When the Sun Comes Out....

The clothes come off!

Not for me (thankfully for anyone around)....but for the boys.

The weather was so nice yesterday and the boys were able to swim in the pool. I am trying to get Tubbs motivated and ready for swim practice which starts in a week. He needs to be able to swim 25 yards by himself, and I am a little concerned. He just learned to swim last summer and when he races his brother in the pool he tends to cheat a little. I tried explaining he can't do that at swim practice. We'll see.

The boys also purchased the coveted "3-D shark slip-n-slide" on Friday night...so they were excited to try it out later in the afternoon. It came with a set of goggles which were supposed to turn the shark tunnel into 3-D. Tubbs was digging the goggles and soon the boys were fighting over them. (Big surprise)

Unfortunately, these little water capers usually end the same way---someone is crying and/or injured.

Oh the joys of two rough and tumbly boys.

This time it was Tubbs.

After he went through the slip-n-slide he started to army crawl back the other direction. Here comes Bubba down the slip-n-slide and his knee hit Tubbs in the face, digging the beloved goggles into Tubb's face. So.... he got a nice cut/scratch to add some character to his little mugg.

(Here is Tubbs giving me his best pathetic face)

Bubba surprised Tubbs with an apology letter and a plate full of goodies. (Banana chocolate chip muffins, pop-tarts and granola bars). I think that's Bubba's idea of a well balanced meal.

But it was a very nice gesture! Bubba loves to write letters/notes for people.

All in all, the day was great! (Better for some than others I guess)

I look forward to these lazy days of slathering on sunblock, lounging in the pool, working on projects around the house and taking naps.

Bring on summer!
