than the little ones.

While they played Legos, Jonathan kept wiggling himself out of his bouncer.  A little later I put him in the johnny jumper while I made dinner and came back to find the couch over him.  The kids told me he was taking a shower.  I love their imagination.
