Water

This summer was a HOT one. Lots of days with 90+ degree temperatures. You definitely had to get into some water to avoid melting! Some days it was the pool, some days the sprinkler and slip n slide, some days all of the above. On this particular day, we washed the car, then the girls got a hold of the hose and went bonkers. This was after we'd already spent 3+ hours at the pool and had come home and put on dry clothes. As you can see, they didn't stay dry for long!

We spent LOTS of time at the pool this summer, more than any other summer. We now have two swimmers! It was so nice not having to be in the water with them all the time. Maya picked the swimming up really fast. She also jumps in the deep end, dives to the bottom of 5 feet to do handstands or get dive sticks, does forward and backward rolls and tries to dive in. She's definitely not afraid of the water. Their favorite time though, is when daddy comes in. They LOVE to be thrown and flipped!!

But, the pool closes tomorrow and we haven't been in it since the middle of last week due to cooler weather. Mags starts school tomorrow and can hardly stand herself she is so excited. I can't believe she's actually sleeping right now. I can't believe she's going off to school, but I can't wait! She's SOOOOO ready. She's never expressed any kind of being scared or nervous, only confidence and excitement! I'm ready for a peaceful day without arguing!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh...
