Some backyard fun

Yesterday afternoon I filled up the kids little pool and let it warm up over a few hours. Then we went outside for some water fun. I knew the girls would love it but Caden has never played in it. He has had the chance just would never get in. Even when we went to a big pool a few times this summer I made him get in with me for a bit but he just never enjoyed it.

So last night he shocked me he walked right out there and hoped right in. He even started sliding. I was worried after he went under water that he wouldn't slide again (it moves kinda fast when your suit is wet). But I told him to shake it off and he did and that was it. He is becoming my tough little two year old.

Caylea had a blast swimming I knew she would but she was even blowing bubbles and talking to me about last year when she was in swim class and how she hated it. She wants to take swim classes now of course but we don't have a Y membership anymore at this time.

Carolina loved it too of course. She has always been so cold natured she had a hard time enjoying the water but this summer she has really gotten more into it. She still gets cold but not near as bad and if she wraps up in a towel for a bit she is ready to hop right back in :)











Hmm. . .thought I would share with you a little example of what my day is like with my 2 and 3 year old. . .of course on a normal day the 6 year old is fighting in the mix. . .Actually I think Caylea and Carolina fight and Carolina and Caden fight. . .I am thinking Caylea and Caden do not generally fight not that it never happens just not often.. Not sure why. . .hmmm



I had appointments this morning for Carolina and Caden and Caylea didn't want to go so she got to go hang out with her Aunt Patsy she had so much fun! She kept asking me questions about Patsy and her cats and dogs all day. . .I just had to keep telling her I don't know you will have to ask Patsy. . . So Patsy be ready Caylea has a million questions for you :)

We have Well Child checkups for all 3 kiddos tomorrow. Caylea needs her 4-6 year boosters, Carolina needs her 18 month boosters and Caden has to start his vaccinations. Because of his allergies we have put off starting until now. So if you think about it our appointments are at 11:00 in the morning. I think I could use your prayers also that their vaccinations do not cause too much discomfort for them after they are done.
