That's funny you say 2 of the boys are hoarders because I think Parker would be too. He wants to save every paper from school and has enough movies to run a video store, lol.

Spencer and Harry went fairy willingly and I had to push Alex up each step of the ladder. Then I stood guard on the ladder and told them they "were going to have fun!" lol. Harry was immediately happy, Spencer warmed up to it in a few minutes and Alex finally smiled after Taylor arrived and got in with them.<br /><br />I think you're right...after they do it once, it will be easier. It's just a hurdle they have to overcome...sometimes many times and without reason. But all are wet and getting a little sun.

My son tends to obsess about things, but in spurts. He can do something over and over for weeks, then not do it for months. But once he is reintroduced to it, he will be right back to doing it all the time. It is a great summer for having a pool!<br /><br />I am a hoarder. Don't throw out my stuff... never know when I might need that thing I haven't touched in 20 years. :)Yujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025841543342602157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-4829397328710731612012-06-20T12:20:44.177-04:002012-06-20T12:20:44.177-04:00Betsy what amazing you said in the side bar about&...Betsy what amazing you said in the side bar about"thinking" is exactly I was thinking in the morning!Gloria Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055543111865966546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-15243031387935190922012-06-20T12:16:58.549-04:002012-06-20T12:16:58.549-04:00I hate clean closets too!
