it was a hot one today! we went to the gym first thing in the morning and then met our friends, gianna and kenadee, at island park to go swimming! rex loved the water - he had no fear. at one point, he was out in the middle and went under. and couldn't get back up! he kept trying and falling back under. it felt like it went on for a half hour, it was probably 30 seconds. jamie got to him first and got him on his feet. he was totally fine! a little stunned, but no crying or anything! malloy loved the water as well. she was trying her hardest to float with gianna, but didn't have the puddle jumper on that gianna did! she wanted one so bad, and after rex's incident, i decided that puddle jumpers wouldn't be a bad idea! so, we went out after nap, ran a few errands, and got the kids each a puddle jumper! it's back to the pool again tomorrow!

sidebar: malloy has been going to bed late every night for quite a while now. usually not until 9 or 9:30. we say goodnight and then the kids chat and sing for a bit. i know rex would go right to sleep without malloy's shenanigans! but he plays for a bit and then goes to sleep. malloy stays up, sometimes being really quiet and then an hour or and hour and a half later, she calls out that she has to go potty. i'd just really like her to go to bed!!!! i tried waking them up early from nap so that they'd go to bed early. rex fell asleep earlier but malloy really didn't. maybe about 10 minutes before 9.

really wish this wasn't blurry! we went through the carwash for the first time today. i thought the kids would LOVE it! especially rex! but it freaked him out even though i was explaining everything that was happening.

a little nervous
