Our Rock Climber

SHARK!!!

Though the weather seemed kinda iffy, the kids really wanted to walk to the park. We got to play for about 30min. before the rain started. I called Rob to come pick us up. I wanted to call sooner rather than later in case it really started coming down. (There's no cover) But, it never really became much more than a sprinkle, and even that didn't last long. (oops :( )
When we got home, Rob told the kids they could go swimming. That was a huge hit. They played Shark mostly. T would stand on the stairs and save Jade from the shark as she floated by on her kickboard. He'd say, "Hurry princess hurry" (really sounds more like herder). They probably stayed out there for a little over an hr., but they came back inside ready to get in the tub- teeth chattering. They stayed in their suits in the tub for another hour.

Guestbook Update

We were so excited to see pictures from Brandy's and David's families. The kids have really grown!! We love you guys and miss you bunches. I think of ya'll all the time!! Thanks for signing our Guest Book! The kids love looking at the map and having the pictures come up. Check out our Guestbook for the other pictures!! And add to it. I've put it at the bottom of our blog, also.

**Jade's New Bracelet**

I hope this works!! We ordered her a PINK one. I think she's gonna like it! I found a pdf file on google for a homemade thumb guard and I think Jade will like it better than the commercial ones. (They only come with 5 pink bands and the guard is clear).

"Wormie"

We had a really bad storm come through last night and the power went out around 8:00. We lite candles and had a good time singing the kids to sleep. This afternoon while I was cleaning out Train (the name Jade gave our pool cleaner), I pulled a gigantic wopper of a worm out of the bag. GROSS. The kids loved it! T tried to feed it grass. I tried to put it in the dirt by the house and T begged to keep him. So, I got an extra trash can from out of the garage and put some dirt in it. I put Wormie (why do they insist on putting an e on words?) in the trash can. Jade came out with a glass of what I thought was water and gave Wormie a drink. It was orange drink. T wanted a turn, so I talked him into giving Wormie a glass of water and promised him he could do this each day.
