This morning at about 2am, I woke up b/c Todd was making jerky movements and covering his head with his hands.
Todd: What was that?
Me: Huh? What?
Todd: They're throwing things at us.
Me: Who?
Todd: The boys. They're throwing something at us.
Me: You're having a nightmare.
Yeah, I think that pretty much sums up a weekend at our house and what it can do to one's mental state!
Oh, and Henry locked himself in the bathroom last night and then had a big poop. It took us 35+ minutes to get him out, so he had a bad diaper rash. Someone pointed out the irony of getting a diaper rash while IN THE BATHROOM. haha. Needless to say, we are taking locks off of as many doors as possible.

New fan!
Look at our great little home improvement project! It took the normal 3 trips to Lowe's...the first one - bent. Todd figured that out when he was putting on the last blade. The second one - I accidentally brought home a bronze fan. Todd thought it might look ok, but I nixed that. haha. The third one is perfect! Looks so much better!
The old fan. Notice the wicker inserts in the blades. A little too retro for me!

The new fan. And I have to say...It was on clearance for $61. The third one was the last silver one they had. Woo Hoo! Look how great it looks with the other fixture.

Leo quote
Yesterday afternoon, we went up to Leo's school for the big unveiling. At 4:30 on the dot, they post class lists...so everyone goes up there to see who their teacher and classmates will be. Then there is a little fair-type thing in the cafeteria where you can buy school shirts (they wear them on Fridays), pre-packaged school supplies, extra-curricular activities, PTO sign-up, etc.
So...we were walking through everything, and Leo spotted the Scouting table. They had a display with pictures of things they do and brochures. As we were walking home, I asked Leo if he would like to do Scouts. He said..."Mommy, did you see that picture of the boy fishing? That is how I know I have to be in Scouts - Fishing is my DESTINY!!!"

Swimming Lessons and Muehlenbeck Center
We've done lots of swimming today! Henry said he was "not tired" all the way home, and then practically passed out before I could get him covered up!

I tried to get them to pose, but it was a no-go.

Technical Difficulties
We are still here. The card on my camera croaked, and so Todd ordered me a replacement. I lost lots of pictures that hadn't been saved, but I'm not going to dwell on it. I have my old faithful Canon that never dies, so I'm firing it up for our outing today.
We went to a nice waterpark with the boys on Saturday that they both loved called Hawaiian Falls. It's right down the road, and Todd and I both remarked how the boys don't know how different this is from the way we grew up. Going to something as fancy as that required many hours in the car for both of us! Anyway, they had a wonderful time...Henry mostly splashed and played in the sprayers, and Leo rode the slides he was tall enough to qualify for and played in the wave pool. You could also take a cooler into this place, so I packed us a beautiful healthy lunch. But I lost all the pictures.
School starts for Leo on Monday, and today at 4pm we can go see who his tchr is and who's in his class. I'm taking both boys to a pool in Plano today after Henry's swimming lessons, and if I'm still sane...I'm going to take them to the Boy Scout Museum in Irving tomorrow. Things I meant to do all summer, so now we're down to the wire.
Henry is doing amazing in his swimming class, and I hope to have a new video soon. I've signed both of them up for indoor swimming lessons through Plano Parks and Rec for the fall - I don't want Henry to forget what he has learned, and Leo needs some practice on swimming distances. He has had trouble passing the swimming competency test at the Y when his daycamp goes there for swimming day. I think it's mostly a confidence issue combined with lack of practice.
Off to pack another cooler with lunch for today and gather up swimsuits, sunscreen, and towels. I can pack a cooler with a great lunch - start to finish - in about 20 minutes.
