A Guy, a Girl and a Big Dog: Slice of Heaven

Last Sunday I got myself a little slice of heaven which Miss B promptly claimed as her own...

That's right a kiddie pool! No I didn't buy this for the kid-to-be, I bought it for MYSELF!!

You see I was quite spoiled growing up. We lived literally ACROSS THE STREET - AKA WALKING DISTANCE - LESS THAN 200 Ft from the pool! I got to swim EVERY DAY and it was GLORIOUS! Here in Lawrence they don't really have such a thing as neighborhood pools. (Side Note: If they do PLEASE PLEASE tell me!!!!) Growing up I also was a life guard at the same pool and it was so relaxed and fun - isn't it like that everywhere?! NO! Absolutely NOT!! I worked one miserable summer here at the City Pool and let me tell you, those kids are NOT fun! I mean they actually almost drown, you have to SAVE PEOPLE!! In all 4 summers I worked at the neighborhood pool I NEVER once had to save anyone and I could probably count on one hand the times that other guards had to save someone (my brother is one of those, but that's a story for another day :). Sorry got off on a bit of a tangent there. My point is I don't really enjoy going to the pool here, so I've made my own little paradise! This guy is about 6 ft across and a couple of feet deep. Just deep enough that I can float on a raft while laying out! The Husband thinks I'm ridiculous, but if I'm going to grow a baby this summer, I'm still going to be tan and cool for that matter! Of course Sunday it was cool and rainy, so I haven't gotten to use it yet, but I will. The Husband even made me a skimmer to clean out the bugs and grass! He's secretly jealous :)

The rest of Sunday I watched as the Husband and his little helper trimmed trees so our garden will get a little more light.
