3 boys and a baby pool

On Wednesday, Logan had his two best friends over for the day.  I love when Noah and Gabriel come over, even though the boys bicker like brothers!  That’s just because they are so close.  They are Alvin, Simon, and Theodore.  No, really.  They are.  Don’t try to argue with them about it.  They actually call each other by their chipmunk names as much as they use their real names.  And I think it was Noah who once tried to convince his mom that since they are Alvin, Simon, and Theodore that means they are brothers which means they should all live in the same house.  Sounds perfectly logical, right?

I can’t even think about how Logan won’t be in school with them next year.  We live a solid 15 minutes from each of them, so I also can’t think about how they will probably rarely see each other once everyone gets busy with school stuff in the fall.  We will just have to soak up the time this summer.

I kept the boys (plus the girl) busy with a trip to the library, lunch at McDonald’s, and a few minutes of playtime at the park before I wimped out with the heat and the mosquitoes.  While Camryn napped, I really wanted to boys to play outside.  Enter a pool that I have no memory of buying but I found in the shed.  Logan is convinced that Nonny or Mamaw bought it for him.  Who knows.  It doesn’t really matter where it came from.  I’m just glad we had it even if it is sort of small.   It didn’t stop the boys from having so much fun.

see what I mean about them being like brothers?  This is totally something my boys would do to each other.

what on earth is Logan doing here?  I cracked up when I saw this picture.

Then it was time to play the run-and-jump-in game.  Every time, I held my breath that they wouldn’t pop the pool.  It survived.

What a great way to spend a summer day.

  1. It’s amazing how much fun kids can have in a baby pool! Just the fact that it’s wet and cool totally negates the size.
