Adventures in Kids continues...

Kristen brought Haley, Cameron, and Mackenna over for swimming yesterday. We bought water wings for them from the store a while back, but never used them. Haley is doing pretty well swimming. She tried without her floaties for just a bit, but got nervous and put them on. Cameron was nervous for a long time, and just wanted to be held...no problemo for me. Eventually, he started to swim a little and he was jumping in the pool and swimming to me. Chas kept Mackenna happy. She did not like her floaties and just stayed around the steps. Chas also became a toe eating monster...he ate ALL of my toes several times over!!! It seems like we got out just in time. After we came back to the apartment and changed, Kenna was acting up and I had a headache...my sinuses and the pressure from the pool...so Kris took the kids home, and just as they were leaving, it began to downpour. Pooped, Chas and I decided to lie down for a short while, and we listened to the storm outside. Then we woke up about 10:30 and decided we didn't want to make dinner, so we went to IHOP. Was fairly crowded for that time of night, but we got yummy food and pretty good service. I was surprised to see as many kids there as there was. We came home and watched part of the MST3K of the day, "The Screaming Skull" but got too tired to finish, and I went back to bed.

Today, I think we will have to buckle down and do laundry and groceries, and other such domestic duties. I've put this stuff off far too long now.

I hope you're enjoying Ireland...
