Katie Marie can now dive off the diving board. She is also working on her backstroke and front stroke with side breathing. Doing three things at once (kicking with fast, straight legs, arms that are slow and big and breathing on your side) can be kind of tricky for these little kids, but she's doing pretty good. I'm mostly extremely happy that she can now maneuver her way around the deep end without any trouble. She can also tread water.
Alvin's newest thing is that he likes to eat his feet. Look at how flexible he is!
He is the happiest, sweetest little boy!!! We love to make him giggle. He is also very ticklish.
We love him.
This next picture is kind of becoming a tradition so get ready for a blast from the past. My kids have all fallen asleep in this thing. Here is Alvin.
Here is Katie Marie.
Here is Belinda.
We've had a few lazy days. It's great to be able to get all three kids to sleep at the same time.
One of the most exciting news to report is that Belinda is potty trained!!!! It all started with a moment when she peed on the carpet and we decided it was time. A week, several diarrhea problems, and one exhausted mommy later and Belinda is now a pro.
If you ever want a fun idea for a Family Home Evening activity here's one that the kids will love without fail and will probably be one they ask to do over and over again. 1. Get a cup of flour and pack it and tip it upside down (like your making a sand castle). 2. Then stick a cleaned penny on top. 3. Take turns cutting away at the flour with a butter knife until the penny drops into the flour. 4. Whoever made the penny drop has to pick the penny up with their mouth.
Our summer fun is definitely not over yet.

I like the picture of Alvin eating his toes. My hubby says that I'm to blame for my kids doing that, yet I still tell him they would eventually learn it on their own :)
