I can't believe she's 3!

L turned 3 on Sunday! Wow - how time flies! I don't know why, but I keep thinking to myself that in another two years, D will be three and the baby thing will be completely finished. I feel a bit sad about that, as it has been my [wonderful and amazing] life for the last 7 years, but I am really excited to be heading for the next stage!

Anyway, we had Grandpa H and mom and dad here, and of course A's parents. This will probably be the last year that L lets me do what I want for her birthday, rather than have a proper party! A made Ukrainian BBQ and I made a cake, shaped like Dora! I didn't think it looked much like Dora, but L liked it, which is really all that matters.

The weather has been HOT! Today is predicted to be 36 degrees. We have the little pool set up in the backyard; it warms up during the day, and the kids go out after 4pm to play in it - it is just too hot earlier. The sprinkler is great too.

The kids made a new friend across the street. His parents are separated, so he only lives here on the weekends I think. He is a year older than M and is super sweet and polite and respectful. I am hoping that the boys pick up some good manners from him! I don't know what it is with M these days, but I am really hoping that it is just a stage that he is going through and will grow out of.

Swimming lessons this morning for the boys. Looks like it will be another waste of money. I am really disappointed with the teachers. I am planning to put the boys in the Flying Fins program during the fall/winter. I have heard that the instruction is a lot better.
