Simple Pleasures of Summertime

What a little dude!

Sweet Summertime. How I love it. So, Kallie has been begging for a waterslide/pool. I plan on getting them a little something for the yard to help keep them from boredom! BUT! My theory on the new age waterslide is... First of all, I don't have an extra $700 laying around and if I did, I certainly would NOT be purchasing a waterslide that will, in due time, be A. chewed by the dog, B. dry rotted, or C. blown away by the first summer storm that heads our way. We didn't have these contraptions when I was little and we always had the most fun in the summer. (I already know, I sound like my parents or even worse, grandparents) But it's TRUE! So, today we were unable to make it to Walmart, the treasure hunt (they are remodeling the entire store), and I had heard for the very last time, " I want a POOL!!!" " All the other kids have one!" Blah, blah, blah. So, I hooked up the old garden hose to the sprinkler and told them to have at it! They had an absolute blast! I then told Kallie, see you don't have to have a big pool to have fun! Her words were " Are we still going to get one tomorrow?" So, as fun as it was, it still didn't take away the urge to have a pool. Away to Walmart we go tomorrow! AAHHH... To be Snaggle tooth and 6 again... So carefree... not a worry in the world.
