Tuesday and Friday mornings are really exciting around our house. At approximately 7:15 a.m. on those two days, the garbage truck comes. We hear it when it’s on the street behind ours, and the excitement starts to build. By the time it gets to our street, the boys are bursting with excitement. I wonder what the garbage men think about the two pajama clad boys that are always outside watching them and waving to them. Today, the driver and both men waved back. It was a good day.

I was having some issues logging into my blog to post, but luckily super genius Derek fixed it for me. Last week, Derek had a conference down in Galveston, so the boys and I got to take advantage of the fancy schmancy pool at the San Luis Resort. James and Kathy even watched the kids one night and I got to stay with Derek. I considered staying with the kids overnight, but then I remembered how little we all sleep when crammed into one room together, so I came home every night. When I got to the hotel for the first time, Derek said “hey Megan, the room has robes for you to use. You love when hotels have robes.” Um, honey…I’ve never stayed in a hotel that has robes. I am not used to living in the lap of luxury like Dr. Thurman! He has definitely been spoiled since starting his real job. They treat their employees really great on trips!
Anyway, the fancy pool. It was fabulous. Heated to the perfect temperature, a hot tub, a warm tub with a cascading waterfall, and our very favorite thing…a water slide! Oh, how I loved the water slide! By the end of our second day swimming, even Logan was going down the slide alone! And let me tell you, it was fast. Check out Derek and Logan coming down together…
The boys love to swim, and I can’t wait for the summer swimming we are going to do! Logan is a total fish. He does everything Connor does. We are going to have a blast this summer. (Annalee, will you come swim with us since you love to swim more than any other person I know?)
As usual, Connor expressed himself with costume. He wore the goggles the entire time we were there. I love that he cares not a single bit that he looks like a huge dork! I’m not trying to be mean…honestly, look at him! He is so cute and such an individual.
One more of the cutie Logan Bug.
What a fun post! I’m glad you were finally able to post, I’ve been wondering about you!! That pool looks amazing! Did you get to wear one of the robes this time??
The pictures of them watching the trash men is great!!!
i am so jealous of the swimming!! especially with the randomly cold weekend everyone had!
i am SO jealous you went swimming and in such a fabulous pool. everyday when i walk past our apt pool on my walk i imagine that it is warm enough and i am going to jump on in. i have been doing this pretty much since november. so far it hasn’t happened yet… but hopefully it won’t be much longer! and please let connor know that i totally support the goggle habit. i even brought mine on our honeymoon. tell connor i will come swim with him this summer and we can both be goggle-eyes!
I used to love watching the trash men too! I’m not quite sure why….
Its too bad they don’t have people manning the cabooses of trains anymore. I used to love waving to them too – Connor and Logan would have LOVED that.
My dad always gives a Christmas present (some money) to their trashmen. I bet your boys would LOVE doing something like that this year!
oh my gosh- that slide is the coolest thing! Lets go there when we come to see you this summer 🙂
Love the fancy robes!! What a luxury for the wife of a Dr.!!!
