Swimming, swimming, I love swimming!

Today was the boys last day of city swim lessons and my Mom's last day for staying with us.  She has been here for nearly 3 weeks!  Wow, have I been spoiled!  I have loved every single minute of her visit.  She even tried to teach me how to knit.  I have to say, that is not my talent.  Anyhow, here are some pictures of our last swim day and our last day with Grandma until vacation in two weeks!!

Thumbs up for three rides on the slide all by himself!



So upset because he was only able to ride the slide twice.

Let me catch you up....

I have been blogging from my iPhone lately.  It doesn't format very well to my 3 column blog.  Hence my pictures looking a little funny.  Anyhow, I uploaded some pictures from my REAL camera today along with some videos. 

Back in May, I made some cornstarch sidewalk chalk.  The boys have fun for about 10 minutes, so not really worth the effort.  Probably better to just buy sidewalk chalk and let the boys have fun.  Funny, every time I go to Smith's to buy the sidewalk chalk, Edward doesn't want it.

 

Then my parents came and helped us build the play set.  Nolen was my very best helper. He was outside helping the whole time (except when he was taking a nap).  He even grabbed the screw driver and tried to help.  SO cute!

 

My Mom used the boxes to make a puppet show and a huge cardboard boat.  The boys LOVED it!

 

 

 

Swimming time!!

I live for summer! I absolutely love every moment of summer. I love to plant my garden and watch it grow. I love to sit on the patio and read a book while the boys play outside. I especially love to swim. I sure hope my boys will learn to love the water as much as I do!
