"God doesn't give children with special needs to strong people; He gives children with special needs to ordinary, weak people and then gives them strength. Raising a child with special needs doesn't take a special family, it makes a special family."--Author Unknown

Water Day and Bowling

Friday was a pretty hot day so we turned on the sprinklers, pool and splash rocket and sent the kids outside to play. Sarah was so excited she didn't even wait to get her shoes or swimming suit on before she ran outside. She got water poured on her head so many times I lost count, but she never cried. She loved it!! Her diaper got so saturated and soggy it was disgusting! You also can't have little boys swimming without including the gratuitous bum crack shots: Matthew LOVES the Splash Rocket. He just sat and played with that all afternoon.

Today Aaron had the day off since the holiday landed on a Sunday. We took the kids out bowling this afternoon. There is something seriously wrong when all your kids can almost double your score! I did have a small handicap--I was carrying Noah in the front pack while I was trying to bowl. If I wouldn't have been carrying him I am sure I would have bowled a perfect 300 score game (wink, wink).Noah didn't think too much about bowling. He was like this most of the time in the front pack:

Josh was Daniel's helper and coach. I should have had him coach me maybe I could have scored higher.

Sarah was our little cheerleader. After everyone's turn she would clap her hands and say, "Good Job!!" Try to look past her really spooky hair that did not stay up at all today!

Sarah is my little climber and dare devil. She scooted her little toy over to Noah's crib and precariously perched herself on the handle while she tried to look at him. She is a crazy kid!

What a little talker..and so "appropriate"! Although she does sound like her mother..clapping her hands and saying "good job!" :)

So you had a handicap, totally understandable. What was Aaron doing though? He did worse than you! ;)

Aaron really doesn't have a good excuse. I think both of us are going to use the bumpers next time, too.
