Well, Sunday ended up being a great day for me and the kids. We went over to my parents for a cookout and then my dad put up the swimming pool. Unfortunatly, he will have to drain the pool and move it to a different area on his large deck. It will probably take another five hours to fill the pool up and such too but it looks like this pool is a winner with the kids. My dad got in the pool with the kids since it was my time of the month again and I can not sit in the pool and boy was I cramping up. So he got to have fun with them and it was really cute too. They loved to splash him and well, I wasnt really dry either, even though I was not in the pool...lol. They all had a blast with grandpa and it was neat seeing them have a fun time, till they started shivering and I felt it was time for them to get out. I also had to take care of the rest of my laundry too. Luckily, my parents are helping me out with that this month too because I usually have to pay 1.25 per load for each of the washer and dryer. It gets expensive if u have three loads of laundry to do.
Anyhow, we were all really tired by the time we left. Jacob wanted to catch some lightning bugs just like he and sammy did a few nights ago but we had to get home as it was already past 9pm. And within just a few min time, Jake was sleeping soundly in the car as we made our way home. I had to carry him to the door of our apartment, too, which was like one flight of stairs to the second floor....Sammy however, was awake because unlike her brother, she did take a nap during the day. She walked up the stairs on her own and such, while I carried Jake to the apartment door. Sammy sat down to color at the little red table, when we got into the apartment and I put jake to bed. Then I went to get Sammy and tuck her into bed. I always have a hard time putting her to bed it seems, though. She would rather get up and play or wander thru the apartment. So I read a book to her from one of the Berenstain Bears books. She likes to point at the pictures in the books and ask "What's that?". Its always so cute. She is very talkative these days for being just two.
If there is one thing I have noticed about my kids and what they are good at is that they just love being kids. Jake I believe may be a runner; just like his daddy was and sammy, I think she may be a soccer player actually; she loves to play with play balls and kick them everywhere. And well, they both love to color too and they are getting really good at it. But I will just stay with the fact that they are kids being kids and they enjoy being just that.
