Spending our lazy summer days at the neighborhood swimming hole. Our magic hours are between 11:00- 1:30 to swim. We're still in afternoon nap jail- lock down at our house. I'm not complaining as we all need those late afternoon hours of peace & quiet. Miller needs a wind down pause in the busy-ness of his day too. I would say he still needs at least 2 naps per week in order to avoid the grumpys. Other afternoons, he reads or plays with his LeapPad. I even squeeze in a little shut eye on several days of the week. A rested mommy equals a happy home in my book.
My goal is to wear the kiddos out swimming, jumping and splashing. It's working, too! Miller's at the stage where it's convenient to ask a friend to join us. I feel like super mom when I can conquer the world of three kids at our pool. It's a juggling act. The boys do entertain themselves with their own games so I can focus on Eliza Kate. If she's playing, this momma can sit on the steps in peace...yippee! Although, those brief 5 minutes are usually interrupted by a good water gun soaking or the after effects of a cannon ball splash.
This little fishy is cracking us up in the water this year. She likes to play with a "noodle".
A quick phone upload from a pool playdate last week. Miller's in heaven when our block shows up to swim. We are soaking up every last minute with our friends in the hood.

So cute! We spent all morning at our swimming pool, too. Both girls are resting now which is so nice for Mommy!
By the way, I just throw my girls' keds in the washer and dryer when they start looking bad. Works like a charm!
