Prior to Papa and Nana leaving on Thursday I was inflating the kids' pool. It seemed to be taking forever so Jeremy helped my with using the air compressor. Once we got it filled we headed to the backyard. We did not get far before it lost everything. Apparently the little gray furry creatures aka mice that used our garage as a home over winter decided it would be funny to put a hole in the pool. Luckily we have some patching supplies and Jeremy was able to patch the hole. After filling it a second time we were ready for water. I filled it quickly Thursday night, which was good cause some major storms hit here during the night. So Friday marked the official first swim of the summer for the kids. It was an overcast day but really warm. The water did not warm up as much as I had hope but the kids never noticed.
Zach be careful don't fall out... 
Alex trying not to shiver...
Liz entertaining us with her impression of a squirrel...
The kids decided to get out and it was a good decision cause they were shivering pretty bad at that point. To make things a little easier I stripped them outside and wrapped them in towels. We headed for the house. Once we were in the towels came off. The boys decided it would be fun to pretend to weed whack and Liz went for the toy edger. Liz being the modest one of the three, she kept her towel half on...
Alex used good placement of the toy...
as did Zach!
Saturday I worked in the morning. Once I got home Jeremy was able to continue on one last project before returning to the workforce on Monday...the kids' sandbox. He was able to get it completed and put into the playyard by the end of the weekend. He filled it tonight with sand, so tomorrow will be an exciting day in the playyard...don't worry pictures will be taken...lol! The kids have one heck of a sandbox! 
Sunday was Father's Day. Jeremy spent the morning with the kids as I did the grocery shopping. Once I got home he was able finish up the sandbox. He took a break once the kids woke from their naps. They got him a couple "dad" t-shirts as well as beer tappers and some cologne. But the best present was the picture and poem. I wrote up the following poem:
We love to wear your shoes Daddy,
As you can clearly see.
Pretending we’re as big as you,
For soon that day will be.
We hope to be like you someday,
Strong, Patient, full of love.
You’re the greatest Dad on earth,
With quite the shoes to fill.
And then put this picture below it...
Let me just say with the reaction we got...I think I did good. Jeremy is such a good daddy! We love him so much! There were individual pictures taken too that went into a different frame as well as a few out takes. Here is another group pictures.
We have been enjoying the pool since we filled it. Today we had fresh water and more of it. Lexi joined us today. Today I said forget the swimsuits and just went with swim diapers.
After Liz found my sunglasses and started hamming it up.
After a quick snack and juice, it was back to playing and waiting for daddy to get home from his first day at his new job. So what better way to play then everyone sharing the cart. The only thing wrong with this picture is that Zach is in the cart and we'd prefer no one in the cart...we have seen it tip too many times.
Tomorrow is suppose to be extremely warm, so we are hoping to get outside in the morning. Lexi will be joining us, so we should get some good pictures of them in the new sandbox...something to look forward to in next week's post.Love, Jen
