From Instagram: My oldest took this photo of the boys playing, and I love it so much!
It turns out that we brought a cold virus home with us from Florida, so this week included quite a few sleepless nights and fussy days. Thankfully, everyone seems to be on the mend now!
In between helping me with the boys and cleaning up the yard (after being away for a month, it needed a lot of help!), Sean set up our new trampoline! Last summer we invested in a small above ground pool for the summer, and this year we decided to add a trampoline to the mix. The girls love the trampoline at our neighbor’s house, and Sean and I are also looking forward to being able to go out there and jump for a little exercise on busy days. (One of us has already been practicing their backflips while the other one is content to just bounce around in circles. I’ll let you decided who is who!)
