We are Back

We have been very busy the past week and a half. The boys and I went to Atlanta to visit my family. We had so much fun!! Gaga, Pop, and Coley took us to the Aquarium on Friday. The boys absolutely loved it. The fish, whales, and other water creatures were beautiful. Jake kept saying, "I can't wait, I can't wait" when we were driving to the aquarium.

We got to see all of our friends and family, but the trip is never long enough. We have so much fun and stay on the go the entire time. Papa and Nanny bought the boys Snow Buddies the movie and they watched it on the DVD player the entire ride home. Wow... what a lifesaver that was for me!!

Here are some pics from the aquarium!!! Jake was like a human tornado the entire time we were there. He was going from fish tank to fish tank. It was great!!

Fun Day with Mommy

The boys and I went to feed the ducks, play in the sand, and to the park on Monday. It was so beautiful outside we all wanted to get out and enjoy it. I am so amazed by them each and every day at how fast they are growing and how fast they are learning and discovering the world around them. I love you Jake and Will!!!

Water Boy

It was a beautiful day outside so after naps I took the boys outside in the backyard to play. We had the power wheel charged, snacks outside, and they each had a sippy cup. I changed Will's diaper, jake went to the potty, and off we went. I opened the back door and let them go and play (yes, our backyard is fenced in). I went into the living room and was putting on my shoes when Jake ran inside and said,

"mama, will is in trouble."

I immediately hopped up and went to check on Will. I did not see him. Jake pointed me in the direction where he was on the side of the house. He was sitting chest deep in water in their kiddie pool while holding his sippy cup up in the air. He was laughing and splashing around in the freezing cold water.

I pulled him out of the pool in all his clothes, shoes, jacket, and sippy cup while he is kicking and screaming wanting to get back in the pool. I took his clothes and everything off and dried him off with a beach towel.

We changed clothes and needless to say I packed them up and took them to the park instead.

Come to find out the pool had been leaning against our house and while it was pouring down rain a few days ago the pool fell down and was filled to the top with water.

I am going to do a quick yard scan before I just let the boys run outside and play. Jake knew better and understood how cold the water was in the pool. Will on the other hand, didn't understand but really just didn't care. He was having the time of his life.
