Summer Has Hit the Temple's

Well, to me its official.....summer has hit our house...




Our pool hit 81 degree's (although I am sure in the evening it is freezing)....The girls had their first adventure in the pool today in their new bathing suits......

Of course I needed to go in there with them and I felt like a chicken...It still had a chill in it, but after about 15 minutes, I was doing laps and it felt so good....Just in time for the girls and myself being off from school and work.

On another note, Elizabeth went to the gym with me last night and then we hit Kohl's and the mall. She enjoyed herself having some "girl time" and coming home at 9:00. That is a very, very rare occasion because I can be a stickler with bedtime and I really do not budge. But the past few weekends, I did let Elizabeth stay up with my while George was assisting at the RP and even though she'll be 6 next month (which is still young) I need to separate what "privileges" she has at her age from Jillian's age. I have to say, I had a ball with her yesterday.....Of course by time we were back in the car and driving home, she did get a bit whiney....But I'll have to do this once or twice a month....

Today we headed back to the mall with Jillian because Jillian really needed sandals. She always gets stuck with Elizabeth's hand-me-downs, which is not a bad thing.....but it seems that there are certain things that either Elizabeth wore badly that I threw out, or that possibly we skipped a size with Elizabeth that we need for Jilly. (A little of both, I'm sure). Anyway, Penny's had a great sale on shoe's and I was able to get a beautiful pair of sandals for Jilly along with a pair of Skechers for Elizabeth. She had wanted a pair which I was going to wait for her birthday, but with the sale and a very limited amount of sandals for her age/size, I caved in. I have to say, I love them too....Here are pics of both....




















But now its 7:45 and its time to get the littliest of our group to go to sleep.....So that's all for now.....
Wanted to say Thanks to Karen for clarifying the "blog list I read".....
Just wanted to say a "Hi" to Jae....We've been having a blast with our own "girl time".....Can't wait for this week...Oy Vey!!!

Wow! Elizabeth has SO much hair now. And those shoes are so cute. I don't think I would have been able to resist buying both pairs either.

Love the bathing suits, especially Elizabeth's. She looks so grown up now. You're going to have to keep an eye on her in a few years, lol.
