Now They Play Wii!



Wow. The day has come where the girls understand how to play Wii! Giovanna now asks to play her video games. Kids are so smart these days! I'm a bit partial, but think it's too cute watching them shake their tushies! They're playing Just Dance Kids in the video.

Our New Pool!



We are soooooooooooooo excited about our new pool. It's just a kiddie pool, but it is AWESOME for our girls. This weekiend, the girls and I went to Wisconsin to visit some friends we haven't seen in a long time. They had this pool and the girls had so much fun jumping into and swimming in the pool. I knew we had to get one. Only problem, there are no pools like this ANYWHERE! Luckily, Joe recognized this pool at our babysitter's house, so he asked her where she bought it. She told him, but knew there aren't any left. She just so happened to have an extra one still in the box in her garage and Joe told her, SOLD!


In the video, Giuliana does not fall in the beginning. She was going to "swim" but mid-motion decided not to because the water was too cold to put her shoulders under. (I know because it was chilly last night, and she did this a few times before I grabbed the camera)! Also, Giovanna is yelling "CANNONBALL!" when she is doing her version of a cannonball.

SUMMER!

We really are having a fantastic summer! This weekend alone, we had our last swim class and on Sunday I took the girls to the beach for the first time! What a blast! Thankfully Jack and Brenda were with me to help with the girls and all of our gear.


When we arrived at the beach, we were exhausted from lugging all of our stuff, so Jack and I decided to just plop down right there where we were having our discussion about how hot and tired we were of lugging the crap! Brenda even volunteered to leave her chair behind next time! Then, as luck would have it, walking down the beach are my cousins! Frank, Rosemary, Nina, Natalie, and Frankie! We ended up spending the afternoon with them. It felt like vacation, and the girls loved the water and the sand. I definitely want to go again before the summer ends.


This is Giovanna's idea of helping Daddy wash the car!


We bought this float for "Flick & Float" at the pool, but there
was lightening that night, so we couldn't go in the water. So,
one evening I set up our bitty pool in the back yard and the
girls "floated" in the grass!



You can see the girls have very different
approaches to getting the basketball in the basket!


This summer we discovered our family LOVES
DRUMSTICKS!



Weren't those the days? When this was ok and cute!




Auntie Loda arranged a surprise delivery for the girls.
It came today so now we're ready for DA BEARS!
