Week 23 Summary

Another week gone!  Not much to say this week.  The kids are done with school and when they aren't playing nicely with each other, they are trying to kill each other.  I can feel my hair turning gray as I type this.  What hair I have left, that is.  :)  But, hey, only about 75 more days until school starts again, right?

We bought a slip and slide the other day at Walmart for five bucks and broke it in today. The kids had a blast with it.  Too bad the sun was so bright and casting some harsh shadows (not complaining about the gorgeous weather though!).  Even in PSE I couldn't do much with this.  But you can still see the joy on Alex's face!

If today was any indication of what our summer is going to be like, this little guy will be spending his days splashing in the pool.  In fact, I might just join him!  :)  It was HOT!
