Outside

 We have really been on a working outside kick (mainly Chris). For the past few weekends we've been planting flowers, pulling out bushes, moving playsets (we sold our old one and got a new (to us) one), painting play sets (hello 11 hour day!), and installing and readjusting some brick pavers. Our outdoors looks fabulous! Chris has been such a workhorse and is the primary one responsible for all the improvements. :) 

 The girls have been hanging out with us outside a lot. They have been awesome. One day we just totally threw Juliet's nap out the window, and she did great with that. They have had a lot of fun getting reacquainted with all their outdoor toys and neighbors. 

 Juliet loves her goggles. We start swim class next week. She's been better in the bath, and tells me that she wants to swim like a mermaid, so hopefully she will do well. Leah is totally terrified. I keep reminding her how many things she used to be afraid of, but now loves. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that she gets an amazing teacher like she has for gymnastics. And, I am really hoping she doesn't pollute Juliet's desire to learn to swim.
