day 3 of {love}

On day 3 we showed our {love} to one another by doing acts of kindness.  Here's what the kiddos saw in their mailbox this morning...


The note told them that they had to pick one nice thing to do to someone else today.  It also said that Ryan and I were going to take them swimming for family fun day and let them eat a candy BEFORE breakfast {unheard of} as our nice things to them!

{Ellie's acts of kindness were her hugs ;)}

{The boys' "brilliant" idea was to trade candy with each other...but they ended up just switching the same sucker...I think we need to work on what kindness really looks like!  I will say, however, that they are {usually} pretty loving toward each other anyways.}

Then we went swimming for family fun day.  The superheroes and princess are all loving swimming lately!

{Ellie LOVED having Ryan throw her in the air and kept asking for it again and again!}

{Evan had a BIG accomplishment today...he swam in the deep end with just his arm floaties and no one holding him today!!!  He was so proud of himself!  You can see how big brother Avery...who's an old pro at this swimming...looks proud of Evan too!}

Then we ended the day with a {little} super bowl watching...we aren't big sports fans, but the kids like an excuse to eat downstairs and Avery enjoys picking a team to root for!
