Karen and Joshua's house!

Since the kids were out of school for the holiday, (if the actual holiday falls on a Thursday or Friday, the holiday is celebrated on the following Monday - I'm constantly confused by the things they do in this country) anyways, we spent the morning and afternoon hanging out at the community pool and playground. Her community pool is more like a resort. There is a golf course, to the right, 2 different playgrounds surrounding the big pool and the baby pool, and there are two different restaurants to choose from.

Hailey and Joshua throwing toys for Lauren so she could dive for them.

Very pregnant Karen with only 3 weeks left!

Lauren catching Joshua

Lauren was a great help but after today, she is rethinking the, "I want a little brother" idea. After swimming, we headed back to Karen's house where Lauren ran around the house (with Joshua's clothes in her hand) chasing Joshua's naked butt . Ten minutes later Lauren won the clothes struggle! Happy that she finally got him dressed, she went to the bathroom. Joshua stood by the door trying to open it while screaming, "Lauren, Lauren, Lauren." When Lauren came out of the bathroom, she was greeted by Joshua but he was naked again. So round two began :0)! Since Lauren didn't mind and Karen is VERY pregnant, she was more than happy to let Lauren dress him. Besides, it was funny to watch while Karen and I made lunch.
