First off I don't know how Paul has so much energy and a happy attitude to do all he does every single day non-stop. If I were doing half as much as he from dawn till dusk, I'd pull it off but I'd be suddenly cranky one day when it all caught up. So far he hasn't erupted...LORD. He even stays up late. Works hard and plays hard.
Speaking of playing hard, this has been a fast week and we are playing hard this weekend. I am super grateful Anna's keeping up!
My nephew Kody is in town, and he's not the moody, quiet, self-centered almost-13-year-old you'd expect. He's stinking cute, friendly, chatty, and participates in everything. Not to mention polite. He even actually enjoys playing with Anna and Anna really likes having him here. He came to stay with us for a week or so and attend the football camp Paul's clinic supported for 3 days. By the way, the employees and our friends all rock for supporting a second year in a row! In the horrible Houston heat, keeping the kids hydrated, lots of tiring physical activity. Thank you guys for supporting us again. You are truly great friends and a great Valeo staff!
Anyway, Kody and Anna and Paul and I have been buys this week. Almost every evening is swimming till the pool closes. Last night LW and her family came to the pool and we ordered pizza and the kids played for hours. It was so freaking fun! My favorite part was when LW's daughter (same age as Anna) and Anna were singing London Bridge and Baby Bumble Bee in the middle of the pool with us. Sooooo stinking cute. Anna's getting GREAT at hanging in the pool by herself with her arm floaties on...she kicks on her belly, she jumps in from the side, and goes completely under. She is so comfortable in the water now: a far cry from where we started when the summer started! And Kody can do some mean dives off the diving board.
Yesterday at the Little Gym, Anna was all over that room, doing stuff she's never done before. She even hung off the bars by her legs, upside down! She's always hated bars before. She can walk along the beam with her arms out and I don't even need to hold onto her. She totally loves that place! I wish we could get a few consistent weeks in a row, though. It seems we're always out of town or something (like next weekend).
Anna: Mommy, I know that thing!
Me: What is it, baby?
Anna: It's a hair thing!
Me: What's it do?
Anna: It cleans ma hair!
My hair dryer.
This morning was Kemah and now she's napping before we go to OM and MM's bouncy birthday party.
I'm beat and actually took a 30 min nap myself yesterday. And I'm not a napper!!! Just like last Monday I feel like I'll be beat rolling into work.
Gotta go wake her from her nap to go to the party...
