sooo, we had an insanely busy weekend just packed with cookouts, a 5K race, golfing, church, cookouts, golfing and trying to find some rest in between if time would allow…did i say we went golfing??? anyways, we had a good time hanging out with family and friends and just enjoying the beautiful weekend weather…
the most memorable thing we did was purchase molly her first pool…kiddie pool that is…it’s in the shape of a star and has three levels to blow up on the outer edge…along with a padded bottom that gets inflated…it was on clearance and just awesome…so we get home and the little kid in me just has to get this thing out and get it blown up right away!!! problem is the air compressor that we had…didn’t work!
so i decided that i will blow up the padded bottom with my lungs…almost, but didn’t pass out, that was good…and then, after a long search, we found the attachment to the bike pump and away we went…pumping away on the pool until it was to the point where it resembled a pool and would hold water…not to mention the fact that arms were going to fall of from pumping…
after her nap, mommy took molly out to the pool…she wanted NOTHING to do with it!!! everyone gave their best efforts to get her in the pool, but to no avail…so the pool was emptied of water and put out in the shed…
yesterday we gave it one more try…and what do you know…she was lovin life!!! laughing and splashing all over the place, it was awesome…
not only that mommy and daddy got in the pool with her…THAT WAS A SIGHT TO SEE!!! we live right next to an entrance into our church parking lot…as people pulled in (after all services were over, in the mid-afternoon) they would see mommy and daddy sitting in the kiddie pool…of course molly is sitting in the pool too and splashing like crazy, but can’t be seen…so…THAT WAS A SIGHT TO SEE!!! we just laughed and had a good old time as a family…being a parent just ROCKS!!!
and we were…
rockin the kiddie pool!!!
I just found your blog from inProgress…
I have to say I laughed out loud when I read this… More at you blowing up the pool, cause I have been there with things like that.
Love it.. Will be back to read again I am sure.
@ckroboth – you would’ve been laughing even harder had you been here in person! i had sweat running down the back of my knees, i was working so hard…it just became a point to prove, dad was saving the world by blowing up this pool…craziness!
inProgress and inWorship are great, i’m sure i’ll be seeing you…thanks for stopping in!
