{insta-friday.....on saturday....6/30}

insta-friday used to be the only blog post i ever got done regularly and now i'm struggling. my friday's have been really busy lately i guess. :)

this week involved lots and lots and lots and lots of swimming. the middles are in swim lessons and in the summer the classes are twice a week for a half and hour instead of once a week for 45 minutes. add to that summer swimming and i'm not sure one bathing suit is going to last the whole summer!

last friday we went to the beach for a while in the am.

last friday night i participated in the realy for life with work. it was fun and for a great cause. i was only there for a little while but i managed to get 4 miles in. :)

this was so cool. they spelled out hope with luminerie bags on the bleachers. :)

isn't he the sweetest?

we had a triple birthday party last weekend. pool party at the Y!

i was starting weight watchers again on monday so my love went out on sunday night for a last ice cream run. coffee icecream with caramel and heath thank you very much! she sent me this pic. she's adorbs.

is it wrong that i made asked the kids to rub my feet this week? i typically hate my feet being rubbed but i needed it this week. plus, isn't that what kids are for?! ;)

we had some thunder storms on tuesday that caused chloe's swim lesson to get cut short.

it was ian's first day of lessons ever. he loved it and did a great job! :)

empty pool once the storms started....

these might just be the best damn part of summer.

we did some more swimming on thursday as well. :)

LOVE her!

i got a new dress. i looooove it.

someone was sleepy after all that swimming!

these? these are amazing. and only 4 WW points for 14 of them. they are mini in size but not on flavor. ;)

{play simon says....summer bucket list 2012}

you may know that our family is participating in the {summer bucket list} challenge over at {the happy family movement}.  well we checked some stuff off this week!

last night we went outside to cook some smores in the yard.  we did it last year and the kids loved it.  it's also on our summer bucket list for this year.  while we were waiting for lisa to get the fire going, we played a fun game of simon says. 

i was simon first.  :)
also, who doesn't play simon says and make s'mores in their jammies?!

simon says touch your nose!

simon says pat your head....now pat your belly!

(ian didn't quite get it!)

simon says kick your feet!

simon says jump up and down!

then bailey was simon and i played along....

simon says spin around!

then he said simon says anyone under 32 do a cartwheel! god bless him. his next simon says, jump up and down as many times as your age. and i'm out. lol.

chloe took a turn being simon too.

aren't they cute?!
