sundays

sundays are officially our 'family days'.

this is the one day c and i set aside to spend the majority of the day together with the boys.
some sundays we are motivated to go someplace exciting and new, and other days we just
stick close to home. this morning was one of those mornings.

we spent 2 hours doing chores (ugh) and then we all headed to the hilton for some playtime in the pool.
with kids back in school, most of the tourists are gone so we had the pool to ourselves which was very nice.


the boys have come such a long way this past summer with their swimming.
finn's confidence has grown and he's so proud of himself. of course c and i are too.
he is eager to show off his new skills/tricks to all who will take a moment to acknowledge him.
scoutie continues to be fearless around water which is a blessing and a curse. the biggest problem?
he truly thinks he can swim and he can't!  not yet anyway. 
we have to keep arm floaties on him as he will just jump into the pool (anywhere) without them.
the kid is fearless.

here are a few videos i promised finn i'd share with grandma and grandpa.

 








later in the afternoon while the boys napped, maddy and i headed to the mall to do a little shopping.
 i was on a mission to find a dress for todd and heather's upcoming wedding.
generally, i *never* find anything when i'm looking but i got lucky - i found two dresses!

one is a simple lilac tank style dress from banana republic and the other is creme colored tank-style dress, with black embroidered flowers on one side of the bodice from anthropologie. i rarely step foot into this store as it doesn't fit my budget, but on occasion they will have great sales and i'll find something that i love. the dress i found today literally fits me like a glove and i couldn't resist. (i must snap a photo of it and send to christi ) both are spring/summer dresses, but since florida is still generally warm in october, i'm hoping i can wear one of them? i will bring some kind of cover just in case.

i had a wonderful sunday - with my boys and then with maddy.
she was certainly my good luck charm today.

thank you for joining me m. love you! auntie a
