the last week and a half

 the day before the pool closed we surprised the kids at bedtime with one last trip to the pool

it was 8pm and they were ready for bed and we took them anyway

they loved it

 our friends the moody's were there, too

 they thought it was so cool to swim at night

and i hope it's something they always remember

 sweet michael deep cleaned the play room to help me nest

 he rearranged a little, too

 i love a little extra time to myself in the morning

 henry loves to get out at preschool and wait with cannon and eleanor
