Hot, Hot, Hot!

It was unbearably hot a few weeks ago and the kids just wanted to go swimming but going to an indoor pool is not what we had in mind.  I seriously hope the complex pool opens next summer.  We have missed it so much this year.  Anyway, after going through a million popsicles Luke finally told the kids that he would go buy them a pool. They were so excited.  Claire kept calling him to find out if he had bought one yet.  Crue put on his swimsuit and kept checking the window waiting for his dad to get home.  They were seriously bouncing off the walls excited. 
Apparently everyone else had the same idea because Walmart was sold out.  I felt so bad for Luke when he came home empty handed and had to tell the kids there would be no swimming pool.  The kids were bummed.  So what does my brilliant little boy do??? Oh, he just makes his own little swimming pool. Luke could hear him doing something in the bathroom and this is what he found.  Crue was pretty proud of himself.   
 
 
Luke was already feeling guilty about not being able to get the kids a pool but then seeing that Crue had to resort to playing in the sink to cool off  made him feel even worse.  We all loaded up in the van and went on a mission to find a swimming pool. 
 
Walmart...nope.
Family Dollar...sold out too. 
Williams...haven't had any for awhile. 
Sears...didn't carry them. 
Walgreens...only little kiddie pools.
Big 5...Jackpot.  We bought the last one they had.

They LOVE it! 

This mom is a little bit paranoid about the pool so it only goes up on the weekend when Luke or I can stay outside with them the whole time.  Now Claire and Crue anxiously await the weekend when their daddy gets home.
