Swimsuits!

~~This post will remain at the top of my blog all spring and summer. Scroll down to see other posts.~~

Anyone need a modest swimsuit this summer? I can help with that!

Look at how happy these modest children are! And guess what? Nobody drowned! Modest swimsuits are perfectly safe!

We've worn these in public pools with no problems. Though a few people were a little curious, most were very polite. We're kinda used to that though, eight girls in dresses (plus three bros, not in dresses) can't go many places without looking a little out-of-the-ordinary.

 Please stop by my website for pricing and styles.

Directing was a community effort.
The previous chicken pox carrier is unknown but credited here, for credit is due. (In the event that they step forward with their name, address, phone number, date of birth, and their lawyer's contact information their name will be added to these credits.)
The added faux pox are curtesy of Retro Red Lipstick. (We do have both the authentic and the faux, but the camera didn't pick them up.)

Yes, we've had the chicken pox this month. Thankfully we are all over it except Kate (yellow shirt) and I (pink floral top and pony tail).

I hope you get a good laugh or at least a small chuckle out of this. After you watch ours go to YouTube and check out the homeschooler version, not by us.

Water fight!
This week mom picked up several water squirters as a surprise from the Dollar Store. There was a momentary stampede when she brought them home with everyone dashing madly about grabbing their swimsuits and helping the little ones with theirs. Then they _____ *searching for the right adjective here, need something to describe the "woosh"ing noise they made* out the door.

I followed at a safe distance with my camera for your benefit...

Her look of determination is quite impressive, isn't it?

This plastic t-ball stand divides the yard into
TWO zones. For TWO teams. With TWO water buckets.


Though I never heard the rules officially stated, the apparent goal of the game was to bombard the opposing team with water as hard and fast as possible while making occasional mad dashes through their territory to refill from their bucket.

The dashing process is demonstrated for us here,


And the refilling process is demonstrated for us here!

I would love to show you all the pics I took, but I don't think I'll have many readers left afterward if this post takes longer than an hour to load. so.... I shall leave you with those.
