we went swimming again today at island park. this time with puddle jumpers!! malloy was following gianna around and asking her to show her how to swim. pretty soon, malloy was calling to me to watch her. and she was swimming! kicking her feet and zooming around the pool!! she was beaming! so proud of herself. i was proud of her too!! rex liked his puddle jumper, too! he loved when i'd pull him around while he was floating on his back! we had a picnic lunch and swam a little longer and then i was time to go home! malloy did GREAT leaving the pool when it was time! she was a great listener! hooray! then she had a meltdown in the car because i told her that we weren't going to watch tv when we got home. they were both VERY tired and a bit cranky! they finally settled down in their room and then malloy started calling me. i went in and she asked "mommy, are you sleepy?" then rex pops his head up and asks "mama, are you tired?" they make me laugh!

this is the swing rex requested

waiting for the pool to open

they loved their "chocolate popsicles"  first time having a fudgesicle

after dinner, i got out some food toys and utensils i found in the basement. they had so much fun playing with these!! remind me to just bag up some toys and just slap a bow on them come christmas time! ;)
