Memorial Day

My brother's pool is finally ready and my kids are so excited. On Memorial Day we had a family cookout at Uncle Jesse's. Jeremy's older brother, wife and daughter came too. My two sister's who are perpetually late showed up like three hours after everyone else, but at least they made it. Well, my brother's house is still under construction so we were limited to the back yard. His hardwood floors are still wet because we've had so much rain the air is too humid for them to dry completely. Sounds fine so far, but oh yeah we have to use the bathroom. If you haven't figured it out yet, that picture of me, Sonia and Mariana is us climbing in the window to get to the bathroom without walking on any of the hardwood floors. Like I already said it is still raining in Texas. I have never seen so much rain before. We literally have had rain everyday for at least the last two weeks. This of course didn't make for the greatest swimming conditions. The boys decided to work up a sweat playing b-ball before the plunge into the pool. Bailey however didn't seem to mind a bit and spent most of the day in the pool. I finally dragged her out shivering. Sonia and I never braved the cold enough to actually make it in. I was totally content sitting on the side reading a book!
