I made breakfast while Brody and Allison played legos and Benjamin played in the backyard:

    

Then we all played in the backyard until it was time to get ready for swimming lessons. Brody and Allison went off the HIGH DIVE!! a few times. I don't even like going off the high dive. Where do they get this bravery? Not me. Here is allison going off the low dive and her hilarious attempt at breast stroke:

  

We came home, had green chili for lunch, and had movie and popcorn:

  

Babysat my niece and nephew for a couple of hours. Benjamin ate goldfish off the ground like a dog. Then, he went upstairs and got mischievous:

   

Brody goes to Jiu Jistu in the evenings now. I did not get a picture of that, but I did get a picture of Allison and me in the car for some reason:

 

 Later, chicken pot pies with the cousins, followed by pumpkin cookies, and a sleepover:

  

 

                    

We babysat Ellie McSmelly Pants for the night. Benjamin enjoyed cuddling with her under the bed

Put baby in front of tv:

 

Tent in the living room

  

Add chocolate to the breast milk to entice him to drink from a bottle:

  

Take baby for a walk with no clothes

 

Selfie:

Leighton had his last day at the IRS and his first day at his new job at Gerrard Cox Larsen this week. He came home with a smile on his face and said "I definitely made the right decision".
