Day 145 and 146

I'm so relieved we came home a day early because otherwise I don't know how I'd ever have enough time to get done everything I need to do. Thankfully, I did most of our laundry while were in Destin but all of the unpacking and cleaning seems endless. Our poor kids seemed to be bored out of their mind so after unpacking all of us and straightening up a few rooms in the house we decided to go swimming at Nana and Papa's. You'd think they'd be sick of swimming already but not my little fishy's. They would live in the pool if we'd let them. We had a really great time visiting and hanging out a while. Saturday really seemed to zoom by and the kids went right to bed. Sunday, my parents decided to host a small get together for me for my birthday and what did we do?1 Swim!!! Only this time we got to do some swimming with cousins which is always more fun!

Another good highlight to the day is that Skylar is swimming all on her own! No floaties. No mama. Just her and those long stems. She still gets a bit scared and we have to reassure her that she's fine and we are right there if she needs us but by the end of the day she was jumping off the hot tub rocks into the pool and swimming over to the steps. we are so very proud of her. Bryce and Jack had a bunch of fun too. They seemed to have their own kind of thing going on and even spoke in guy code. Bryce was totally eating it up since all he has to hang out with all day is girls. After we were all done with swimming, we went inside for cake and ice cream. The kids all helped in blowing out the candles and my favorite part was Bryce turning to me and saying "happy birfday, mama." Then he planted a big kiss on my cheek. Oh and before I forget...Skylar swimming isn't the only big news of the week but Bryce is back at potty training. He's doing so well too. We are crossing our fingers that maybe he'll be completely potty trained before his birthday! My sweet husband made me a beautiful video of he and the kids singing happy birthday that I'll cherish forever. These past two weeks have been glorious and today was just icing on the cake - literally!
