The kids love being together. They spend a bunch of time together laughing and playing and giggling. Andrew simply adores his older sister. Eva likes to help Andrew whenever she can, and sometimes when she can’t. She tries though.
We got a pool.
Allison picked up this pool and today we blew it up and filled it. It is small but it works well for the kids and us just to cool off. It was quite cold but it worked out great for me because I finally cooled down after a super hot day. The kids loved it as well. They had so much fun playing in the pool. It is definitely going to get some use this summer.
Andrew has been cracking us up lately. His favorite word is cookie, which he called cook-ah for a long time. Now it sounds much more like cookie. His newest word is why, which he says often. He can say it over and over and when you finally give him a final answer he says sweetly, “okay”.
We had dinner outside tonight. Haddock for the kids and Swordfish for Allison and me. It was a great night to have dinner outside. I had just put in the new air conditioner and was drenched in sweat. So, being outside was actually cooler than it was in the house. Now, hopefully we’ll have a cooler first floor for the rest of the summer.
