Pool Playdate!

Our friends Shehla, Mason, and Hunter were hosting a playdate at their community pool, we originally weren't going to go...you can't predict the weather that far in advance, but I saw it was supposed to be 95 so I asked at the last minute if we could still come.

It worked out that we could!

So this morning the boys and I drove down to join our friends and many more of their friends at the pool. Man, Molly, I don't know how you do it all day every day, but it was hard trying to be on top of two little ones. Especially in the kiddie pool. Easton is even more of a fish than the last time we went swimming--he was probably underwater more than he was above it. It seemed like the only times he'd come up would be for air! If he was more normal and just waded around I think I wouldn't have been so uptight...but it's like he's trying to see how long he can hold his breath. Not my favorite game, if that's what he's doing!

Dalton spent a lot of his time wandering around the outside of the pool. But right when we got there both boys got in...I was still trying to take off my shoes and sarong and told Easton, "if Dalton falls in, would you get him?" And right then D went under. Another mom grabbed him for me. I was quick getting to him, I knew I could be if I had to...but she beat me. Whoops! He was fine, like he always is. Didn't even have time to try to take a breath. Another time when D was walking around he slipped on the wet pavement and fell backwards. Luck was on our side again and he was fine. But eek! I didn't relax for a second...just like Molly said! :) The only time I was even comfortable enough to grab my camera was right before we were about to go!







A couple times we went into the big pool with Easton in his life jacket and D in his floatie tube. It's much easier keeping track of two that way. That's when I could relax.

We had fun, though. Towards the end Easton was getting worn out and kept having little mini fits...I couldn't figure out what set him off in the first place. Apparently he was getting too much water in his goggles. So it was time to go! And time to find some lunch.

We stopped at my new favorite McAlister's...we ate there so the boys wouldn't have to wait. Yum yum! Easton was much more pleasant after some lunch. And even more pleasant after this:


They both fell asleep on the drive home...and somehow both went back to sleep when we got home. I'm going to have to wake E here in a sec. We'll do a craft before I wake up D.

Watch me complain about bedtime tonight! :)
