• May. 29, 2007 - Memorial Day Weekend

It's been a while since I updated the blog and I'm starting to get complaints! We had a nice long weekend here. Weather was great and we were both productive and had some relaxation time (if taking 6 kids to 2 pools in 1 day is relaxing). Saturday was much more relaxing for me than for Colin. I slept and nursed Gentry most of the day getting up in early evening to help Colin and do some housework. Sunday we went only to 1 church service (we normally have worship and Sunday school but our new class won't start for a few more weeks) and then came home, made lunch, washed the dog, cleaned the kitchen, painted trim from the boys room, and Colin put the wire on top of the chicken enclosure! On Monday my Mother invited us out to her house to swim at the local pools. We ate lunch and swam at one with my sis, BIL, and her 2 boys and then went to the other pool where they have a water slide and it's a bit more kid friendly. We stayed for about 5 hours! Lucas was exhausted and Gentry nursed twice, sleeping in his car seat travel system the whole time! I did well covering everyone with sunscreen, by myself.... so I'm looking a bit copper now. I don't really "burn" so to speak, I get a bit pink and then I turn brown. I'm a shade darker than I was yesterday morning! Things that happened at the pool: Katelyn copied the rest of us dunking our head by throwing her legs out in front of her... then realizing she can't swim and finally got her feet back under her, cute because she was in no danger of drowning. Arthur passed a swimming test so that he can go down the water slide, that's a new rule this year. Solomon jumped into water over his head, letting me help him to wear he could touch. Abagail learned that she can in fact swim underwater without drowning. Lucas discovered the joy of a swimsuit with an inner tube attached, that he can "swim" without attaching himself to me like velcro! Gentry... wait, I don't think he even knew we were AT the pool! I survived the pool for the first time with 6 kids and Colin survived the pool, that always wears him out. Anyway, these are the pics I gotten from my mom thus far (I got floats, toys, and all children, didn't think about the camera). Lucas, chilling, I mean warming up after a long day of swimming Abagail and a borrowed diving toy
