Waterlogged

Today was a relaxing day with the kids. Everyone was up by 8 am...and after a game of Hide-and-Seek, everyone (except for Barrett who was down for a nap) was in the pool by 9 am! The girls and Brody swam until Barrett woke up from his nap. Then we loaded up in the car and headed to Wal-Mart. The girls thought it was nice that it only took 5 minutes to get there rather than the 30-45 it takes in KS.


At Wal-Mart I let the kids pick out a few toys to play with in the pool and we got a few groceries. When we got home the kids immediately started begging to swim again. They swam while I made lunch and then we all ate outside by the pool.

We ended up swimming until Brody's nap time (don't worry...we reapplied sunscreen). The girls reluctantly got out of the pool after HOURS of swimming...but only because I promised to let them watch a movie.

While the boys napped, the girls watched a movie and then we played Clue. By the time the game of Clue was over (during which we found out that some players, who will remain nameless, are not good losers) it was time to get ready for VBS.

It was another exciting evening of VBS. The kids were hyper on the ride home and didn't get to bed until late (10 pm)!

We're all excited for a big day tomorrow. We'll fill you in with pictures (hopefully) and stories tomorrow night!

Do you have earplugs Staci? Because I heard the volume in the car and thought, wow!
You are a dear for having them, don't forget to use your stern mommy voice if you need to settle them down! I know one girl who can get sky high hyper!

You don't have to mention names on the poor losers- I know exactly who she is, and if you can teach her how to lose graciously you deserve some kind of award (she must get it from her dad).
Sounds like everyone's still having fun- I dreamed last night that you called and asked me to come take them home!!!
