Today was a HOT day in Sharpsburg, Georgia! When I woke up this morning the house was nice and quiet, which is probably why Ansley and I were able to sleep until 10:30! I had to go looking for Joe and the kids and finally found them playing outside...well the kids were playing, and Joe was cleaning out the garage, loading up his truck with his 4th load to goodwill (4th load over the last month), and getting out the blow up pool we purchased for $20 at Walmart at the end of the season last year. As you can see from the picture above, he was able to get the pool put up for the kids and they LOVE it! I told them that one day we will have a house with a real inground pool in our backyard and AJ said "Well, can we take this one with us?" It's amazing how happy a $20 pool can make them! I love it because I can be inside and watch them the entire time, as you can see from the photo below. I took that photo while I was standing at the kitchen sink, I loved having them be so close and still be outside having a blast!
Needless to say, we didn't get out of the house today...well Joe went to Goodwill and to my parents house to borrow a bike so he could go for a bike ride w/ AJ this evening. Oh, and we did go to Kohls this evening to purchase Braves T-Shirts for Joe and AJ. They are going to AJ's first Major League Baseball game tomorrow and have GREAT seats right behind 3rd base! I will post on that tomorrow! They will have a great time! I asked Aleigh what she wants to do tomorrow since it will just be us girls, and she said she wanted me to go and buy a bathing suit so that I can swim with her tomorrow. Unfortunatly I don't see that happening w/ Ansley. That water is WAY too cold! Hopefully I can think of something brilliant so that we can have a fun day too, and Aleigh won't hold it against me for not going swimming! Do you think I can make shopping or a movie sound like more fun....I doubt it! It's amazing how the simple things make kids so happy, and it often doesn't even involve money! My kids love it when we sit down to play cards or a board game with them, watch a movie with them, or even just sit outside and watch them play! I will go outside with Aleigh tomorrow and hang out w/ her by the pool, I am sure that will make her happy too!

Sounds like a great first day of summer vacation ! I wish we could invite you 3 girls to come hang out with us 3 girls, but Drew has strep throat, and Tessa has a little cough.
I hope we're still on for June 2nd, call me soon.
love y'all,
Aunt Robin
