This Is Us

  We had to drain the water out of the pool this year so we could put clean water in and adjust the support poles. Nick ended up having to go out of town for work so I needed some help getting some more bricks put under the poles. Xander and his best friend Cairo went to the hardware store, bought the bricks for me, and then put them under the poles. It may not seem like a lot, but for me it was a huge help and I grateful appreciated them taking time to help me.

They reserved the big pavilion, rented the blow-up "rides", had a Cotton Candy machine, Popcorn machine, and a Snow-Cone machine. The kids were so excited! The first thing they had to do was go on the rides. We said "You don't want to eat first" and they looked at us like we were completely nuts, which we probably were since we knew the answer... and said "NO!" They ran over to the HUGE slide and couldn't get their sandals off fast enough. We had to leave Xander's socks on because of his burn (which is getting so much better. It's almost healed). He was okay with it because he knows that it needs to stay clean (which is why he is wearing socks in 90 degree weather) and the sock also helps keep the bandages on. He even told me that he had to keep his socks on. So cute! ...
