cute story...

Today we were out by the pool having a great "family swim" :) I love when all six of us are in the pool together, it feels so special. Luke used to HATE the water, but he is slowly beginning to love it (probably because last summer I was pregnant and had terrible morning sickness and the summer heat made me soooooo sick. I didn't 'break him in' on the pool at all. Lily can't get enough! She's a fish!) Anyway, it's been a great family day :) After we got out of the pool, we sat on the deck for a bit, there was a great breeze, a midst the 100+ degree temps. The boys found an old can from the night before and wanted to get the tab (opener) off the top. I told them how when I was in elementary school we used to count through the alphabet as we bent it back and forth and whatever letter it popped off at was the first letter of the person we were going to marry (SUCH a girl thing!) So Isaiah responds "so you seriously got "D"?!?!?!" (for 'Daddy') I couldn't help but burst out laughing! He then realized it would have been "J" (for Justin) and corrected himself, but it was sooooo cute :) Not sure if you'll feel the same way I did, but I was sure it was blog-worthy :)

It's been sooo hot out! I have been stashing away empty egg cartons and papertowel/toilet paper rolls to use for art projects for school. The boys were very excited to dig in a start getting creative! Isaiah made a snake and Gabe made a shark. I was so impressed with each of their ideas on how to make it look like their animal. They worked together great. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming school year, watching them grow, learn and create together :)
