How to pass the time?

What am I supposed to do all day when everyone else is at school?  Learn how to swim of course!  (A natural butterflier we have found out!  We took her to the pool and she said,"Look mom!" and she took off swimming a pretty decent butterfly--it was amazing!)

Mid Demolish!

This is what the rooms looked like right before I found more water leaking in.

Yes! I have been ignoring you ;0

Sorry, I have been dealing with a situation in Skylar and James' room.  I have been tearing down walls and attempting to put them back up.  After I got all the walls down, we found a problem with the insulation that needed to be fixed.  So, I called in the experts and now someone else is taking care of it.  But, in all that time, I have taken all of 6 pictures and my house is in utter chaos (because I have been ignoring everything but the mold filled rooms)!  I feel a great sense of relief to pass that on and have a found a little time to blog my six pictures.  However, now I can't seem to get my camera to connect to the computer.  JT comes home on Thursday--hopefully he can help!

Christmas Day (#2)!

 Waiting for all the adults to arrive so we can finally open our stockings!

 Santa and her elf!

 Still waiting...

 DIG IN...

 Now time to play with everything!  James doing a little science kit.

 

Brennen enjoying some painting.

  

All the kids got puppets and they played with those all week!

  This lion is enjoying a little of James' science kit...

 

  

Kellen's Favorite!

 

 So much work to unwrap, we have to cool off in the pool!  Uncle Ross gets surrounded!

 

Relaxing poolside.

 The sun goes down on another great Christmas! Thanks Jim and Marilyn!

 

Christmas Eve!

Ok, Santa has brought the PJ's!  Time to get them on and get the required photo.  One problem, Brennen is very upset that he did not get green PJ's.  How could you, Santa?

 Add in Cousin Jackie (baby Maya Bronwen was already asleep)!

 Time for bed Lotta!  Uncle Matt and Lotta show me what they think about that!

At last!

After a pretty rough day of travel and an extra long sleep in, we are ready to enjoy!  However, we had no suits, since all our bags were lost.  Lucky for Skylar, she packed a suit in her carry-on, the boys swam in their underwear (except for James and Brennen who had decided they did not need to wear underwear on the flight over) and there was a little suit lying around at grandmas for Lotta!
