Cuteness everywhere!

I got to pick Hunter up from daycare today too. I got AK from her classroom and then we went over to Hunter's to get him. When we walked in the door, Hunter zoomed right over and stopped within an inch of running right into AK! He was quite excited to see her. The two of them held hands as they walked down the hall. When we stepped outside, AK shaded her eyes and said "The sun is bright!". I asked her if she was shading her eyes and she said "Yes. Hunter, shade your eyes!" Hunter responded "No, I'll just shut my eyes'. Good thing AK was holding his hand so that he didn't stumble with his eyes closed!

Once we got into the truck and all buckled in, I let the kids know that we were going to Hunter's house for a swim. AK made sure to let Hunter know when we were driving past the street that goes to her house. Hunter said in a worried voice "We're going to MY house?". I told him yes, and that we would find his dad there, and we'd go for a swim together.

We headed straight to the pool and spent over an hour splashing in the pool. I'm actually quite glad that I wasn't able to make it to yoga today as I got enough of a workout following AK everwhere! She tried on Hunter's goggles and I was hopeful that she'd like them but she took them off right away. I think if she gave them a chance, she'd like how they keep her eyes from getting splashed. She really doesn't enjoy water in her eyes or on her face.

The kids swam with the noodles, they raced back and forth. Hunter is really good at diving down for things that are on the bottom of the pool. I wonder how old I was when I started doing that? I want to know there is hope for AK to someday get her face wet!

Ben and I threw the kids into the shower after the pool and got them all cleaned up. AK threw quite the impressive fit when I told her it was time to go. Too bad - it was way past suppertime! She gobbled up her supper, mostly the chicken and cheese, and drank a whole load of milk. Bedtime was easy-peasy although AK was quite upset that her Thomas PJs were not available for wearing tonight. She looked at the 5 pairs in her drawer and said "I don't want any of these!"

I've got our suitcases mostly packed for our trip on Thursday, just our last-minute things to throw in and we're ready to go! I asked AK to tell Hunter what we're doing later this week and she said "Hunter, I'm going on an AIRPLANE!". Hunter was suitably impressed, I think!
