Today was another pretty uneventful day. Samuel was awake from 4:45 a.m. until about 5:15 a.m. ugh! I guess I paid for him going to bed early last night. But then he went back to sleep until 8:30 a.m.

We all got a nap today which was much needed (on my part). Then we ended up heading to the pool. So after gearing up for all of us to venture up...with pool bag, towels, floaty for Samuel, vest for Benj, etc. all gathered up we arrived at the pool amidst cloudy skies. We all got in the water. Benjamin jumped in once from the side and the water was feeling rather refreshing on a very hot and humid day. We were in the water for about 5 short minutes when the lifeguard blew his whistle and said "The pool is closing. A storm is coming." ugh. So, out we go. We gathered back up our pool gear and were on our way back home. ugh. Here is a photo of Benjamin looking out the window for the storm after we got home. It did end up storming a bit but blew over rather quick. Oh well.

Benjamin received his "Rescue Pack" in the mail today. This backpack is featured in his favorite cartoon series "Go Diego Go" and now he has one of his very own. Thanks to e-bay! Unfortunately, no actual "Rescue Pack" seems to be on the market so I did my homework and found a lady who makes the backpacks and sells them on e-bay. I mentioned to Benjamin the other day that the mail man (yes, for those of you who have read previous blogs, we usually do have a mail MAN who tends to use his horn less often) would be bringing his rescue pack in a few days. So, for the past few days every time Benjamin has seen the mailman he asks about his rescue pack. And he actually went out to the mailbox with me today and was so excited when he opened up the envelope containing his very own rescue pack!

Samuel has really got this scooting stuff down. He is really all over the place. And not only that, now he kind of stands up on his feet with his hands still on the floor (see photo). He is very interested in everything he can get his lil hands on which mostly means his big brother's toys. But also means it's time for me to get down on the floor and re-child proof my house! ugh.
I received a political call today. ugh. Not even sure who it was for but as soon as I knew for sure that it wasn't Don I was ready to hang up. I told him I wasn't interested and he said "You're not interested in the future of our country, ma'am." He's lucky I hung up when I did because otherwise he probably would have gotten an ear full. Geesh... assuming that I'm not interested in the future of our country just because I was too busy not to talk to some political party that I'm NOT going to be sending any money to regardless of their political affiliation.
On that note, no word from Don today. I'm assuming he was just too busy today or traveling back to his normal base. I've just gotten a lil spoiled by having two Saturday phone calls two weekends in a row.
