Best Buds & Crazy Hair

Today was a busy fun day for us.  After spending nearly four hours at the pool with Bryce, one of Tyler's best buds, the boys came home and took great naps.  Wisely Luckily I had thought to take a change of clothes to the pool for Ty, so that when he fell asleep in the car on the way home I could easily transfer him to his bed.  After previous pool excursions, I have had to wake him up to change him out of his wet swimming trunks, consequently interrupting nap time for the entire day!!  I did forget to take a change for Lucas though, so he got to sleep in a dry swim diaper and a t-shirt.  He didn't mind though, it was a little cooler for him on this HOT Virginia day.

We had been having some, quite unusual, but VERY pleasant weather over the past several weeks.  Dare I say, "cool" even.  Uhm, cool related to pool weather, that is.  With highs in the low 80's and nearly no humidity, the pool water didn't hadn't a chance to warm up much, so the boys would end up shivering and miserable.  That has made our previous trips to the pool rather brief!  With the temperature reaching 98 whopping degrees today (hot, but not quite the blistering 100+ degree days we experienced for days on end while living in Texas), the water was quite warm.  In fact, after spending some time in the big pool and then returning to the baby pool, it felt almost like bath water!

I was too busy playing with the boys,  worrying about Tyler tackling Lucas in the pool, again (and chatting of course) to remember to take too many pictures (or to be brave enough to bring it that close to the water), but I did get one cute one of the boys as we were leaving.  Tyler was having so much fun with Bryce that he climbed in their car to go home with them.  Even Miss Amy suggesting a nap didn't deter him any...he just said "OK", when she told him he'd have to take a nap if he went home with them!!

All that swimming sure did work up an appetite for the boys, too.  They woke up just long enough to eat dinner and play a little, before crashing again.  This is the first night in MANY nights that we haven't had to perform an encore multiple encore bedtime routines with Tyler.

Lucas has always played with his hair when he gets tired.  Apparently he was getting sleepy while enjoying his peaches!!
