I could not have asked for a better day during the week than today. We were all a bit worn out after a whole day at the cabin yesterday but since Ehren had to work today we had to come back home last night. I was supposed to watch only Laadyn today so that in itself was a treat for me but then right as Ehren was leaving for work he told me "don't even get up, Laadyn is not coming today." That was the best "good morning" I've gotten in a long time because I was so tired and sleeping in felt so good. :) Our kids were quietly playing in their rooms so I didn't have to get going right away and I felt so spoiled because that doesn't usually happen.
There was quite a bit of cleaning to do since we were gone so much the last week so we tried to get as much done as we could until lunch time and then it was time to hit the pool. Yes, I could have stayed and finished my house chores but spending a fun afternoon in the pool with my kids was so much better. And I get to be with just the 3 of them so seldom that when I do I always want to do something fun so I can enjoy them. :) And did we enjoy it! We had the perfect weather for swimming and we had a blast chasing each other in the water, practicing some swimming moves, jumping off the diving board and so on. I was glad there weren't too many people there too so I really couldn't have asked for a better afternoon. We got home just minutes before Ehren got home from work so that worked out perfectly.

| we had a lot more that we already ate the first day |
It is just nice having days like that when you have nothing planned and can enjoy it rather than being in a rush the whole time getting everything on the agenda done. It was one of those lazy days for me even though I still got a lot done in the morning. We picked some strawberries yesterday and at first I thought we didn't pick that much so it wouldn't take me long to wash and cut the stems out but we got a ton of them which took me a while to clean and now I am looking up recipes for fresh strawberries because I don't want to freeze them. If we still have a lot left in a couple days I will freeze them or make some jam but for now we've been enjoying them with everything. :) I might have had a bit too much yesterday because even though they're like my favorite fruit I now see that there is such thing as eating too much of them. I didn't think it was possible for me before :)
I hope everyone is having a fun summer wherever you are. We still have almost 2 months to go but it seems to be going a lot faster than I thought it would. Before I know it September will be here and I'll be sending my 3 lovelies to school. I am getting ready for that already because it will be very different with my big helpers gone all day.

| It is a nice little pool and there aren't too many days when it's too packed which is nice. |
