Dirty Bathwater

This is what we have been doing. Love summertime!!!!!














All I can say is that we are in for a rude awakening in August when Jonas starts Kindergarten. We have been sleeping in to 8:30. (Before I had babies, I would never have considered 8:30 sleeping in!!) We have been eating a lot of popsicles, ice cream, smoothies, and anything thrown on the grill. We have been catching fireflies, swimming, playing in sprinklers, water tables, and shooting water guns. Bicycling, porch picnics, swinging, and playing in the sandbox have also been a lot of fun.




At the end of the day:


The boys are dirty.

The bath water turns brown.

The boys sleep like rocks.


What more could I ask for?

Just life

It's summertime!

And we have been super busy!! What have we been doing? Well, let's see.. We had a yard sale. It was a lot of work, but I did make a little bit of money and got rid of some junk. However, I am still overrun with baby toys and clothes. Last week, Jonas had VBS and swim lessons. Jonas went to VBS at his grandmother's church. We had swim lessons at FBC. So, needless to say I felt a bit like a chauffeur. I got a glimpse into the future when I am sure I will spend a majority of my time running the kids to all of their activities. In the midst of all this, Jonas had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. He had been taking it for strep throat and had been on it for a week. (By the way, who gets strep in the summer???) He woke up on Tuesday with a horrible rash. I gave him a massive dose of Benadryl and then we made yet another trip to the doctor. He was put on a steroid and can no longer have amoxicillin or any "cillin." He was not contagious(just super itchy)so we continued on with all of our activities. Even though I felt that I needed to make a public service announcement everywhere we went stating "It is an allergic reaction, he is not contagious."

We finished up our week with a Father's Day cookout and some time in the pool. I am amazed at how well Jonas is swimming this summer. He is starting to swim mostly without his floaties. Jacob loves the water too! You have to constantly watch him. He has no fear. He would just jump in by himself if we would let him. It was a fun time with our family celebrating Daddy and Grandaddy. My boys and I are so lucky!!

Well, just some ramblings.... Nothing too exciting-- just life!! But such a sweet life!
