While looking over the week's pictures it occurred to me that we have been to 3 different pools and 2 water fountains.
I always have my camera.
There was some of this...
and that.
But mostly this...
Which results in this...
and explains why I have been to three pools and two water fountains this week. When you have boys it is ALL about energy management.
By the way, the nap was not in the quiet surroundings you might imagine from that picture. It was in a large noisy room full of boys practicing karate and parents/siblings waiting.

Love it! Snorkie does the same thing Than the Good Lord. Sometimes it's a bummer when they nap though, makes it harder to get them to bed early!
Blessings, E
PS I have girls that are the same way!
I look back wistfully upon the pool days. Our favorite was the swim club on Sunday mornings when everyone else was at church. A Junior Olympic size pool, a wader, and a jacuzzi, plus our own personal lifeguard all to ourselves.
We still spend a lot of time at the pool, but they're playing water polo and I'm trying to keep my skin from getting sun-damaged!
Nothing like the pool to wear those boys (and girls!) out. These are fun pictures, Holly. Love the closeup of your oldest boy. He looks like his momma!
That is the best kind of nap.
I love the pool for the same reasons! Summer naps are the BEST!
I've seen you around and dropped by to say "hi". Love your site and will definitely be back!
What fun!! Taking the toddlers 2 plus boy to the pool is just too much work (and money) *lol* I'll just have to take them over my friends house for water play as frequently as possible *G*
And the boys look so handsome in those pics!!!
How fun! Your boys are darling and those were such cute pictures!
Hope you are having a good weekend - Kellan
Pools are THE best for wearing their little tails out! Great picures...super cute kids!
You're so right -- it IS all about energy management with boys! I always feel like if they're filthy and tired by the end of the day, I've done my job well.
Do you know that I have no pool pics from this summer.
Why you ask?
Because we have a new "rule" at our pool. NO PICTURES!
No camera allowed at the pool. Too many people posting pics online of kids and adults in swim suits.
Wha?
Whatever. I am still bitter. I have no pictures of my third child at the pool. Flipping frogs!!!!
your boys are so stinkin' cute.
and yeah. it IS all about energy management.
what a beautiful thing.. my 4 year old has been bonkers this week, with camp two days. We must hit up the fountains more.
Oh is it summer already? Still waiting for it to arrive in Norway.. how depressing... They are cuties.. 6 weeks til we are home in the US & I can start taking my pool pictures: Yippee
My kids call me "Paparazzi", too! LOL
But, you know what, maybe I am one. :D
Great shots, girl!
Energy management, you say?
*writes that down for futre use*
Great photos.
Oh that looks like fun!
Boys are also very very noisy..as well as busy. Noisy Noisy Noisy
hehehehe cheers Kim
That looks like so much fun! We've got to go to the pool (and then hopefully mine will look just like your youngest in the last pic!)
I love all of them ... it's winter and freezing here -not even the fun of snow ...
Ahhhh... those are so fun. I remember being completely "zonked" after a good swim. Those were the days...
I love pool days - heck, I still zonk out after a good pool day!
Great shots!
That first one totally looks like he's calling off the Paparazzi! "Listen Lady, that's enough pictures already! Backoff!" HA!
Looks like a fun week!
Looks like they all had fun this week. I'm tired just looking at the photos. LOL!!!
WOW. It's the mamarazzi!!
I love the 7th photo and the nap one!
Great shots this week -- looks like they had a great time!
What really awesome series - great summertime fun feeling. And the last is just precious!
YES! What an awesome summer. Boy, they are having a great time - you really do a fabulous job. I so admire you for your capacity to mother.
You rock!
Happy Father's day to Blog-Stedman too!
what a fun time they've had! And the best one is the last shot.
This is so, so sweet!
But three pools and two water fountains? How do you get anything else done?! You are one together chic!
What cute pics of your boys! The pool looks like fun:)
Your boys are a-dorable! We've been spending a lot of time at the splash park too. I love how it induces sleep.
Too adorable. It looks like you have three cuties to amuse you, too.
If I had three boys, I'd be dragging them to every potential energy-sucking location around. You've got the right idea!
Loved the first picture. "No pictures please!" :-)
Here is my post. Have a great week!
Oh... I have a soft spot for thumb lovers, just like my boy. Great pictures!
I am missing the 'amenities' in DFW! We will be in town July 4-8. Will you be around? I am still reading, but prefer to lurk most days since I am completely intimidated. LOL
Awwwe! The last picture is so cute! :D!
Aren't the little ones so precious?
How sweet is that napping picture? Awwww....
Great photos!
I have been to two pools this weekend, due to triathlon training. I need one of those naps as seen in the last photo!
I feel like taking that kind of nap right now. Except my exhaustion is from mopping and vacuuming.
Such FUN winners this week! I totally agree about the energy management~I have 2 boys & totally relate! But I love them more than life ;)
Awww...looks like a fun week.
And is it just me or does Ryan look 37 in that close-up picture?
