It also helps to have a husband who's a great sport:

Marilou? The water fight was a bit too intense for the babies, so they ate frozen blueberries and frozen mangoes to help beat the heat (not pictured: a purple-stained Andrew).

Isn't Peter a great multitasker? Having a water fight while protecting his beer!

I think everyone would've loved it had Peter been able to stay home with us the whole week! The kids, obviously (because he's WAY more fun than me!), and me (because, let's face it, sic kids are a lot of work and, well, because he's way more fun than me!).

  1. Way to be creative with the heat! Although I don't think I would have wanted the water in my face (Peter is a good sport). Love that he is protecting his beer...so funny! Whatever you are doing is working...the kids look like they are having a ton of fun!

  9. Such fun photos! And a definite good sport. :)

    Thank you for helping with my French, ha, or lack thereof! One day I'll take a basics class so I won't be such a numbskull. Good luck on your BIG move!
