unfortunately i have found about 3 holes in the bitty pool.. so we are trying to temp. repair it .. a bit hard to do since its hard plastic. of course mother has told me that we should be able to find one rather cheap to replace it with and while i agree the bitty pool is find for owen to splash around in on the days we wont be going to mothers house, its still a bit bitty for the bigger boys to get into, and be able to *swim* kwim?
so i have been debating in my head if it will be worth our while to buy a bigger pool for the house itself.. and im still on the fence over it.. i look forward to the daily walks to swim vs just walking out the back door.. however i also ponder how much can i take this summer of always walking down to mothers house so the kids and i can enjoy the day.. its not like we will get that alone time since she is still on the hunt for a new job .. although to be honest i dont know how much hunting shes actually doing ~
i think it would be nice to get the kids home and fed and than to decide to just go for a quick swim before bed.. however, run into the issue of there is no where to go other than to *load them up and walk back down to mothers or to the end of the street*.. yes the debate is wild and active running through my mind..
i mentioned it to mother and she said much of nothing about it to me.. i know this will cost us $149 which is the other question *do i really want to spend the money* ah what can i say .. there is a large part of my brain that just does not allow me to spend money *lol* which i suppose is a good thing huh? just like the purse i found that i would have loved to have.. yep its still hanging at the store because i refused to spend the money on it..
anyways.. back to our day yesterday..
owen had a ball in and out of the pool starting at 11am.. took a short nap after lunch and was right back to wanting to hit the pool for more splashing fun! i got to sit on the porch and get a bit of sun.. a slight burn but nothing overly horrid so thats always good ~
as for today.. owen is at mothers swimming in the bigger pool.. wyatt is at mothers playing xbox 360 (this is another debate that we have this year with the pool being at mothers house.. she says that *the kids have to stay outside until she tells them they can go in* and i disagree, wyatt is not a swimmer to the sense that owen is and if he would rather chill for a bit, than why not let him? wyatt loves to play outside and does quite often.. but he also has those days like us all when he just wants to chill out and have a lazy day.. in mothers opinion he needs to be on the go *like little ron is* or swimming *like owen is* .. ah when will they learn that all of my sweet baby boys have minds of their own as well as their own likes and dislikes?
as for little ron.. hes been fishing once today.. had a bike for about 5 minutes and than it was dead again.. need to get him a new one.. he tears through them quickly but they are totally used up and beyond repair once he is done with them *lol* so i cant complain about not getting our moneys worth thats for sure!
anyways, i suppose i can leave you with a few more pics that i have worked on *smiles*
