weekend in text

Let's try this again, I continue to get booted out of blogger, so we'll try writing this one more time and see if it sticks.

We had a weekend full of water activities- the spray park in Stoneham with Nana and then the Belmont Underwood pool on Sat. and Sunday. Saturday it was quite at the pool but on Sunday, I think the entire town was there- very busy. We got the boys each a pair of goggles and they love them! They wore them all day in the pool and then Shane even wore his (with his bumble bee rain boots) to the store. I'll post photos of them once I figure out how to download photos from my phone.

Tonight out of the blue- Shane said that he wanted to be Jackson with no further explanation.
Shane's name begins with S- they both call it the snake and that it is Shane's word- so anything that begins with S is Shane's word. And J- is Jackson's word but there aren't too many words that begin with J so we don't have that conversation too much.

Keith decided that the boys need to start doing more for themselves so we made some popcorn and he told them to each go and get their own and they did it successfully- mommy was imagining popcorn all over the kitchen floor but that was not the case.

Both Shane and Jackson now pick their ice cream based on the color. Shane likes green, Jackson likes strawberry (usually). Last night we got some ice cream and they both liked the orange sherbet color so that is what they chose. It reminded me of when their cousin Abby was little and we went someplace with Blue ice cream and her eye's lit up and she said, I want that!

Until tomorrow- when they start the creative explorer program at the boys and girls club- mommy and daddy are a little nervous- it is a drop of program and we don't know the counselors but keeping our fingers crossed for a good day!
