Summertime finally feels like its arrived.  On Sunday, the sky was filled with sunshine and felt warm enough to break out the kiddie pool.  The kids were thrilled, not even minding the freezing cold water in the newly filled pool.  Probably because as quickly as water poured from the hose, it was tossed overboard.


Martin kept himself really busy throwing a quarter in the pool and in plastic containers, pretending that it was a wishing well or that he'd discovered a treasure.


I spent most of my time trying to keep the kids from flipping over the side of the pool where I imagined every ten seconds that someone was going to break their arm or gonk their head.


Despite the fact that the pool only holds about ten inches of water, goggles were required.  As were frequent breaks to bundle up in sun-warmed towels.


After about an hour of splashing and water tossing and sliding around, we took a break for some snacks.  Martin having chips and salsa, Sophie eating chips and spaghetti sauce.  Kinda gross, I know.


We sure are glad that summertime is finally here.  Spaghetti sauce and all.
