pool party

About 1:30 yesterday afternoon, my phone beeped with a text from Michelle. She was asking to come over and visit and let the kiddos go swimming in my pool. Of course, I was more than happy to have a reprieve from my scintillating day of, well, nothing... ha!

So about 4 o'clock, she arrived with two in tow. Samuel and Gabrielle. Sam has been taking swim lessons this summer and has consequently gotten very brave and quite proficient at swimming on his own!

Miss Gabrielle though, Michelle was wondering how she would handle it. Apparently, in the past, little miss hasn't been too fond of the pool. And once her toes would touch the chilly water her hands would clap together as she belted out DaDoo DaDoo! meaning, all done :)

However, her fear/dislike of the water quickly disappeared today as she began making near total trust falls into the water. Her deal was jumping in and then promptly climbing out to do it all over again.

I'm so glad I have friends who have kids so I don't have to have them myself. well, at least not yet ;)
