Swim Party!

Apparently today was the hottest day of the year so far.  I even broke a sweat vacuuming! The first thing Izzy asked in the morning was if we could go swimming.  We told her that we would go after lunch around 1:00.  She immediately got herself ready with her goggles strapped to her face and all. She then grabbed HQ's bikini and insisted that we get her ready before it got too late. It was 7:30am...

This morning Izzy and I had a heart to heart conversation:

"Mom, can kids pick their eye boogies?" She asked.
"As long as they wash their hands after" I responded.
"Good, cause eyeballs are the most important.  You don't want to take them out and hold them in your hand.  That would hurt."

Around lunchtime some friends of ours (Bill and Christina) came over for a relaxing time in the pool/on the couch.  Ty and Bill tried to turn the pool into a wave pool/whirlpool by running around in circles while Christina and I watched in quiet admiration of our husbands... (i.e. laughed out loud).  It did actually work though! Izzy, who had spent the whole morning complaining about how hot she was and how she needed to get in the pool decided that she would rather hang out in the jacuzzi.  HQ had a blast chilling in her inflatable starfish.  Of course I forgot my camera... I stink at blogging.

After the pool it was decided that watermelon, Trader Joe's goodies, and a friendly game of Mario Party was in order.  HQ went down for her nap and the four adults (Izzy was on my "team") did some serious partying.  Christina won much to her surprise.  It was a great afternoon with some great people.

We aren't gambling people, but Ty got this thinking it would be fun and we won $20!
