James loves swimming also...but soon his little arms would be full of goose bumps...so we would take him out and wrap in a towel...it never lasted long though...he just kept lunging forward to get back in that pool! I think we are going to have our hands full this summer!
Daddy and James...enjoying some boy time! Lately every time Jon and James are together Elsie will get all excited and tell me "girl time!"...Elsie has a great need for her Mommy/daughter girl time...and she normally chooses to go shopping...so a typical girl!
Jon decided to spoil Elsie a little and told her he would pack some oatmeal cookies for a little snack...and she responded with a no...carrots sounded better! What kind of a kid turns down cookies for carrots!? And just for the record she did eat a long carrot while sitting on the edge of the hot tub...and we brough home all the un-touched cookies...such a goofy girl!
This is what happens lately when I try to take pictures of Elsie...so if you read my blog and think James has been the favored child lately...it isn't so...I just don't want to post pictures of a hand!
I love this picture of James...however I am pretty sure Jon is giving me the "no more pictures" look...I really can't help it...I love pictures and if one is good 10 would be even better!
A little girl who really does not want her picture taken...
Even in the hot tub...no picture! The hot tub is Elsie's favorite place to be...she sits on the top step and just enjoys the warm water! We played catch with a little rubber duck across the hot tub for a while...then after getting good and hot I talked Elsie into jumping into the big pool with me...brrr...talk about cold yet super refreshing!
Jon and I have decided that we need to invest in another floaty before we go swimming again...James wanted in the floaty so badly!
Last picture...She smiles!! At the very end of the afternoon at the pool Elsie asked me to take a picture of her...made my day...so maybe I snapped a couple or maybe even several!
Good afternoon of swimming, tired out kids, good family time, fun...what more could you ask for...
