Playing in the Water!

So yeah, Summer it here when the squirt guns come out, the sun block, and new swim suits are bought... 

 Can can you see how my girls swimsuits kind of match... not on purpose... crazy story behind that. 

I went to Costco, one of my favorite places ever, and bought Speedo Swimsuits, size 6 for Sami, 4 for Daphne, got them home, and before I could even try them on them, they cut the tags off and out of the swimsuits... the manufacture tags... so I try them on, Daphne's is too small and Sami's is too small... so I gave Daphne Sami's and bought Sami a new swim suit from Walmart that I made her try on before we bought it... So there both blue because Sami's favorite color is blue and so there ya go! Note to self... buy clothes keep them out of kids reach until I know they fit! 
 Oh, and Daphne is wearing an Ear Bandit. A friend recommended it to me who's son has tubes, I got it off amazon for $15, it's made out of rubber type stuff, same as wet suits, and so it sticks pretty good to the head, it velcro's on, and I put her plugs in and the headband keeps the plugs in and gives extra protection to her ears, she doesn't put her head under the water, but it's only a matter of time. It slips off the ears so I have to keep track of her real good and fix it, she doesn't complain about wearing it, thank goodness, because she has been warned, you don't wear it you can't swim... they had many colors, but pink was the best selection and everyone compliments it! 
 This last week i discovered that sun block expires. And when it's expired it doesn't work too well... I walk around the house now with a back scratcher and have to cool my scratchy back with aloe... it doesn't hurt just itches. During the summers we have been here, we spend a lot of time at the wadding pool. It's Free, and right next to the big public pool. It's deep in the middle and shallow on the ends, you you can sit where ever. 
I have been working out, can you tell? I like this picture it's my crowning achievement my arms... and shoulders... it pays to work out!
 Yeah I gotta say I am one of the only moms from church that comes and has a low cut swim suit... but hey... it's not that revealing so whatever! 
 They always have a life guard in here, and the gates handle is out of reach to the kids, so it's perfect. 

 Each summer I have invested $2.50 each for floaty for the girls... it's well worth the 5 bucks, and I don't have to bring a bunch of little toys... 
Sami's floaty is a toucan and is named "Butter"
Daphne's is a monkey and named "Slinky", they named them! 
An attempt at a group shot... Ezra doesn't like the water as well when I am not in it with him, and so I usually am sitting in the pool, he loves going to the deep part and jumping up and down!
