My Kids......ya' gotta love them!! 8-11-08

We had a wonderful day!! The weather could not have been any better!! I bet it never got over 80 all day! The sun was out...NO HUMIDITY (so nice). The boys wanted to go to the pool today, so we waited around until about 12ish to go (it seemed a little cold to swim, but they didn't seem to think so). While the kids were playing inside this morning - I decided to rearrange the back patio (ya know since there is just soooo much room on our little patio). I pulled everything out...the boys and I swept the patio off, and I notice SPIDERS!!! I ran inside...grabbed the Krud Cutter (I know....but it was all I could find)...ran back outside and began to spray the grill cover the patio..and anywhere else I could see a spider. My sweet little 3 year old looked up at me and said, "Mommy, why are you spraying that everywhere out here?" I told him it was b/c I don't like spiders - and he said, "You know what God says about killing people - he is not happy now - you have really done it now!!!" He was very upset!! I explained the difference in bugs and people, and I think he was even more confused!! His little mind works overtime!!

We finished putting everything back on the patio...and don't you know...the guys came by and MOWED right by the patio!! And guess what is all over the patio AGAIN...GRASS!!!

We enjoyed a couple of hours at the pool today...the boys loved playing the COLD WATER...I decided I would watch from the side. There were a few other younger girls out there laying out, but my kids were the only ones in the pool. They love eating lunch at the pool, so I packed our lunch to enjoy a little picnic by the pool! Barrett said he needed my sunglasses to help get the sun out of his eyes....I put my sunglasses on this afternoon ---- finger prints and dried food all over them!! I love it!!



Well, as mentioned in previous posts...we are working on teaching the boys to pick-up whatever they get out. Today, Barrett wanted to bring the water basketball goal - I told him that would be fine, but he would need to carry it to and from the pool.

He said he would...and he did --- I love this picture:


We looked at several houses tonight with a great realtor, and the boys did pretty good with the first couple...by the last two, Barrett had become Best Friends with our realtor. He knows more about our realtor than we do -- Barrett kept asking him question after question!! The realtor didn't seem to mind - he just laughed at him!! I was to embarrassed to ask him for a picture with Barrett for my blog, so sorry - I don't have any with Barrett's latest friend!!
