I’m sure you’ve all heard how hot it’s been for the last few days on the east coast. Our town has a pool (that sounds so John Cheever but it’s true). In fact, if you’ve seen this movie, you’ve seen our pool. It was filmed there (creepy, creepy movie. Felt like I needed to shower after seeing it). Anyway we went to the town pool for the first time on Saturday and had a great time. I see such a change in Leo from last year. Last summer he was so much more of a baby. This summer I can see that we can sit on a blanket and watch him play in the baby pool (a mere few feet away, but still) as opposed to having to shadow his every move. Ellie seemed to like the baby pool too, cruising around the edge and exploring.
Sunday it was too hot to go anywhere. So the pool came to us. We used the handy dandy electric pump (great invention) and blew up our gifted pool (see Friday’s entry) in about ten minutes. Leo was so excited he actually jumped in before it even had water in it. He also loved the whole filling it up with water process (see photos) but had a hard time keeping the hose in the pool. Because flooding the deck is so much more fun!
Ellie was not herself on Sunday. Teething, whiney, maybe a little cold? She was content to sit on the blanket and do a lot of toy chewing. I think there was something on my camera lens because all the photos from the weekend have a fuzzy, dream- like quality.
I think there are going to be a lot of pictures like this in the next few months. Backyard. Pool. Hopefully not with a dirty lens though.
See that falling down fence in the background? Kiss it goodbye. We have a date with the fence company, Friday morning, Baby. Ruby is about to become an outside dog and I’m readying the chair with the drink holder. Once that fence is up we are living in that backyard.
