Thankful Thursday - Summer Fun

Our summer fun this year has been swimming. We have never owned a pool of any size and never really thought about ever buying one. But we've have the kiddie splash pools and such things. This year DH decided that we needed a bigger pool; he saw one on sale. So we put the money out for it.

I am so very glad that we did! The children have been in the water every day since we bought it. A couple of the warmer days, I've been in too. I'm surprised that DH hasn't been in at all since it was his idea and I thought he was buying it for him to use too.

At first I was a little frustrated with the water in and out of the house and the towels being used once and tossed on the floor. I decided that my anger wasn't going to make a difference, so we came up with a solution; there is a room at the top of the stairs that has a railing that they can hang their wet stuff on to reuse it later in the day. And the wet floor, well, it dries.

I am thankful for DH's decision to buy the pool and for my decision not to be frustrated by the extra mess.
