OK so let me tell you about our Sunday...

We went to church this morning and worked in the nursery which is always fun! The babies were worn out...of course they didn't nap. So once we got home they napped in the car for about 50 minutes(I sat in the passenger seat and put photos in my albums!) They had lunch and then went down for their regular nap time...same old same old...
Anyway the rest of our day was WILD! The babies woke up screaming...never a good thing...someone must have had a bad dream and cried out then that woke the other one up.
So all I have been wanting to do since Friday is go to our new pool...it just opened and everyday we go walking and we walk down to the pool to check out the progress...so finally it is ready and the forecast is rain for the next 5 days!! Once the babies were awake I knew we had 1 hour of "happiness" before it was time for a bottle. After the battle of the sunscreen(a horrible screaming experience) we got our suits on,swim diapers, grabbed the floats, sippie cups, extra diapers, towels, hats...the list goes on and keep in mind we have 2 of everything!! We drive down to the pool, get out, look up and a black cloud is hovering over the pool! It had been sprinkling on and off all day so we thought "this too shall pass." Yeah---no such luck! We unloaded everything got the babies in the "baby pool" for about 2 minutes (the water was freezing by the way) and a monsoon came!! Wesley looked like he jumped in the pool by the time he got all of our stuff under the shelter! Anyway we decided to wait out the storm and we waited and waited and waited. Finally I gave up, put dry diapers on the babies, wrapped them up and we headed to the car in the rain.




We headed home, pulled in the drive-way and the rain stopped; blue skies for days!
By now it is bottle time. We fed the babies and since the sun was out we decided to blow up a baby pool that I bought on clearence at TJMAXX. I love this little thing and the babies do too!

We added a little warm water to it and the babies had the best time...I was just getting ready to lay out on my new chaise lounge until it started raining again! The babies were already wet so we just let them keep playing. Wesley and I ducked under the umbrella to stay somewhat dry. Anyway the rain stopped but then we had another issue. I have always told you that we like to learn things the hard way, well we put the babies in this pool in their regular diapers (not swim diapers) I thought it would be OK for just a little while...HA HA I know you moms out there are laughing! The babies had little pieces of gel all over them and all over the pool! That is why swim diaper are so darn expensive.
Well the splashing continued only it was in the bath tub.
We were whooped after this pool/non pool experience. We decided pool days were for weekends only and we need to make sure there is time for mommy and daddy to get a nap to recover!!
