Weekend Adventures

These pictures are from Tuesday evening. We were all playing in the backyard, the girls and I in the pool. Before I got it I took a bazallion pictures of the girls and this has got to be the funniest sequence ever...

"Watch this, I'm going to make a huge splash!"
"YYYAAWWW!"

"Ker-Slash!"

"Holy shit!"

"Not happy, Mom"

Hilarious, right?!?

Nathan is so freakishly handy it's amazing. When it started getting hot this summer Nathan bought some cheap-o clip on fans and re-wired them so we could plug them in the cigarette lighters in the cars and keep Jane cooler (rear-facing car seats are brutal in the summer as the AC doesn't blow on her). A month or so ago he re-wired them so they could plug into the car cigarette lighter or into the light outlets in our pop-up trailer and keep the kiddos cool for naps/bed.

Yesterday he re-wired them again for the stroller on the way to the zoo. He wired them to 2 six volt batteries each and thus, fans in the stroller! It was amazing. The girls were so comfortable Jane's back was barely even sweaty when I picked her up at noon to drink her bottle! That's amazing considering it was 105 +. And, because the girls were comfortable, I wasn't being a lunatic worrying about them and was able to relax and have a great time too! Can't tell you how much I love my handyman.

We had a great time, Katherine was a nut in the aquarium running all over the place - she LOVED all the fish. Jane seemed to like them too.

They had tiger pups, only 3 months old. Katherine was cracking up as they'd tackle each other and flip all over the place.

We had a great weekend, couldn't have gone any better.
