Pool Play

Does anything scream "S-U-M-M-E-R" as much as this....

Wet kids floating around in blue refreshing water?!?  Well, I guess if swimming is not your "thang"...you might have gone with BBQ's...watermelon...fireflies...late nights....even later mornings!  Since this is my blog...I'm sticking with some fun in the sun!

We finally got the pool up, filled and cleaned. The girls pretty much spend all afternoon in it...and then back for more in the evening.  I really don't know how to handle this....rejoice with the silence inside the house during these times....or scream out of utter frustration with the 50+ wet towels and suits I find wadded up around the house!  Its a fine balance...and I'm still working on it!

Once Mark joins in on the fun...kids start to fly throughout the air!  He is a rough  pool player...I avoid the water when he is around.  I hate to be dunked and splashed...he relishes this fact and often resorts to an annoying 10 year old boy who likes to cause problems!  It's not cute.

I, on the other had, have only enjoyed the pool long enough to clean it out.  I'm more of a "float and bop around" type of gal.  Kinda like this.....

BUT my most favorite pool time activity is laying in the sun with my favorite book...listening to my skin begin to sizzle...sweating until I think I might just loose my mind...and then roll off the lounger right into the pool!  Splash!  Refreshed for the evening!  The only problem...no where to lay.  Hopefully that won't be the case for much longer....cause this momma got her way!!! (insert big cheesy smile here!)

Even though he lets me know every 10 minutes this was NOT his idea...my dear, dear hubby is building a deck for the pool!  I can't wait to sizzle and take that plunge!!!!
