My brains, my brains!

Poor Jack hit his head pretty hard.  He and Michael were wrestling and he fell into the solid wood bed that Grandpa Mike made for him. Jack was crying and crying and I came in and felt his head. I didn't mean to, but I gasped when I felt the huge bump that he had (oops).  Jack felt his head and was hysterical.  We sat on the couch for a bit with some ice on his bump, and every time Jack felt his head again, he would start crying uncontrollably.  Steve came in with him so I could have a break, then came to me a few minutes later laughing.  Steve had asked Jack why he was so sad and Jack said "Dad, feel this -my brains are falling out!"

Swim Team!

I usually only post when the kids do something funny, but bare with me.  Today was the first day of swim team! The boys had a blast!

 Here's Michael on the right:

and on the way back:

When it was Jack's turn to swim the length of the pool (they had to show the lifeguards that they could swim that far in order to be on the team), he realized that the other kids were ahead of him and decided to get out of the pool, run ahead to the end of the lane, then jump back into the pool to beat the other kids!  He was pretty popular after that! 

Here's Jack telling the coach that he wants to work on diving:

The coaches/lifeguards were a little confused about what to do with the little (ages 4-7) guys... here they are discussing what to do next...

Our little Michael Phelps:

Overall, a very fun time!  Good thing we get to do it again tomorrow,

 and the next day, and the next day...
