Well, we survived the week without daddy. It was actually pretty easy. He came home on Wednesday for the day and night, and we were at my mom's house on Thursday. We had Phoebe and Pete and Colleen come over to play on Friday, and we just made it a stress free week. I didn't leave the house after lunch time, and we just took it easy. I made a first attempt at potty training Nate, so we had new things to do (Play Dough, bubbles, new movies) There were a lot of accidents, and no real forward movement towards being potty trained, but we did get over his intense fear of wearing big boy underwear. That was good.
It's been hot, so we've been in the pool. Nate is practicing being a hip teenager with is baggy shorts. Poor skinny boy. Maybe next year when he is 4 these shorts that are a size 24Mos will fit him...
This is what Lizzie does when we are in the pool. That is of course until Nate starts throwing water towards the door, then she retreats.
And on Saturday we took Daddy to the Catoctin Zoo for the first time. It was a hot day, but we survived. The most interesting thing that we saw was that there was a turtle in the alligator pond. We wondered about that for a little while, and then we saw an alligator swim over to it. The picture will tell you what happened next... No! He didn't eat that poor little turtle, but he did try to pull him into the water.
So that is our life right now. It's too hot to really do anything these days. I'm ready for fall!

Those swim trunks look like the same ones we got for the boys last year...Cade a 9 month (which Cullen wore instead of Cade) and a 24 month for Cullen...this year they still don't fit! Maybe when he's 5!
