Kids in the Pool!

When we left to come to Florida 3 weeks ago, Avery would not put her face in the water even a little bit and Kai would scream if we even tried to hold him in our arms in the pool. Watch this from earlier today!

Avery playing baseball

We went to the batting cages at the putt-putt place, but the balls were coming too fast for the girls. Iain and I pitched a few to them outside of the cages. Here's a great series of Avery ...

Vacation - Sailing and Morgantown, WV

Here are a few pix of our first overnight sailing adventure and trip to Morgantown.

 

 

 

 

 

Have you ever been this cold???

The kids and I went to the pool at the gym today. When we were done, we took showers and Avery was drying off.  When she took off her towel to put her clothes on, she exclaimed very adamantly, "Mommy, I am as cold as a cow in America on the coldest day!!!"

Well, what I SHOULD have done was wrap her back up in her towel to get her warm. But all I could ACTUALLY do was double-over laughing.

What Does the Pig Say?

Apparently, we have a different breed of pigs in Arlington that use language that you may not be accustomed to hearing pigs use.

He was saying the animal sounds tonight, and when I asked him what the pig said, he gave me this little gem.  I have no idea where he learned this, but of course I had to grab the camera to document. =) Hope it cracks you up as much as it did me. (Meanwhile, I'm sure he's thinking, "mom, I just TOLD you what the pig says 2 seconds ago. And 2 seconds before that. Will you stop asking me already???")

Sailing

So after I had so much fun at my sailing lessons last week, we decided to buy a sailing membership where we can sail all summer. Saturday was our first day and here are some of the videos. (Don't worry Grandma and Mim ... the kids are only without life jackets in the moments after we had gotten out of the water and had just put on our dry clothes ... the boat was not actually moving and we had close eyes on all of them). =)

Last Day of Kindergarten for Audrey

Last Friday was Audrey's last day of school.

Audrey put on the dress she wore for the 1st day of school so that we could compare. I could not get her to put her tennis shoes back on, though. She's told us all year that her tennis shoes make her feet hot, and after she learned that last Thursday was the last day of PE, she told us she was never wearing those tennis shoes again. =)

Can you tell a difference?

Also, some pretty bad videography of her coming out of the school for the last time as a kindergartener!
