Backyard Splashing

We had a kind of lazy morning at home, eating cereal and just hanging out… Eventually, Jeff and Addie ran to Walmart to pickup our grocery order, and when they got back, and we got the groceries put away, all four of us went to the library together.

Afterwards, I made chicken nuggets for lunch at home, and we worked on a few chores around the house. We actually let Addison stay awake and skip her nap time too. Then we got out our little backyard blowup pool for the first time this summer! We only filled it up a little bit instead of all the way, but the water was cold and refreshing, and the girls and I had so much fun splashing around for a couple of hours together!

I read approximately one chapter before they were splashing me again, so this picture was really just for the picture, not so much for the actual reading 😁

But like all the other Swifties today, we were streaming Taylor Swift’s debut album, in honor of her owning all of her own music now! And some of these songs were quite a blast from the past, having not heard them in years!

We took a bottle of baby shampoo out into the little blowup pool with us, and so we all washed off the sunscreen and got cleaned up, and we washed the little girls’ hairs. After getting dried off and warmed up, we put both girls in their jammies and ordered Chinese takeout for dinner. Jeff did a few more chores outside, and I washed up some dishes, and then he went to pick up the food. We started watching a cute movie on Disney (I think?) called “A Dog’s Way Home,” and watched about an hour of it, before myself and the girls were all falling asleep on the couch. Then all we had to do was carry the sleepy girls to their beds later, and bedtime was as smooth as ever.

I’m going to put my little sticker-wrap-things on my nails now, which won’t take long and requires no drying time, and then I’m sure I’ll fall back asleep very quickly.
