Lovin Summer!

Once again the kids are having a blast in the pool. They want to get in every day, even on overcast, windy days. It's hard to dissaude them and much faster to let them jump in and get cold than to convince them that they really don't want to be in there in the first place. Apparently I'm already in the "my mum doesn't know anything" category!




Today was actually sunny but the pool is still only 22ºC. In they go, regardless! Teeth are chattering, lips are blue and goosebumps are rampant before they'll take a break and warm up!




It was accessory day here & they tried out their goggles and "diving" masks. They really liked how the masks kept water from going in their noses and wore these most of the time.

Here they go for one of their breaks! The playhouse stays pretty warm so they grab their towels and go lounge in their camping chairs til the shaking subsides.

Lovey

Honey, Lovey & Sweetie, just hangin' :)

Now we're taking it up a notch. Swimming around and doing flips in the water just aren't enough anymore. High jumps it is!

or in Honey's case, the moderate and conservative jump is fine too!



and then she got a little braver!

and then it's SOCCER night, woooooooooohooooooooooo!!!! I wasn't sure if Sweetie would be up to it as she was up sick in the night again last night, poor girl! She was keen & had her shin pads on & ready to go when it was time so we let her try it and she lasted the whole time. (in between her raspberry picking tours where she was showing the other kids where the good patches were)

every week it's a BIG deal to get to wear a pinny, this week 2 out of 3 got to sport these very fine garments!

Honey is a big soccer fan! Look at that form!

(DISCLAIMER: she dressed herself and is unaware that mixing patterns is a faux pas, I tried to explain this to Murray but he didn't get it, so you see, she comes by it honestly ;)))
