Summertime

It was in the 80s today. Warm in the house. The feeling like: "it's a little too hot but you don't care cause you want Summer to come so bad"

I worked from home today and took the kids swimming around 5pm. It was our first real swim of the season. The pool was 83, and felt great. Katie is simply a fish. I keep looking for the gills and webbed feet as she darts around underwater like a seal -- turning, lunging, popping-out and diving in. It makes me really happy to see her having so much fun.

Andy normally loves the water too, but not today. He took a late nap... that means monster-child upon waking up. We got him up at 5 and he basically screamed-crying for pretty much an hour. First it was because he didn't want to wear the Elmo swimsuit I put out for him, then it was because Katie splashed him before he was ready to get in, then it was because the swimsuit he was wearing was too big and he wanted his Elmo suit, then it was because Katie and I got out before he could even get in... yes he spent the whole time crying and missed out on the swimming.

Sorry not photos, was too busy having fun to capture the moment.
