Mansions south and swimming

This is where we spent our two weeks living in Oklahoma. Although it was called Mansions South it was nothing like a mansion! It was basically just an old, furnished-2 bedroom apartment. It smelled old, it was old and it was tiny. After you've been living in a home going back to an apartment really sucks! The boys fought a lot more than they do at home and I think that it's because they felt like we were on top of each other. But at least it was better than staying in a motel somewhere. That would have been pure misery. Notice the towel on the window, that's because there was a gap there and we didn't want everyone seeing in. The floors were just a lovely fake wood linoleum. And by far my absolute favorite is all the vinyl sayings on the walls. There was one more saying that I didn't get a picture of. It was in the boys' room on there closet and it was some saying about shoes by Cinderella. It just made me laugh at how they tried to make it classy but it wasn't. So enjoy all the sayings, they top it all!








The bonus to this all was that it had a swimming pool. I spent many afternoons there with the boys when Danny went to school. Nate is our little fish, he loves jumping in and swimming all over the place. This was the first time Josh wore a life jacket in a pool and the first few times he would flip out we let go of him. But after a few days he figured out what to do and was swimming all over the place too. I don't remember if he jumped off the edge or not but he was at least swimming on his own and loving it. And Colton loved the water as long as we held him. The pool was a lot of fun for us and most of the time we had it to ourselves, yeah!
