A Day in the life of the Condie's:

Gibson just finished up his first round of swimming lessons. He loves the water as long as he doesn't get his face wet!....I took this picture at the end of his lesson. Notice the dry head.

He was a very animated kid and his favorite part of the lesson is when they'd go get the rings. The other little kids were diving underwater to get theirs, Gibson would use his toes to bring it to shallow water and then reach down and pick them up.

The last day of lessons they let the kids jump off from the side. Each of the kids did it unassisted....except for Gibson. He chose to have help. Needless to say, we'll be repeating the entry level of swimming. When I went to register him, the lady at the desk had the form printing when I realized I hadn't given her ANY of my information. "Don't you need my name" I asked? "oh, we KNOW who your son is!" I'm still wondering if that's good or bad, for my peace of mind I'm guessing he's just the cutest thing in the pool and so they know him:)

After lessons, I decided we needed milk and a few other items.....so we drove an hour to Sams Club, why? Just because. It's hot. We're bored. {okay, I'm not bored, we're moving in a few weeks, how could I possibly be bored? The boys are bored and we all needed a break}

So we drove the HOUR to Sams Club. I'm normally a Costco girl but I wanted to get the boys some life jackets and they were sold out at Costco so we kept going to Sams Club. When we got there I realized that I had the kids I swore I'd never have......yup. THOSE KIDS.

Easton had wet through his diaper and his shorts. So, I changed him and it was either put him back in soaking wet shorts or take him into the store in only a diaper and shoes.....

Gibson had lost his shoes. We changed him at the pool so we could get on the road and somewhere in the shuffle we lost his shoes.

So, we went into the store.....Seriously, don't judge me. I drove an HOUR to get there. I wasn't about going to turn around and go home.

This is us coming out of the store. It wouldn't be a trip to a large warehouse full of food if we didn't have the customary $1.50 hot dog and drink combo. Of course we also got a churro, water and ice cream.

Did I mention it was 104 degrees??

So while filling up with fuel, I realized that Sams Club has a CAR WASH. Oh yeah. How fun would that be on a hot day?? Gibson enjoyed it. {we already broke out the Sams Club purchases. Fruit Snacks and Juice Boxes....you know, 'cause he's hungry. It was only 10 minutes ago we ate our hot dog, churro and ice cream.}

Easton was, well too hot to care.

We got home and while I was putting away the groceries, the boys filled up the once was a sandbox but now is a pool, pool. {thanks Tara}

Easton, has NO fear and before I could get his swimming suit on him, he had jumped in and realized just how good cold water feels on a hot, hot summer afternoon. {click on picture to make larger}

We really tested the limits on his diapers. I didn't want to waste a swim diaper on the backyard {those things aren't cheap} so he ran around without one for a bit. He played for quite a while and then we closed the pool, ate dinner, got in our pj's and prepared for an early night to bed.

However,

someone forgot to tell Easton! He realized that swimming in the pool was just as fun in pj's!

So, that was a day of our week. Swim lessons and a trip to Sams Club. I wonder if I'll be this easily amused when I move to a larger town?? I guess we'll see!
