As I was cleaning up the kitchen from breakfast, I hear Jackson singing. He's not just singing any song. He's singing Journey! My oldest was singing Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'. I had to stop and do a double take to make sure I heard it correctly. Yes, I did. I was so ridiculously proud of my child singing a Journey song and not some other stupid childhood song. I felt like I was doing something truly good in raising my children because of that single moment.
After nap time, my day went oh so wrong. I decided to take the boys to the pool because they had been pretty good. Andrew and I took to the pool twice this weekend, and I was confident I could handle them. I'm hurrying up trying to get everyone dressed in order to give us a good hour before we needed to come back. I had everyone in their suits and ready to be coated with sunscreen when it happened. I went for the pool bag when I realized Andrew has the pool key on his key ring. There was absolutely no way for us to go because I couldn't even get us in the gate.
I had to break the news to the kids, who were super excited. Jackson and Cullen were not happy. There may or may no have been tears shed. I felt horrible about it. I got everyone all worked up and excited, and I couldn't take them. In order to get back on their good side, I bribed them with slushies and french fries from Sonic. And now, I have the pool key on my key ring.
Here's a picture I took of the boys when we were at the park.
