Fun at Home and Swimming Weather

We've been having a lot of fun at the house lately.  I'm trying to stick to some form of a schedule for Owen's naps to try to get him to sleep better at night, so we don't stray far from the house to make sure we're back in time for the next nap.  Luckily, both boys like being at home either playing with toys inside or playing out on the porch.  Owen has been getting some good floor time trying to strengthen those crawling muscles:
I try to do some sort of educational activity with Jack every morning, and I like to get Owen in on the action as much as possible.  Owen likes rolling the blocks and playing with the beads on the abacus looking thing.  I downloaded some preschool apps for Jack to work on numbers and letters.  He really got into tracing letters the other day.
I was having some 'alone time' in the shower the other night, and Jonathan was in charge of childcare.  During that time, Jonathan took pictures of Owen in a bunch of random spots in the house for his take on "Elf on the Shelf."  Here are a few of the picture of Owen being a good sport.
It's been back to swimming weather here, and there are several heated pools in our neighborhood.  Jack and Jonathan have had a lot of fun swimming in the evenings after Jonathan gets home from work.  Last summer Jack was still not a huge fan of the pool, but it's amazing the difference a year makes.  He LOVES the pool, and even likes jumping into the pool into Jonathan's arms.  It might be time for swim lessons.

We got a huge pool noodle and shark backpack for Jack.  Here he is excited to go:
And a little bit better picture of the adorable backpack before a late evening trip to the pool:
