I waited to get out the slip n slide 'til I had enough energy - not to slide myself, but for the clean up and hastle of it all. It wasn't a big deal at all, I didn't even have to make any rules for the kids. I've been feeling so good since the first trimester is behind me. I'm ready to nest, but not fully until I find out if I'm having a girl or a boy. I can't wait to find out - that's why I'm staying up blogging! I can't sleep. I find out at 9am.
k, back to the slip n slide. My friend Liz and her baby came over, so we got out the slip 'n slide. The kids LOVED it!
This is a horrible picture, but you can see the action:)
Malia does everything w/ craziness. She quickly learned that she could not just slide, but slide and twist and go crazy. Noah and Isaac stayed pretty mellow on it, but still were less fearless than I thought they'd be.
Obviously we went swimming next even though the pool cooled down to just under 80 degrees. By "we" I mean the 3 older kids. Isaac has been since, but Malia, Dylan, and Noah really really swam. I love Malia and Dylan's races accross the pool.
Here's a new reason to get out my camera:) Hi baby Peyton!
He stayed in the shade - a big beach umbrella we poked into our lawn. We're looking into some permanent shade. . .
We cooked turkey hot dogs on the grill. I'm loving summer time!
Then the kids stayed under that umbrella in our yard to eat popsicles (it was a hot hot hot day), then they stayed to play with chalk, etc. Then they used the shade for their caterpillars.
Malia will eventually hatch them into butterflies.
I layed down in that shade with them for a while too. It was such a beautiful day. Lots more to come . . . I plan on being in my swimsuit hiding out in by back yard all summer long:)
