Saturday has turned into "swim day" here in our house. I use it as a way to "motivate" the kids to do their saturday chores - whatever works! Then we all load up in our mini cooper (ok, it's a van, but with all of us it FEELS like a mini cooper) - and head off to the ymca. It has been the most fun! I've loved harassing my kids while they swim, for those who know me, that is NOT a surprise :D. It's been fun to see Jacob's reaction too - he wasn't too thrilled at first, but he sloooowwwwllly began to think it was ok. It's been good for his little legs -- they don't move much but I wanted to let them "hang" and feel movement. Josh is the only one not in this picture -- I don't know why, but usually he just refuses to be in pictures - and this was one of those times.
It's spring break here - all the kids are home and we're making excellent use of comcast's services. The weather has been rainy and cold, so going outside isn't much of an option -- that's the difference between summer break when I can send them outside to burn off energy. I love having them all home - I really do - and usually they all get along great... but there are those moments when I want to lock them all in a closet and let them "fight it out"!
We have the furnace guy here from Mikes heating and air conditioning - our furnace went out night before last and we have been FREEZING ever since. We've been all bundled up in blankets - using the stove occasionally for heat when our hair starts to freeze. It has really made me appreciate those "little" things that I take for granted -- like indoor heat! He's in there working on it now --- and I smell something burning... that CAN'T be good, can it?

How fun! I've never been to the YMCA. We're not rich enough to afford a membership there.
