Summer Fun...well at least for a few days


Last weekend was gorgeous.  Mid-80's, summer is here!  Well, no sooner than I packed up all the kid's clothes did this week of bad weather arrive.  Thunder and lighting all weekend.  So the pictures are from last weekend, not so many picture opportunities from Memorial Day.  We still spent a lot of time at the pool - outside pool opened, but only spent about 15 minutes out there until the rain came.  Zoe's getting braver and now goes down the intermediate slide, still won't put her head under water and is very confrontational with the kids that turn on the water fountains that spray her in the face. It's actually hilarious and I would love to get it on video.  I wouldn't even need to be close enough to hear what she's saying, her body mannerisms are very clear, lots of feet stomping, arm crossing, sometimes sitting on the ground & crying...  

Totally random subject, for all of those who have bought Kellan legos, don't fear your money wasn't well spent.  Since Christmas he spends hours a day doing legos.  He went through building his own creations for a month, but is back on track with creating everything over again from scratch.  Jim and I spend hours helping him find pieces.  If he's not at school or the pool these days he's in his room 5-6 hours a day doing legos.  Zoe knows how to get to him when she's mad at him or he's teasing her - she still bites him unfortunately, but realizes that breaking a recently completed structure into hundreds of pieces will also make him cry - hard.  

There's been a lot of Dexter talk these last few weeks.  Maybe it's because he's obviously on his way. I need to start writing down some of the things the kids say/ask.  They're very curious if he will look like them.  If he will like Disneyland - I'm sure he'll be disinherited if he doesn't.  We're still completely avoiding the question of how he's born.  They want to dress him, feed him, bathe him. I hope the novelty doesn't wear off before he gets here, it's looking like he may not need Jim or I.  Of course at this moment I can't think of anything funny...maybe the next post...

Hang in there papa Frankie - close to Kellan's heart and in his everyday strive to walk better/run faster, is the pride you gave him in telling him he taught you how to walk again.  There's nothing he's more proud of - keep it up.  

PS - maybe I'll get a video of Kellan when he doesn't say "poop".  My goal is to only film them once in any situation (as you can tell by the previously posted videos)- with that said, "poop" will most likely always be mentioned in the video, no editing done here.  Not the best video and I really have no idea what Zoe is saying, but I don't think anyone will care - you get a sense of the screaming that Jim loves.
