Saturday night swim

Sunday, August 5, 2012

One of our most favorite ways to spend a Saturday evening is at the pool. 
No matter how much we scrub, we cannot seem to erase the summer from the boys feet. 
A couple of hours in the pool takes care of that. 
After we are done everyone hops in the showers (no arguments to be had - you see, when children turn a certain age they seem to think that they never need a shower). 
We change the wee ones right into their p.j.'s and home we head, tuckered out, nice and squeaky clean, all ready for Sunday morning and fresh church clothes. 
Oh, yes! And sometimes if we are really lucky dad will buy a little treat from the vending machine. 





 ready for bed!

Nya, playing her new favorite game - She pretends that she is the mom, and I get to be the child. 
She particularly likes it when I throw a big ol' tantrum. Makes her giggle every time.
