Heat Wave

We are paying for a gorgeous June with a nasty heat wave that won't end! So we have been living in our pool. It's 10 feet wide and 2 1/2 feet deep and perfect for the kids. They love to make whirl pools which is exactly what I did growing up with a Doughboy. And of course Will and I have to jump in to keep wet if we want to be outside. Jade loves it too. She doesn't stop kicking. When I give her a bath its the same thing. Those legs are moving like crazy and its as if she has no control over her body it just spasms. I need to get a video clip because it cracks me up.

Luke is doing well swimming. He loves to go to big pools so he can swim in the deep end and count how long he can hold his breath under water. Cohen is improving too. He hangs on the side most of the time but is getting more confident each day. This is a huge step from last year when he wanted nothing to do with the pool. All he wanted was the hose. Its really important to me to have pool safe kids. Everyone here has pools so hopefully we continue to make progress with Cohen. I am pretty comfortable with Luke being pool safe. At the end of last Summer I dropped him into the middle of the pool to see what he would do and he made it to the side but this summer he goes everywhere on his own.

The other picture is of free Chick Fil A day. They let you pick anything off the menu if you dressed up like a cow. My friend Amy had us over and we made the costumes the day before and then the next day (four moms and a ton of kids) we all showed up together. They do have great customer service and I like their chicken nuggets a lot. The boys request every night to wear their cow shirts. I took off all the black duct tape but they still say "eat mor chikin" on the back.
