pooltime
(sorry, i forgot my cable at home, so pictures will have to wait until tomorrow)
fun story: trace and jade love the pool. i asked trace how he liked it, he told me that he likes the big pool a lot better than the little pool :). needless to say, between riding bikes, swimming, jumping on the trampoline and going to and fro from various baseball fields, the children are using lots of energy. today i watched them for a bit (this was between 2 and3 o'clock, and 96 miles had been covered by bike, much swimming had occured, and lots of trampolining had happened earlier in the day). i was told to feed them, so i warmed up some chicken, cut up some cheese, put some cherries in a bowl, poured juice equally into two identical sippy cups and called. they came in, sat down at the little picnic table in front of the tv and said nothing while eating. when jade was done, she got up and went into another room. trace fell off the picnic table backwards. it happens, i figured it was intentional and he'd pick himself up. instead, when i looked at him, he had this glazed expression. next time i looked over, he was fast asleep. jade reentered the scene, sat down on the couch with a book and was out within a minute. they were both worn out :).
i will post the first pictures from the big pool tomorrow. unlike jade (who has no fear) trace was not big into jumping in off the side of the pool (jade goes easily off the diving board). but he obviously really enjoyed being out there. i have a feeling they will spend hours upon hours of every day out there this summer!
