pool party

We bought a pool for Nicholas a few weeks ago, and this afternoon Kent decided to throw a pool party.
It was kind of last minute, but Nicholas's friend Jayden came and played.
Hopefully next time little Pax can join in the fun, too.

Because it was fun.
Simple, splashy, sunscreen-slathered fun.
Nicholas loved being in the water,
and the pool is big enough for the adults to join in the fun, too!
I had good intentions of making homemade strawberry lemonade, but it was not meant to be.
Too many missing or expired ingredients.
So we substituted with the can of lemonade mix in the pantry,
and I set it out with some flowers I picked from the field across the street.
It was a perfect summer Saturday.
After the party, we ate our dinner on the patio, went for a drive to deliver a birthday gift, wrestled in the living room with our little monkey boy, then put the baby to bed and the two of us ate ice cream on the couch while we watched a show.
