Ainsley has been bugging us to get a pool since we’ve had many pool play dates this summer. Ryan went and bought one, but it didn’t have a drain and it was a major pain. We had a playdate with the Bliss’s last week and they inflated their water slide park. It sure was easy to get the water out and kept the kids entertained for hours. So, I started looking for one (they are not cheap) and finally broke down and got one. They’ve been having a blast in it! Reggie knocked out his tooth a couple days ago while playing in it…he’s gotten a bit brave. Our foster child was very nervous, but after about 15 minutes was going crazy. Too bad Ryan didn’t put a swim diaper on him….we had a bit of a mess (luckily I was shopping when this unfortunate event happened!). And Ainsley is happy as a clam, “swimming” and flying down the slide.
Brave little guy!
All last week the kids were at vacation bible school. The theme was Pandamania and unlike last year, they LOVED it! They had so much fun and I enjoyed running my errands with our foster child. The last day, Reggie woke up with a sore throat and it took several days for him to be his normal self. It turned into a mild cold. Guess who woke up with it Tuesday, but decided to add a fever to the equation? Yes, Ainsley has been rather grumpy, so we watched a bit of t.v. this week. Her fever was short-lived, although the grumpiness continued, but we were able to go to Six Flags with our good friends the Williams. We got a babysitter for the little ones and enjoyed the water areas, rides and animals. It was a hot day and the kids got completely soaked :o). The day went quick, but all the kids were pooped by the end of the day.
I’ve been planning and packing like crazy to get organized for our departure on tomorrow. Because we have an extra person this year, we have a lot less room in the car, but we packed today and everything is in! A big thanks to my mom who has shopped for us….not bringing food opened up a bunch of space in the car :o).
