Pool Time for the Triplets

We finally got some nice warm weather around here, and that prompted me to go buy a pool, since last year's sprung a leak and we had to take it back. The other day my parents came up to help with the kids, and we had the pool ready to go for this year's first swim.

KJ was in the pool all of two minutes before his swim trunks
and swim shirt came off. He just didn't like them.

Sand toys make great water toys!






The swimming Nemo I found at Target was a big hit.

Elisha needed a snack. Pretzel sticks really hit the spot.

KJ likes to wear Papa's sunglasses

Juli had to give them a try, too!

Bubbles!

Last weekend we brought out the kids' new toy, a bubble machine. Okay, so it's really more of a toy for mom and dad. Okay, so it's really a way to let the kids play with bubbles without all of the mess that generally comes with letting kids play with bubbles. Anyways, it made for some good pictures.

Elisha was not very fond of the bubbles


KJ and Juli wanted to figure out how it worked.

Juli kept trying to "scoop" the bubbles into her shovel.

KJ finally decided to try to catch some bubbles.

Done with the bubbles, KJ and Elisha moved onto the swings.

KJ peeking out of the playhouse, looking like 
he was doing something he should not have been doing.

Juli being Juli.

I found that the light in this corner of the yard was 
perfect for pictures. The photographer in me came out and I 
made each of the kids stand in the light until I got the picture I wanted.


Juli was the most difficult to convince to stand still and look at the camera.

One Of The Most Annoying Sounds I've Ever Heard

All morning I've been hearing this really loud, annoying chirping from outside of our kitchen windows. I went out to see if it was a wounded bird, and it stopped. I didn't see any animals around. When I got back in the house, the chirping continued. I looked out the window and saw a little chipmunk sitting by our flowerbed, making the noise I'd been annoyed with all morning. After listening to this for several hours, I can honestly say this is by far one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard.
