Mother's Day

I woke up this morning to the sound of Chase and Claire talking and reading books. They were in their sleeping bags on Henri's floor... and Henri was still sound asleep. I made pancakes for breakfast... since according to Chase's "Mother's Day Book" is one of the reasons that I'm so special.

When we got home from lunch (Flaming Amy's btw), the kids were ready to go swimming. Running, jumping, splashing... they had so much fun!! Claire even took her "swimming baby" for a dip! It took Henri awhile to warm up to the water... but once he was comfortable, there was no fear for him. He even jumped in the pool butt-naked... luckily, his big brother was there to help him... otherwise... Mom or Dad would have been jumping in with our clothes on!! They stayed in the pool for about 3 hours and only got out because it was time for dinner.

After dinner, they rode bikes and then played tag. Henri... still naked... was running around the front yard trying to get everyone... he doesn't really know the rules, but he has no problem following what everyone else is doing!
