Thanks to everyone who has commented on my posts. It's so much fun to know that you all are reading my sometimes meaningless writing.
It's been a few days since I've posted and I've found that my blog roll does not update to see who has posted something new unless I post myself.
We've been busy with swim lessons - at the pool everyday. All of us have extreme tan lines. I've gone through three bottles of SPF 45 on everyone, but we're still getting a lot of sun. You all at sea level may not know, but the sun is more intense the closer your are to it :). It's been in the nineties for almost two weeks, which feels like triple digits.
When I was young, I used to go to the beach as much as possible and lay out with baby oil on my skin then douse myself with aloe at night. I recently had a phone call from my brother in Germany and he reminded me that I used to ditch school and have him ditch with me just so I could go to the beach and not get in trouble for it. Those days are long gone. I fight for the shade now. I would never have dreamed of using SPF 45 then. Hopefully, I won't pay for my baby oil days.
This post is a bit of a ramble. I've planned quite a few posts, but don't have time to put them together the way I'd like so, here's what I'm thinking...We watched an absolutely beautiful movie tonight called "Miss Potter". It's a lovely movie about the life of Beatrix Potter. I'd like to put a review up and suggest all who haven't seen it to Netflix it (or whatever you do) today.
I've also got a ton of fun pictures from our swimming days over the last two weeks and I can't wait to share them...Then, someone gave me this great idea to share some of the things that children say to each other. Example: A couple of weeks ago I had a very good friend over that I hadn't seen in years. Our children had never met and, as usual, I gave all the kids a lecture about being on the best behavior and being good examples. Ryan then inquires of my friend's youngest daughter, "May I know your name?" I think if I start a roll on the things children say to each other, Ryan will be on the list most often.
Look forward to the upcoming posts.

Everywhere I go people comment on my tan or the kids'. It makes me laugh. I use high spfs on all of us too...but we have a pool. So we are out in it all day...
I still love the sun and the water...
