Carlie and Blaine
He loves her so much, he gave her lots of kisses that day :)
These pictures were taken on Monday afternoon when my cousin CleAnn and her little boy Blaine came to swim with us. The kids just love to have someone to swim with and even though we don't live that far from The Browns', we don't get to see them all that often, so this was a good time to catch up for everybody :)
Speaking of catching up, I will do a little now. Monday I did some school work then me and Makena went to town to run some errands while Trey and Carlie stayed with Nanny. They helped her clean out her bathroom and came home with TONS of stuff!! Face masks, lotions, shampoo...just a lot of stuff (just what we needed); thanks Mom!! So after we got back home we ate lunch and then went back over to Mom and Dad's to swim. The rest of the day was pretty much spent indoors, recuperating from being out in the sun ALL afternoon. Thankfully, everybody was able to sleep well that night!
Yesterday was one of the most stressful days I have had in a LONG time. I waited until the last minute to work on my part of a group project for school and so I spent about 5 or 6 hours doing it. I was able to work about 2 1/2 of those hours while the kids were asleep :) On top of all of that, one of my labs online wouldn't let me sign in so I spent about 45 minutes chatting with technical support, finally she did what I asked her to do, and all was well! I was finally able to wind down at Ladies Bible Study last night.
Today has been 100% easier. I still woke up early to get my work done, but I only had to do my homework online, so it didn't take too long. Again, I got to work in peace while the kids were sleeping. We all went to town to go to the library, eat lunch with Carl, and make a Wal-Mart stop. The kids got lots of good books. It's so funny because Carlie and Makena got Nancy Drew books. I used to read those when I was little. I LOVED mystery books when I was younger. Now I mostly read Christian fiction (love Karen Kingsbury) but lately I don't have time to read anything on my own :( Carl used to get aggravated because when I would start a book, I would usually finish it that day, meaning I didn't get anything else done. The love of books is an awesome thing and I'm glad that I've passed along the passion to read to my kids.
Of course we went swimming again today, but not for as long because we had church tonight.
I guess that's it, that's my catching up. Hope I didn't bore you too bad.
Happy Hump Day, Friends!
