it's starting!

Summer is starting, that is. Or perhaps our long awaited spring is finally revealing it's presence through summer-like temperatures. Today is like 80 degrees outside, and though I at first resisted Noah's request, I gave in...

What our backyard looked like only 2 weeks ago:

Noah wanted to swim! He was not content to merely play w/his cars in the pool as I suggested. He wanted it filled. So after I cleaned it out w/soapy water, I filled it w/really cold water! That's why Evie is not in there. Noah kept getting in the water and then jumping to the side b/c it was so cold.
She enjoyed herself just splashing from the edge.
