Pool, Pool, Pool

I'm going to have to come up with some more original names for pool postings. I can tell already that this is what we will be doing a lot of this summer! It has been hot here, hotter than Texas believe it or not. We have been under excessive heat warnings for an entire week and cooling off in the pool doesn't even seem possible. By the time we get out there with sunscreen and everything, the water mom has pre-filled the pool with is like the bathtub. Tepid, not refreshing. Oh well, Andrew prefers the warm water anyway.

Action is what I like. Here mom caught me on the move. I love to run and jump (Cannon ball style) into my pool. By the end of the day, a real pool skimmer couldn't even get out all the grass. I also like to practice my kicks. Our grass gets a lot of watering thanks to me.

I don't play in the same pool as Andrew does, he has a tiny pool. But what I like to do is play beauty shop with him. Good thing he's still smaller than I am, I doubt I'll be doing this for very long. Here I am spiking his hair. (Mom's sad, it's starting to lay down now on top unless we give him a bit of water help.)

Check out this video of Andrew. He loves blowing bubbles or playing motor boat. He's putting some extra water in his pool by doing this. I'm still playing beauty shop and doing finger nails with my paint brush and putting on rouge. (Mom never really does this in front of me so she's not quite sure where I have learned these skills even though they are pretend.)


My favorite kiddos. Ainsley likes it when I sing "Ainsley and Andrew, you are my favorite two, and you know that I love you, yes, yes, yes I do." She cracks up and then asks for it again.

Andrew just smiles. He has such a diverse personality. Laid back, introverted, extroverted, and thoughtful. Just like his personalities, he could be a totally different kid when his hair is wet.
