Summer has started!

If I didn't already know, the 90 degree temperatures all week have made me sure. Good grief, I don't think I can take another three months of this. But that's not the reason our summer finally started. This is the reason. . .

We went to the pool today! I've been out of school for four weeks now, and we finally got to the pool. Of course, last week we were on vacation. (Pictures of that to come!) Of course, I only got to take Matthew since Nathan is fighting a weird stomach virus. He was sick on Monday, but felt fine by the afternoon. Tuesday he was fine the whole day, but today he was sick again this afternoon after feeling fine all morning. I'm not sure what's going on. It was a little weird going to the pool with just one child. Last year, I had to hold Andrew the whole time while making sure I always knew where Matthew and Nathan were. The rule at our pool is kids 6 and under have to be within arm's length at all times. They stretch the rule to pretty much being within sight all the time. Of course, now that Matthew's seven, I don't have to be within arm's length. So, I could sit on the towel and read while he went all over. I was so excited, until I got to the pool and realized it was too stinking hot to sit and read! So, I went back and forth from the pool back to the side where I could read for awhile until the heat got to be too much. Matthew had a good time, though, and we'll be heading back on Friday! (When it'll be 95 degrees. Lord, have mercy on me.)
