Pool Box

This past weekend Matt got out all his manly tools and made a pool box to keep all of our various pool paraphernalia in. Hopefully, this will help us to keep better organized this summer. I am also very impressed with how well it turned out. Now all that is left to be done is to stain it.

Pool Fence

Several weeks ago now my dad came up and put in a fence around the pool. It was something we needed very badly in order to help keep the kids safe. We found out that we couldn't use an automatic pool cover because we have a salt water pool. We also had a sliding glass door so we didn't have a keyed lock to help secure the door. It is amazing the difference have a fence has made. I no longer have to keep putting kids in time out or not allowing the in the back yard because they just couldn't stay away from the water. It has made playing in the back yard so much moe enjoyable. And I know that my kids are that much safer.

Thanks, Dad!!!

Family Visit

This past weekend and yesterday my mom, sister and her two kids were here visiting. It was fun to relax by the pool and watch the kids swim while we talked. We even got in the pool and swam some too. We actually went swimming everyday they were here, twice a day. Karoline really became more of a fish by the time she left. We will miss having them but now I have to move onto the rest of my week with the rest of my commitments including Kindergarten Screening, Newcomers Pool Party here tomorrow night, Kindergarten Orientation Thursday night, and MOPS steering meeting here Friday night. We also have plans for this weekend. I hope this week goes smoothly.

Am I Crazy???

I have just announced that Tuesdays at my house is swim day. There are several groups of moms and their respective kids that I have left the invitation open to come every Tuesday, eight of them to be exact. I look forward to those days because they are so much fun for the kids but at the same time it is pretty hectic. I guess time will tell if it is going to work out or not. My only rule is that you are responsible for your own kids. Though it seems we all help out each other, which I guess is what makes it work.

This past week I had to jump in after Gabriel fell in hitting his head and becoming disoriented. He probably would have been okay but I didn't really want to take any chances. And another mom had to fish her 3 year old out twice when she decided to jump in without her swimmies, arm floats, she sank to the bottom.

I guess we will see how many times over the summer we drag people out of the water.
