We bought a new pool last week (when it was "cold" and cloudy) and the kids have been DYING to set it up...so today was the day...we had some friends over and set up the pool...15 minutes into it they were done and ready to go inside...NO WAY!


Okay...when my dad was a little boy he and his twin brother (Dave) made up this thing where they push their feet together and sing "Jackie Gleason Washing Machine" (over and over)...then when we were kids my dad taught it to us and it turned into "Jack
Alisha Washing Machine"...we thought this was so fun when we were little and now that I am grown up I often wonder "why did we think that was so fun?" but I showed my kids this same "game" years ago and they too love it...and they do it often and today they taught Maya how to play in the pool...and the rest of the time I would hear Maya singing "Jack
Alisha Washing Machine"...its pretty catchy! Here is a picture of them doing the washing machine...


I also set up the slip-n-slide and they played on that forever! I so wish we had a pool...but I guess our little pool and slip-n-slide will have to do for now (and we will have to mooch off of other people's pools)!

Lucy liked watching the kids play outside...I think she wants to run and play too!

I'm dreaming of a REAL pool also. But I keep saying the same thing that the kiddie one will have to do for now!
FUN!!! So how are you handling the kids being out of school? Are you dying yet...I know I am! What did you decide to do with Sammy over the summer? Hopefully her and Taylor will have a class together!
gotta love the blow up pool for sure. ok we need to get together and play but we need to find a new meeting place the park is too hot! I was cracking up at the pic of Nate in his graduation cap.
We have that pool except it is the 90"round one. I love going in it with Payten:)!
